Math is awesome.
The wait is over!
Edit: Gosh! Am I embarrassed… I forgot that it’s Outlaw that I need!
The wait continues…
Edit: Did I mention that the library display of EGS sucks?
Are we there yet?
1 hour 54 minutes. GAH!!!
More like 7 hours 54 minutes for me. Stupid jobs, what do we need them for, anyway?
This is an old video, but @tbaldree is here showing off drifting (which I didn’t know was a thing and it looks great, so for anyone else that wasn’t following this title late last year, worth checking out.
So we can’t even pre-load? Ugh.
Hope the EGS doesn’t break later when everyone is downloading and installing.
Yeah, no pre-loads on Epic. It only requires 8GB of space, so it’s probably a 3-5GB download, I doubt it’s something that really needs a pre-load.
It’s actually a llittle bigger - it’s a 12.5GB download, about 18.5GB installed.
It’s also DRM free so preload is pretty much the game. Although… I don’t know if they even do preloads yet on EGS? We didn’t really investigate due to the basically raw nature of the game.
I am pretty sure I read EPIC doesn’t do pre-loads, but even as I type this I feel like I was able to pre-load Metro Exodus, so now I’m not even sure. EDIT: Nope, Reddit was mad about it too looks like. No pre-loading on EGS currently, looks like.
Why am I stuck at work?!?! Dangit.
How critical is a SSD for this game? Are there load times between areas I should be aware of?
When does it go live? (EST)
Noon? Epic doesn’t have a countdown clock.
Goes live in 11 minutes from now.
I’m using my SSD and load times are pretty small. Not sure about non-SSD
I’ll let you know. No SSDs on my PC whatsoever! ;)
If you feel load times are too slow on non SSD you can reduce them somewhat by using ‘normal’ mesh quality instead of ‘high’ - will cut down on a reasonable hunk of ship geometry data.
