Brink General Thread

yup

[Aegis]

another thing the game needs - better curb stomp detection. getting sick of trying to pistol whip downed people, but sliding through them instead.

[Ratty]

lol yeh see that happen lots Aegis.

mind u at the same time i love watching people shooting downed enemies at point blank instead of stomping them.

waste of ammo anyone lol

I just use my melee attack - which I think is a knife on downed enemies.

[Aegis]

depends what you have equipped - SMG or bigger = butt stroke; pistol = knife. but you have to crouch to hit them (fair enough) but if you run over and crouch, of course you slide right through and the attack *always* seems to miss downed enemies when you slide.

for those that dont have the spec ops pack and want one, pm me.
gu regulars only of course.

Hi everybody,
I bought Brink for roughly about 20 dollars, but the person I bought it from is saying I need to have activated VPN client to activate,install and play the game (it was mentioned in the auction I didnt read it thoroughly). The key arrives tommorow but I need to know why I need to have VPN client activated, can I run it without it and can I get banned for altering the IP adress? (also if not, which software is best for altering IP adress for this situation?)

You shouldn't need to use a VPN, unless Steam now region restricts game activation the same way they do actual purchases.

If you do need to, you'll just want to search for a VPN trial, one that lets you connect to the net via the relevant country (origin of key).

You shouldn't worry about getting banned in any case. A noteworthy percentage of Steam users have been spoofing their location for years to get cheaper deals.

So I got photo of Russian Brink and when I try to add it without VPN or with VPN client I have (CyberGhost) It keeps saying I cant do it from my region. Any tips which VPN client has russian IP?

Both Overplay and StronVPN have Russian servers:

- StrongVPN.com is VPN service, offers security and anonymity for personal use
- http://www.overplay.net/

Thanks for tips, but I was hoping for one with trial (I am kinda broke now) And if I would use VPN to activate and install the game do I need it to play?

[Aegis]

you wont need it to activate.

[Lopardur]

you wont need it to activate.

I am from Europe; czech republic and when I try to activate my russian Brink key it keeps saying "This item cannot be activated from your region" or something like that. So please help me someone.

[rec]

You'll need to connect to a Russian VPN, as discussed. I'm not aware of any VPN providers that have access to Russian servers and do free trials, sorry.

I have photo the box with CD-KEY, should I try contacting steam support that my "friend" was in Russia, he bought for me Brink as gift and we are both sad that I can activate it?
