Thanks. I've been monitoring it all morning and yeah... it's been under supremely heavy load. I'm working with my hosting company now to increase the capacity. Hopefully everything is working now, but expect outages / delays every morning at about 10am pacific.
Always a good thing to have too much trafficThanks. I've been monitoring it all morning and yeah... it's been under supremely heavy load. I'm working with my hosting company now to increase the capacity. Hopefully everything is working now, but expect outages / delays every morning at about 10am pacific.
There have been over 200,000 unique IP addresses hit the site since 9am, which is an Enhanced Steam record. Enhanced Steam was also mentioned again on Lifehacker this morning and it's been getting tons of traffic from here, Reddit, Slickdeals, NeoGAF, and a multitude of others.
Thanks everyone for your patience and for helping spread the word!
I was downloading on my work computer since the sale started, was able to get it from the FF addons page no problem.
The total spent is actually using a mapped jQuery function that adds the total manually from the account page.
Ah, damn, but that makes sense. I was hoping to be able to pull all purchases with price for individual games, but seems like that may be impossible (or at least difficult) since the account page only gives cart totals. So if you bought 10 games at once, it won't break it down to cost per game.
Awesome! Along those same lines (figuratively) would it be possible to add check boxes and a "add checked DLC to cart"? Only, just dawned on me today when I was picking up some Pinball tables and wanted a several I didn't own, but not all I didn't own. Not sure if that would be in ES's capabilities. Either way, great feature to have.Bringing this to the app page:
Yeah I'm on it. We've had a lot of changes lately so the new translation didn't get rolled into 5.1 but they should be there in 5.2. I'm also still tracking down that bug.
Enhanced Steam is taking a little bit of a different approach to it's regional price checking. Rather than dividing the pricing up into particular regions, we'll have a screen in the options where you can set which countries you would like to compare results for. So if you'd like you can set a single country, or multiple countries (not sure on the upper limit yet, maybe... 6?) and those country's prices will be converted and compared.
Yeah, I was curious about that and wanted to know if J could explain why that guy has that problem when many others don't.
I actually have that issue myself. It is typically on the community side of Steam, like is mentioned. At first I thought it was due to browser updates as I was using Aurora, but have since switched back to Chrome and I still find an inordinate amount of log-ins required. I can't put my finger on the cause because it seems to be random. I'll be good for a few days some times and on some days I'll have to log in multiple times. But, for clarifications sake, I had these issues before ES. I do currently have my internet connection running through my phone, so maybe the IP Steam's servers are seeing is hopping, but it's odd that it doesn't happen nearly as much on steampowered vs steamcommunity.
What Neuro5i5 says is true - the Steam Community site has a lot more rigorous checks in place for remembering user credentials. Nobody knows or will publicly state what these checks are (for security reasons) but I think it's fair to say that SteamGuard analyzes the traffic coming in to the site to verify certain aspects of your login such as your IP address among other factors.
that good i can soon to get rid of steam prpice comparion unpowered out of extension for chrome less exteenisonSo the next version of Enhanced Steam is almost ready for release. Here is an overview of the new regional price comparison feature:
This is the default setting. You will see regional prices when you mouse over the price in the Steam store. Anywhere you can mouseover is indicated by a "world" icon.
In the settings (see below) you can choose to have it display always. If you do it looks like the above.
This is the relevant part of the options screen. From here you can set display options (on mouseover, always, never) and select the countries you would like to compare to. The defaults are shown.
Here is the drop down for countries. You can customize up to 9 countries you would like to check prices against. The script will then find the Steam price of those games for that country code and (if they exist) display them (see screenshots 1 & 2). The order these are configured in the options screen will be the order they'll display on the page.
If anyone has any further ideas of how this could be improved or something you'd like to see, please let me know!
$975.43 my wishlist llol. regional price is to pain guess i keep using the steam unpoweered.
Fully grasping the intricacies of tebonics.
Well the box is only processed after each item on your wishlist is evaluated. I actually used yours when testing the feature - sorry I didn't write down the amount. But it did take about 3-4 minutes to actually show up due to the 500 or so games you have on there.
I'd say load your wishlist page and grab a hot cup of tea. Then come back and try not to spit the tea out all over your monitor when you see the amount.
Ah, the old "go grab a bagel" waiting game. Thanks for the update, guess I will be a bit more patient next time ^_~Well the box is only processed after each item on your wishlist is evaluated.

EDIT: Actually, it looks like it may be an issue with Valve's side of things and could just be temporary. I'm getting an error 500 (Internal Server Error) when that feature is executing on your profile.
1. The layout should be like this:Some questions about the price comparison. This feature is an excellent addition and I would love to drop the plugin I am currently using (must be a modified version of steam unpowered, with some of my own tweaks):
1. Which price are the regional prices compared to? For example I checked the Serious Sam 3 BFE Gold prices, and what I got is like (the numbers are made up by me now):
EUR2: XXX EUR (+92%)
EUR1: XXX EUR (+14%)
US: XXX USD (+5%)
UK: XXX GBP (-5%)
RU: XXX RUB (-60%)
UA: XXX USD (-30%)
but what price is the "+/-0%" level? Which price is the "base price"?
2. Just choose one of EUR1 or EUR2 countries which use their own currencies instead of EUR instead of using EUR2 or EUR1 option. For example, select Poland instead of EUR2. Every time I reload the price I get the prices displayed in a different currency. I mean the comparative prices in brackets. Once it may be USD, another time it may be RUB, and then EUR. Just seems completely random. And it should be PLN instead.
Example of both issues:

And one more thing - I cannot find the "add unowned DLCs to cart" button or any way to enable it. Am I missing something?
Sorry you're having problems - most people aren't having this issue, just some. For most people, the conversion is taking place by correctly converting the prices to your store's local currency. Hopefully I can get this bug identified and resolved before the next version. Thanks for your patience!OK, I have the unowned DLC button now, maybe it was a cache issue. Thanks
Still there's a problem with the price difference percentage. See the SS3 BFE example here:
SCREEN.png
My region is EUR2, which is also chosen as the primary region for the comparison. You can see how the price matches the one on steam.
But the prices are compared in USD (see the comparative prices) and the EUR2 price is marked as "3.83% lower", which obviously shows that the US price was used as the default one (it is also marked as 0% difference) and which is confirmed by the currency. So previously it was Brasilian Reals, now it's US dollars...
So not having prices in my own currency is just a minor thing to me, having comparison done in a random currency, and having a random region used as the default one seems like a more serious thing to me, as it makes comparing much less intuitive.
Still I think you're on the way of making an already great expansion even better, and I only regret I cannot help too much in the development.
Thanks for all the work!
Thanks! That's actually exactly the kind of thing I love to hear. I don't want Enhanced Steam to turn into anything that people would consider invasive.
