Now installing Duke Nukem Forever! Holy shit!
#1 Posted 14 June 2011 - 06:18 AM
I am now installing the PC version of Duke Nukem Forever. After a 14 year journey, I have reached the end.
Or is it the beginning?
Always bet on Duke.
Never lose faith
And never, ever give up.

you want to play DNF while steam is in offline mode ?
that's simple.
unplug the ethernet cable from your pc,and try to start DNF.
A steam dialogue box will open and you will have the options to a) retry to connect b)play offline c) quit.
Click on the play offline option.

im playing online, ok
I click - go offline - then - restart in offline mode -
now back in the Library of my games and BAM dnf & dnf demo are gone!!
i click the desktop shortcut it does nothing. it says Duke nukem forever with a '2' @ the bottom right of the icon...
i roll the mouse over that, and it states steam://rungameid with afew numbers... this ICON does nothing. i delete the icon as it is a shortcut only, then going into steam Online again -- and into the dnf properties in steam. i click "create desktop shortcut" and it says "it could not create one as there is one probably already there"!! ?
so i go down to the start menu, type in duke nukem forever & get the display window up to see the two games listed duke nukem forever & duke nukem forever demo with the Nuclear symbold next to them, i create a new desktop shortcut for dnf, and it is the same, with that (2) on the icon!!
and again this icon goes no where...
Look, i installed dnf... been playing online but for it to dissapear as soon as i choose offline mode wtf?
Please if my more in depth post here helps give you the information to properly address me with the right answer ill be most pleased. thankyou guys..

typing dukeforever at startmenu gets me the "proper" shortcut. However, it doesnt work clicking it offline, online however it runs the game.
ill try steam forums 2, but this is meant to be easy! i got retail mafia 2 and i can play that offline with no need to plug in my internet connection..
ok, anyone here who is installing it now will surely know. You install, get the last bits thru steam and bam, play online.... happy, but click Offline and i dare say that ur game will dissapear from steam til ur back online.

I was wondering what the hell was happening with everyone just getting the game now, then I checked the time stamps.

Edit: In fact, I was probably still telling myself that after 5 hours in. There's no sense of progression thanks to the two weapon limit

But the first few minutes or hour is the best part of the game. Not to mention the really fun Duke Burger part.

They could of just followed the same level design techniques from Duke 3d and everyone would of been happy.

I'm trying to think of a good counter-argument to that, and so far I can't think of anything except for "the game would be too difficult."

I win! I think if modders were left to remake duke3d (not the reloaded gang), we would have some pretty amazing examples of how it could be done.

When your shrunk in the kitchen? Thats my favorite level. Yet I see a bunch of people bitch about it because first-person platforming was apparently suppose to die out a long time ago. I think its fun and better than shooting every 10 seconds.

If anything, I think the future is bright for Duke and I suspect we'll be hearing more shortly regarding Duke's future.........I'd bet on it.

I'm still here old man.
I suspect Gearbox will be turning their attention to Duke with both BL2 and ALIENS:CM finishing up shortly.

You just can't please everyone these days. It's funny in a way that the DNF we have today is the same game from back in the 2008 Footage leak, even then the haters said "It looks amazing". Hey, even when the 2009 footage was leaked people still seemed to like it. But as soon as they laid there fingers onto their keyboards and played it for them selves, the forums lit up like a forest fire.
