kenny78: i also just tried launching the game with steam.

just curious, are there any drawbacks from launching it with steam? i actually wanted to take some screenshot and i didn't want to have fraps activated thus using steam.

thanks.
Actually there are some drawbacks from using steam,for one the game wont track how long youve been playing and for two you cant get your achievements.

Game tracks how long you;ve been playing inside the game and every time I log on to Galaxy all my achivments update so game must track them internally too. Nothing wrong with using steam for the FPS counter or screen shots at all the only one draw back is the small ammount of load it adds on a weaker system running the game.

The game keeps track of time internally on your character stats screen, but you're right about Galaxy not tracking it unless it is launched by Galaxy and even then due to bugs in Galaxy it doesn't always work. Achievements are tracked properly when launching through Steam though.
I was taking screenshots with Steam but the latest dlc or patch seems to have broken the overlay from working ingame.

Sadly i have this issue as well. DLC killed the screenshots, the main reason i play on steam with the GOG version.
I´ll probably have to wait before i continue playing since i just love screening about every few minutes because the game looks so nice.

Yeah well, gonna play GTA V this week i guess ;)
