The IP is in AU when I googled it even though I set it to NZ in VyprVPn. I set the download location to AU - VIC, changed my store location to Australia, clicked the yes on payment info... and nothing has changed.

Tried restarting Steam, went into Account Details , store region back to US... try switching it to AU (check my download location, still the same). Go to the store, same exact problem as my screenshot...


No, I thought I needed to launch the game THEN turn it to offline? I never even got to unpacking anything :confused:

ohhhhh sorry I thought you had unpacked

To answer what I think your question is, my PSN copy of the game is preloaded and waiting to activate at midnight tonight, yes. Though it will have to patch after that, patches aren't preloaded.

Well poo poo, I'll have to try that. On the Amazon site, it says I'll be emailed when my code is ready, but it looks like I won't get a code until midnight. I don't get it, but whatever. I'll try downloading from PSN.

Can someone suggest a build wherein my character motivation is to lob an explosive at the enemy before running in and punching them in the face? I'm thinking 7str 5pe/int. Do the bonuses for heavy gunner and demo expert stack if I find a rocket launcher/fat man/missiles?

IGN are pretty much paid shills. It was less a jab at Bethesda and more a jab at IGN.

That being said I fully expect a Bethesda Game with all of the good and bad and honestly nothing I've heard had told me otherwise. Enjoy the good, laugh at the bad and I'm gonna lose like a week of free time to this no matter what. Honestly I'm just shocked to hear of a Bethesda game that can handle alt-tabbing properly like this one apparently can, so there's probably less bugs than in most.

I'd be VPN-ing/playing now but I have work in like 20 minutes. :negative:

Are the "workshop settlements" from that Local Leader Charisma perk referring to the main town you get to build, or just some side outposts? I want to make Charisma my dump stat because I want to self-identify as a goon in the game, but not if I don't get to build a cool base. Do I need Charisma to make a cool base?

shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.

Here is a steam community guide to tweak various poo poo if you are at work and not playing fallout 4 but want to pretend you are:



QUICK FIXES FOR DUDES THAT FINISH QUICK:

ipresentinterval=0 if you are running gsync or hate input delay or hate everything. Makes your camera act less sluggish and drunk. - change the value from 1 to 0
bmouseacceleration=0 because bethesda. If you think having this on in any game is fine, i will fight you. used by all MLG skyrimmers. add the line under the [Controls] header in config files below

apply these (or other) fixes to the .ini's below until we figure out what shenanigan config file priority system bethesda is using this time:
fallout4.ini (my docs>my games), fallout4prefs.ini (my docs>my games), fallout4default.ini (steam fallout4 folder)

Potentially gamesaving fix:
Ingame terminals may or may not work if you run 120hz+. Cap your framerate to 110 or lower with rivatuner or some poo poo and you won't get permastuck staring at computers in your computer game. Also loving with vsync may help if you want to go the extra mile

Welp, I've tried and tried yet nothing seems to work. I am VPNing into NZ with steam closed/exited, then relaunching it once I am connected. The store ALWAYS launches into US$ when it starts up, so I go into my details and change it to NZ$. It starts displaying all of the NZ prices and shows I can "Play Now" as in my SS from before... but it still won't launch. My DL preferences are set to NZ. Probably just going to stop trying at this point as I have no clue why it isn't working.

I don't understand this release style at all. Why the hell does the game release "Nov 9" when I can't unlock it until loving 11 PM this evening? That's not Nov 9th, its the 10th, just loving say it's coming out on the 10th ya twats.
