It was also used in Battletech manuals and in Sci-Fi magazine/journals as the term for this type of craft ~1986/1987. Interesting ngram search?. Anything before 1985 seems to describe a method of shipping products from catalogues straight from manufacturer, rather than stock

Have you tried installing it in steam and looking for the key in registry again?

I think the trouble with this is the install method & location. When you buy the game on steam, it downloads/installs it to a steam library location. If you then buy DLC from Uplay, it doesn't have access to the steam library location, and so can't add any files for the DLC. (Extras that are in the base game and just need activation should be ok though - ie unlocks, rather than DLC). If you uninstall it from uplay/steam, and then launch Uplay, does it still make you install from Steam? Can you obtain the Key from Steam somewhere (account pages?)? Perhaps you can activate it in Uplay too.

You should put that comment as an answer!

@MindSwipe I love Serentiy, it's a great film. I also hate it too though.

Do you have any Utilities bought through Steam installed?

I wonder if the Steam application also caches them somewhere on disk?

Some modern games really benefit from an SSD these days though (loading times etc). If you're asking about performance going from gaming on the SSD to gaming on the HDD, the performance of a HDD will be a fair bit less than that of an SSD, so you may see increased loading times, even if there is an increase in read speed by utilising RAID1

Is 1024 x 768 the maximum resolution of your laptop? How old is it? (Make / Model ?) I find it hard to believe any laptop decent enough to play Warships only has a 4:3 screen. Perhaps there's another issue at play here (drivers or something).

Although this setting will be lost if you change the speed. It can also sometimes get lost in a steam update. I wish there was a way to add it to a permanent list of custom speeds.

Perhaps the weapons don't even work properly in [different] atmospheres? I seem to remember ME1 has some pretty harsh environments that you land the MAKO in (death in 10 seconds?) - perhaps the Normandy can only tolerate these briefly?

So you get stuff like mail, web, stop & play happening when you're just pressing A/B/X/Y/Triggers etc? (or a combination of). I've read a few threads talking about disabling desktop configuration

@Joachim I'll have a look when I'm at home and report back!

Although files in the manifest/payload/package will quite often be overwritten on reinstall/patch/verify. autoexec.cfg isn't a default payload file though - which is why it will stay there in it's edited form so long as you don't remove the repository folder.
