1,920 x 1,080 = 2,073,600
3,840 x 2,160 = 8,294,400
7,680 x 4,320 = 33,177,600
Seems like quadruple to me.

Edit: never mind, it looks like marketing is going with a different interpretation of all this than what I was thinking. You were right to call 7,680 x 4,320 8K.

Nordic's response to my support ticket for those wondering about their retail copies:
I went thru and bought it again. Will end up being some of the best $5 I ever spent.
I feel that is pretty fair, you are getting an updated version for 4.99. I went to buy it on the assumption that my copy was retail then realized it was in steam, so the 4.99 really didnt bother me.

I think only for criticals, but you can see the life bars of enemies at the top of the screen to see how much dmg or rate of dmg you are dealing.
Never noticed that. I guess that could work.
Never knew how much Diablo 3 drew from Titan Quest. Lots of the barbarian's main skills have equivalents here - wrath of the berserker, call of the ancients, war cry... lots of skill names reused in other areas...
On the rogue side, there are sentry traps too.

A shame but understandable. I assume THQ didn't have a master list of the retail keys it had generated (making it practically impossible for them to be whitelisted on Steam) and Nordic deemed manually providing AE keys to be too impractical, which is fair enough, especially as the game didn't hit Steam until a few months after the release of Immortal Throne.

I had the exact, same, word for word, answer.
I still ended up buying the game anyway.....

Do we need a new OT?
Maybe to organize for MP

That'd be cool!
Also, anyone recommend me a fun secondary for Defense that isn't Nature? Back in the day I went defense/nature basically every melee game and I know I will again this time unless someone sells me on something else.

Graphics hold up well?
I have no idea, I'm just running whatever gives me more damage and buffs. I'm only level 11 anyway with Dream + Hunter.

There are a lot of builds around, forums and such
In normal mode game is pretty easy event without a good build
Going to upper difficulties without a plan is a recipe for disaster though

Really well. If you told me this was a new indie game released today, I would not bat an eye.

I've been playing at 1080 and every once in a while I get a stutter. The screen will freeze for a second, then catch up. Anyone else running into this?

Yeah, it'll hitch occasionally and then speed up for a second. I figure it's just loading something, but who knows.
Most of the time it's buttery smooth, though.

The critical damage thing is also a toggle in the menu I think so check it on or off if you want it.
As good as some of the best.
Good and consistent art makes up for a lot of things. Simple and sweet with all the graphics in the right places or something.

Are there builds with the recent skill balances in mind?
Not that I could find. Aside from Dream being nerfed pretty hard, though, I haven't seen a ton of change, so older builds might still be pretty viable.
Used to really enjoy this game but I believe I played with a blood mod, jumping in to this today I missed it instantly. The game has no feedback when hitting things so it feels like you're swinging at thin air. Is there a blood mod for the anniversary edition yet? Or a damage number mod?

It sounds like what they're saying is trying to corral all the serial numbers used in the different printings of the games would be a headache, especially trying to find a system to use them to generate a Steam key from them.

Yeah I was going to go with my favorite Haruspex build, but unsure with the Dream nerfs. I may end up going pure Rogue or Brigand to take advantage of the stat buffs to bleed.

Pretty much what Anno said
Even considering nerfs, game mechanics are still the same so maybe some specific build may not work but that's it
For my first playthrough I finished the game as Defense/Storm (Paladin). I felt like I was Thor. Weapons charged with lightning and cold, which if I remember right, also includes the shield bash and charge. It was a lot of fun.

Is anyone familiar with a Hunting + Storm (Sage) build? Was thinking of doing some sort of bow build with bleed + cold for slowdown. NO idea if its even possible/viable.

I also notice the hitch, but only when warping in/out of portal. Other than that it's pretty much locked 60fps.
if you have it on steam you should see a Titan Quest anniversary edition along with your titan quest and immortal throne

Pretty common, iirc it was the same in the original
It's a problem if you're playing HC
This release has brought many good things. It made me wonder why it ran so much better than Grim Dawn, despite using the same engine. Turns out Titan Quest is just smarter about CPU core load, it's spread pretty evenly across two cores. Grim Dawn? It saturates one core which runs at 99% pretty much constantly.
So what I did was disable the core that ran at 99%, a step I repeated 3 times, until the game was only using 3 out of the 6. Suddenly it spread the load evenly between two cores and the game ran much better. So thank you, Titan Quest, you're the game that keeps on giving. All these years later :lol.
Just to give a taste of how much better it became, it now runs better maxed out than it did on the lowest settings. Which is insane. Huge oversight, can't think it's something that would've been especially hard to let the game automate, even if some games do get wonky as hell with the FX CPUs.
Edit: I'm also very stupid and had enabled an experimental feature in the options file that mucked everything up. That said, Titan Quest, what a game. Still amazing 9 years later.

Well, I had Titan Quest lying around for at least six years now but never got into. Damn I was missing out!
Started playing the version on Steam two days ao and I'm having a blast, already 15 hours in (char is a Conqueror). And those ragdolls are so fun, it's never getting old. Picked up the GOG release to support THQNordic in their efforts. Anyone who's remotely liking Diablo style games should absolutely pick this gem up! The 75% discount is ending tomorrow.

New patch out. Fixes the mouse cursor issue, adds an option to scale the UI to 4K, and other stuff.

Awesome, hope the mouse fixes work on my machine
Having never played this before I picked it up and wow, these guys have done some great work as far as UI/polish goes from what I can tell. Having a great time by myself so far but think I want to stop and get a friend to join me before I go any further. How is the multi with just one other person?? Does it work the same as say D3?
YES!!
Mouse disappearing and the UI not scaling quite enough were literally my only two issues.
Multiplayer works fine. The game seems to scale the enemy stats based on the amount of players in the server, so play with however many other players you want.
