IT'S FROM THE FUTURE!

Strange. I thought most PCs syncronised the time & date. But who cares, you've got it working again

Fingers crossed for stability and much fun times.

[claws]

Cool, glad you found it, things like that are sometimes almost impossible to find

[Hzza]

lol! At least you're back lover <3.

Easily explained. If it would let you log in, then the universe would collapse if you would login again at the same time in 2089 as it would overlap with what you did yesterday and create an infinite loop in timespace continuum. Simple security measures by microsoft, man! Think of the future, dude!!!

[Nineblade]

Easy explanation...steam tried to log you on  in 2089 where conductors are so efficient that data aquires mass. Hence your outgoing steam network data hit a solid wall of data much like jizz sliding down a mirror

Strange. I thought most PCs syncronised the time & date.

Default setting is for the machine to sychronise across the web to microsoft.com.

If the PC is part of a domain it will sync with the domain controller.

These setting are of course customisable using the NET TIME command and preferences are to set the sync to a local time server (manchester uni being a good time service provider)

HTH

[Power]

Wait, why did I applaud you Nine, I didn't understand half of that. What do you mean with jizz on a mirror?

[Nineblade]

I dunno mate...it's just a term my mum used to use alot

[Junta]

I dunno mate...it's just a term my mum used to use alot

Yep, she did.

[Nineblade]

She'd say anything to you John, since you were paying
I'll try and get you a clan discount

[CruelCow]

IIRC time doesn't sync if it's more than 15hours apart.

[Power]

Because what's the point? You clearly don't care about time anyway!

[DeadlyAvenger]

Well any of the OS Microsoft released after 2001 requires you to use NTFS, at least on the system partition. (Can junctions link from NTFS to FAT?)
I personally avoid partitions at all, there is ALWAYS space on the wrong partition!

And on a note: you can use my method on any sub-folder aka game, so you can split up the games on different partitions.

Sorry to re-rail & necro this thread...but do you know if there will be any performance losses if I had it set up as follows:

1. Steam installed onto my SSD (so it starts quickly with windows)
2. Symlink pointing to a steamapps folder on my 1Tb drive
3. *some* game folders sym-linked BACK to my SSD (e.g. the ones I play most often for fast loading e.g. TF2)

Basically - does it check the symlinks *before* looking at the disk, or does it follow one symlink, then follow the other.

I.e.
ssd -> hdd -> ssd (and if so...for *every* file accessed, or just once to find the final destination)
or just
ssd -> ssd

[Vitalis]

Sounds like it might with it pointing to different drives all the time.
It'd make sense that it'd  SSD > HDD > SSD. As that's how your file path would go.

Wouldn't it work better to have the steamapps folder on you SSD, with some games (more hardware intensive ones?) and the rest on the  HDD?

[Power]

Yeah, just stuff SDD with the frequent games and symlink those, where loading times don't matter to you. You can easily swap the games around at a later time if your priorities change.
