This is something i can see first time.  Try to reinstall skullgrls and see what will happen.

@sneak: This discussion is entirely about skullgirls, and its accessibility or lack thereof.  Just because you don't agree with a point of view gives you no right to ask that it be censored. Nor does it make it appropriate for you to ask me to "get the fuck out" on a public forum. Please consider growing up.

@sneak: But getting there is only sort of accessible, sometimes, with hackish work-arounds.  If I said to a person in a wheelchair, "My building is fully accessible, accept for the 11 stairs you have to climb to enter the building!" that just wouldn't make my building fully accessible.  So any reviews of the wonderful things inside my building would absolutely involve the entryway.  In this metaphor, steam is the entryway with the stairs, and skullgirls is the building.  My original post was intended to agree with @Blindjay in pointing out that the title of this topic is somewhat inaccurate. Then everyone else decided that I was sent straight from hell and should be crucified. I have spent the rest of my posts justifying my original position, and wiping the shit that everyone is throwing in my face out of my eyes.

At Fastfinge: You know, there is an interesting state of mind that humans experience when the conditions are right. People have wondered about this state of mind for centuries, and asked themselves how they might achieve it. The state of mind some might call, fun. That's right my good sir, it's called fun. Whether we throw money away by drinking boos at a bar and call it fun, or spend thousands on fancy cars to drive down back roads at hundreds of miles an hour only to crack our skulls open later, hell, some folks just have fun doing it. Whether a blind person spends money on certain video games that may or may not be accessible, is still fun, just for the experience of playing that game. Honestly, i don't think valve, microsoft, or google give a damn how you have your fun, as long as you spend a little money here and there to put some money in there pockets. My point here is, who the hell cares how we have fun! You can stand on your mountain of bitterness and complain to the masses for all the little good it will do you. Quite frankly man, your attitude just pisses me off because you have the audacity to try and rein down your negativity on a good comunity who doesn't care how they game, as long as they get some enjoyment out of it. Why you feel the need to tell blind people how to be good blind people and not support mainstream companys because you have beef with them is quite frankly unpopular in this good group of people. I'm almost to the point where i'm wondering if your simply a troll. The guy to jump in the middle of a civil topic and start crap because it makes you feel better some how?

@arqmeister: If I were, I'd have to have been hiding it since 2010. In fact, I've been a member of this community for longer than you have.  The difference is that at least some of those examples of fun, it could be argued, don't harm others.  As for the incivility, I only give as good as I get, and I never start anything.

Sneak, have you played SG already? If not give me a shot when you'll willl and if can i add you on steam!

Cheers

I have! I just got it last night and stayed up untill 6 AM playing lol. I got to the end of story mode with squigly, and I got to marie with a few other characters, but she's an asshole! Like for reals! lol. She has this specp that sends you flying to the other side of the stage unless you block it and they can come in high or low or mid and her last form is in the air so you can only hit her with high attacks.    I had classes at 9 so it was pretty harsh, but I managed! Anyway, my user name on steam is sneakyer! The jerk faces already took sneak, and sneaky, so I had to out do them out of spite .

@arqmeister: No problem. We all lose it sometimes. I know I've been reported before, and I will probably be reported again.  I'm passionate about every opinion I have, because if you don't have passion, what's the point of having an opinion?  But this can often turn me into a bit of a lightning rod.  I'm working on extricating myself from this topic as it is; nobody has any new points to make, nobody is willing to give a reasonable, civil, or well thought out response to any of my points, and I don't have much else to say on the subject.  So other than responding to questions directed at me, I'm pretty much done here.

@sneak: I am familiar with how advocacy works, thank you very much.  And the only company that was worse to deal with than Valve was AOL.  Even in large gaming companies like Sony, EA, or Nintendo, you can at least eventually find a human to speak with who works on products and understands what you're talking about. They aren't willing to do anything, of course, but at least you know you've made someone in middle management vaguely aware of the issue, and maybe laid some groundwork.  If you can find any human at all at Valve who will speak to you, and isn't just a minimum wage employee reading a script at a call centre, you are a better man than I.  Or woman, as the case may be. I mean you're a better woman than I am a man, not that I may be a woman. Ah, you know what I mean. 

The problem with Skullgirls is that I'm having trouble understanding why I should rejoice that I can now give Valve 30 percent of the money that LabZero deserves, for an accessibility failure like Steam.  If I could give LabZero all the money, and skip steam, I would be celebrating with everyone else.  But I can't, so I'm not.  And I won't give Valve one thin dime for the services they provide, like making it difficult to play the fully accessible game I just purchased. And I don't think anyone else should either.  The fact that LabZero gets caught in the crossfire, when all they were trying to do is good, is really sad and unfair. But life isn't fair.  The only good things that could come from this in my mind are that Valve feels some pressure and improves things, or that LabZero learns that Steam is stopping them from making a fully accessible game and can find a human being at Valve to complain to.  I'm convinced that media articles, and topics like this, that give the impression that steam is now fully accessible to the blind, are bad for us, bad for developers, and in the long run even bad for Valve themselves.

@robjoy: Perhaps. But I think that accessibility laws internationally have changed enough that the public awareness of accessibility issues is large enough that we would get decent levels of media support, and support from other members of the gaming community, if we started a campaign to carefully advocate for minimal changes.  Also, a growing number of programmers are getting accessibility experience via Google and Apple platforms, so they are more understanding, and more likely to be helpful to us in a campaign to get Valve to give them the tools they need to make their games accessible.  Lastly, the accessibility laws have been in effect long enough that I'm sure the lawyers at Valve are at least aware that getting sued is a risk.  The keys would be that we would *all* need to participate in this movement with one voice, and we would need to make it clear that the changes are small enough they would not affect gaming for sighted players.  Based on the hostile, negative, immature, and divisive nature of the discussions in this thread, I don't believe that the blind gaming community can come together strongly enough to make this movement a reality.  Based on what the community has expressed its overall opinion to be, I firmly believe that mainstream gaming accessibility will only get rapidly worse, not improve.  Members have made it clear that they're willing to just take whatever they're given, no matter how difficult or incomplete. So difficult and incomplete is all we as blind gamers are ever going to get from the mainstream.

I think all you have to do is reinstall the game.
Also I just want to point out that even if all the blind people in all the world stood up and screamed naked from the rooftops, developers wouldn't care. In the end it comes down to money, and people just aren't willing to put the effort in to make there games accessible barring a few exceptions.

Hey shawn, did you ever tell it to download in the first place? You will get the game in your start screen, just navigate to it route your mouse to the skull girls, then right click it should pop up a menu that says something like install play view achievements view changes view forum, you'll want to make sure that it doesn't say install at the top. if it does, go ahead and right clik on that, make sure to curser in a few times so the mouse is directly on it. also, make sure the steam window is maximized. Sometimes not all of the buttons are viewed due to it being such a small window. so yeah. hope that helps.
