So now that QFI 1.1 has been released to Steam, how come I don't see a download purchase for it on Steam, and how come GameStop doesn't know about any supposed availability on Steam (they sell Steam accounts for any current games that are available).

Now that 1.1 is out, what about all the stuff that was supposed to be included: strategy guide, posters, etc.?

I'm waiting for 1.1 today?

Anyhow, here's my tu sense:

The two most common ones are abstemious 'indulging only moderately in food and drink', and facetious 'treating serious issues with inappropriate humour'. Oxford Dictionaries Online also contains the chemical term arsenious 'relating to arsenic with a valency of three', while the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary includes abstentious 'abstinent' as well as the rare botanical and zoological terms acheilous 'having one or both lips absent', anemious 'growing in windy situations', caesious 'bluish or greyish green', and annelidous 'belonging to the phylum Annelida'.

When attempting to draw runes, I often make mistakes. Sometimes the mistake is a valid spell. Yesterday, I couldn't figure out why there was an FPS indicator in the upper left part of the screen. Libertatis was zipping along at an average 60 FPS.

Accidentally found out that F11 cycles the FPS indicator on/off in Pc game version.

Now why did I not catch that mistake?

Anyhow, thanks for the catch.

Still finding uses for random keys, where previously I just invested in picklock points and used toolkits.

Kill King Lunshire and take his 2 keys. Add them to your keyring if you have it.

When drawing spells in the save mode, draw/save 3 protection from cold spells.

Go to the big wooden gate near the tavern in front of the fortress.

Activate the cold protection spells, than open the big gate.

You still freeze to death. why? Isn't there anything beyond the gate but death from freezing?

Or maybe more freezing protection?

The XMas holiday has passed with only two very unappealing postings. The pink santa's bag was way over the limit. It's amazing what minor things that weren't allowed on QFI and was erased. Are the latest postings staying put?

If I remember correctly, it was mentioned that the QFI update would likely be released this month. 6 days to go!

Hope you all ate too much. I reached the earth shattering burp on two different days.

I want to do it because it can be done. When something is doable, I too want to do it or at least die trying. Well, no literally. It's just not right that just a few people can do it. I once told my older brother that I was planning on rebuilding an automatic transmission. He laughed at me and said there's no way I could do it. With Chilton's repair manual and another used transmission for parts, I was successful. The rebuilt transmission worked better than it did when the car was first purchased. To top it off, I also rebuilt the transmission's valve body and had no parts left over.

I've watched videos of the SOS being drawn. Only thing is, the gamer was using the console version of the game. Forgive me, but I don't think the PC version allows drawing the secret spells. I've been successful with most of the regular rune spells. If nobody wants to share their PC save with maps completely uncovered, either it can't be done on the PC, or hm... I don't know what to think.

Any how, everyone have a good holiday and a bounty of fortunes in the coming year.

Oh, by the way, the video of the gamer drawing the secret cheats, they first drew the MAX (not a very good M) cheat, then drew the SOS cheat. Surely to goodness MAX is not required before SOS, which I cannot accomplish.

Has anyone been able to draw the SOS cheat for PC? I'm using Libertatis 1.12 64 bit. Would be nice to have a save game near or at start. Even anywhere in the game. It's my idea to play through the game with all maps completely uncovered, then use the bug/cheat to start a new game with maps still uncovered.

But in case anyone has completed the game with all maps completely uncovered with the SOS cheat, the last save would be even better. That way I could start a new game with all maps completely uncovered. Yea, I know, I'm stinkin lazy!

Actually, I've become quite proficient at casting several spells.

I believe I've discovered a game glitch that's a great benefit. On a recent completion of the game, I loaded up the most recent game save. Then I deleted all saves in the load screen, chose start new game. Was warned that current game would be deleted, clicked ok and started new game. After that, I noticed the map areas from previous game were still uncovered. Ok by me!

A very lame attempt to get back at the world in general. Speaking of sanctions, during the cold war (long before the collapse of the soviet union, several countries got their heads together and intentionally forced the soviet union to spend vast amounts of revenue on defense that was never really needed. This forced our neighbors into bankruptcy.

Now with oil prices and gasoline way down, the soviet union has lost nearly 200 billion (rubles, dollars?) in sanctions in their oil industry. Now mark my word, once they are once again at the bottom of the pit, you watch gas prices go way up again. And you thought dirt only came from Washington, D.C.

Rebooted, etc. A time or two, something changed internet security options "Download files" and "Download Fonts" to disabled. The Dec. 9, 2014 updates are quite possibly bad files from the source. After I uninstall the updates for that date, everything is back to normal.

So I'm wondering if that is a ms agenda to force sales of W8. Nah, probably not.
Anyone know, who actually tried, if Arx Libertatis/Fatalis does ok on windows 8?
