Valve Finally Have A Proper Refund Policy For Steam
2 Jun 2015 at 5:56 pm UTC

well it was about time....

http://www.out-law.com/en/topics/commercial/consumer-protection/the-new-consumer-rights-directive/ [External Link]

Consumers have 14 calendar days to change their minds and return the goods for any reason

Currently under English law consumers have seven working days to cancel a sales contract and change their minds. This is commonly referred to as the 'cooling off period'. This will be extended to a minimum of 14 calendar days. The 14 day period will begin from the time the consumer receives the goods – not at the conclusion of the contract as is currently the case.

But Valve vs EU

and now is fixed :)

Legend Of Grimrock No Longer Works On Nvidia GeForce GTX 900 Series GPUs
29 May 2015 at 7:32 pm UTC

I Am trying to investigate the problem so here are my findings...

so when I run it from terminal I Get:

[wolf@W Legend of Grimrock]$ '/media/ROMS/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Legend of Grimrock/Grimrock.bin.x86'
szCmd: /bin/sh -c '"/home/wolf/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh" steam://run/207170' [External Link]; &
[wolf@W Legend of Grimrock]$ Running Steam on manjarolinux 0.8.13-rc1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
/home/wolf/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 710: LD_LIBRARY_PATH: unbound variable

so lets go on steam.sh
# Need to add /usr/lib32 to the library path to pick up libvdpau_nvidia.so on Ubuntu 12.04
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib32"

on my path /usr/lib32 I dont have such a file libvdpau_nvidia.so :(
the file is located on this path /usr/lib32/vdpau/

I have tried symlinking files. changing paths etc but nothing

even if delete that line 710 it stucks on line 713
# prepend our lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM:$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/panorama:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

if I delete that one as well then it cannot run steam :P
