I still have to wait till I download the game on my slow-ass internet

Ghizz · Jun 2, 2015

So is any GAF member going to host their own server or are we all going to just join the official servers and get ganked 24/7

deadcelledo · Jun 2, 2015

Did Konami cancelled it?

SirMossyBloke · Jun 2, 2015

Hmmm. They just confirmed how the game would be great "if it had single player", which i'm assuming means it doesnt have one. Fucking boo.

From the official FAQ:

Will the game have a Multi-player mode

The game is both online Multi-player (with persistent official and custom player-hosted servers), and with a Local Single-player option as well.

Edit: Its up btw

7.8GB for initial download.

Same here. Not sure 7 gig is enough for the game.

MrCaliaztec · Jun 2, 2015

Tempted but I'm so burned out on early access sandbox survival builders that just don't have much content in early access.

Gonna wait to hear some impressions.

Ayumi · Jun 2, 2015

Now that the price is up, it says Win/Mac/SteamPlay next to the price.
But on the "PLANNED core feature" list it says Mac (implying it will be added later on).

I'm really confused. They wouldn't put Mac next to the price without current native support, right?

Probably size of compressed download vs. size of uncompressed install.

If the game intends to have future support then it can be placed. That's what Arkham Night does, even though there won't be a Linux or OSX version till the end of the year.

Yeah that seems to be the case. My download is showing as 7.8 in the actual downloads tab.

Sarcasm · Jun 2, 2015

Any idea when and if the packs are going up? Waiting for a 4 pack.

Mirk · Jun 2, 2015

Ah what the shit I was d/l at 15mb/sec @ 75% dropped to 500kb!

I love steam remote download. It will be done by the time I get home!

Understood (however stupid and misleading that is).
Lots of angry Mac/Linux buyers in the Steam discussions now.

Regarding 2 and 4 packs.
Valve told us we couldn't do this, we are currently begging them to let us. Will keep you guys posted.

Download completed, runs like crap (15-30 fps) on my pc with most settings on high and some on medium @ 1080p

Totally expected it but i'm sure it'll run better once is optimized.

My PC:

i5 2500k @ 4.3 Ghz
GTX 970 G1 Gaming
8GB DDR3

Ouch. My download's not complete but my GTX 580 am cry. Hopefully some of the constraint is on the CPU too and might get a bit of performance back with my i7 2600k. Pretty much expecting to run this on low while I wait on Pascal though.

XChainfireX · Jun 3, 2015

So does anyone here want to join a particular server and start a gaf tribe for us poor souls without gamer friends? ><

Sarcasm · Jun 3, 2015

Really not going to buy unless I can grab a four pack.

Phloxy · Jun 3, 2015

On my rig on highest settings I'm barely maintaining 30 fps.

I7 4790k @ 4.4ghz
Titan X
16 gig Ram

MrCaliaztec · Jun 3, 2015

Whew definitely sounds a little unoptimized!

Will be interesting to see how my 780 holds up since a friend gifted the game to me!

Sarcasm · Jun 3, 2015

Yea so not buying.

And I thought base price was 25 bucks and not 30.

This is some shady shit going on.

Sounds right from what I have seen so far.

Titan X = High @ 30fps
970 = Medium/low @ 30
Anything else = lowest possible and pray.

SLI anything = irrelevant because SLI doesn't work here.

I expect the optimization to improve a lot now that many different people are providing feedback.

I was told I could buy for $25 on EA release and I bought for $25 on EA release. I don't see what is so shady about this. It is very normal for EA games to be cheaper the earlier you get in.

15-30 fps on high with 970? That's really bad.

Ayumi said:

Must be because of the new refund system and Valve not knowing how to implement it.

The game has only been in development for a few months. I think this is extremely impressive for that amount of work.

Sarcasm · Jun 3, 2015

Just reading the words dev spoke.

If they said base price is 30 but first two weeks a 17% discount down to 25..that would make sense.

Not just

25 for single
40 for 2 pack
70 for 4 pack.

Josman · Jun 3, 2015

Honestly the game looks very good, they have a LOT of optimizations to do if they intend to sell this game, honestly what market are they aiming for when you barely get 30fps with a 970?

Project Morpheus support seems out of the question now

notoriousKTR · Jun 3, 2015

Early Access.

Also, they're putting up more servers.

Sarcasm · Jun 3, 2015

Servers are already full.

diablos991 · Jun 3, 2015

Sarcasm said:

You said you weren't buying?

Also it will take some time for players to host their own servers.
The devs are putting up more official servers to accommodate the influx.

XChainfireX · Jun 3, 2015

I can't join any servers...keeps saying unknown error. My firewall is turned off...not sure what's going on.

antonz · Jun 3, 2015

oh man. a group spent like 5 hours setting up a basecamp. A Stegosaurus waddled in and one guy was like lets get it. So he poked it with a spear and the Stegosaurus went ape shit and destroyed their entire basecamp and murdered them all

Well the game just released as Early Access, and there are hundreds of people slaughtering the servers at once.

So that's what's going on. lol
Might have to wait a while for things to stabilize.
