I wasn't browsing SA yesterday and did the driver update around noon-ish. I've got a new "Driver ready to be installed!" message from GeForce now so I'm going to assume I'm safe, especially since the drivers I installed yesterday didn't have any mention of The Division in the driver info.

Yeah its from today, its apparently causing a lot of problems.

This story so far is probably the most deserving of the Clancy name, this game has the most clancy rear end clancy plot in any game not directly based on a book plot. The American government has secret sleeper cells inside it's own country that is taking up arms and forming a militia to protect america, when everything falls apart.


This is the second amendment in game form

Somehow they also have authority over the publicly formed militia, the JTF, who do not know about them but take orders from them without question

They don't have control over the JTF, it's more like "Holy poo poo these division dudes are real loving competent, lets listen to them and follow their lead because we are kinda failing without them" The Security guy supposedly has a real good relationship with it's leaders.

Some of these ECHO logs are utter bastards to find. Anyone able to get to the one in West Chelsea, near Camp Hudson? The GUI says it's above some alley ways, but I can't actually find a way to climb up to it - nor can I find any sewers that I might get into either.

A couple of years ago they straight up bought the use of the Tom Clancy name for videogames, so it doesn't actually cost them anything to put it on a game. I'm sure they have some kind of marketing metric that says putting the name on a game sells X many more copies.

also its a marker for people/teams working on the game to know what they are getting into. meaning it will be "grounded in reality" their wont be zombies and lichs and poo poo like that.

It's like Homefront with slightly less xenophobia (until it probably turns out that Black Friday was caused by evil dirty foreigners or something) and actually decent game systems disconnected from the written narrative enough to have fun with.

I wonder if we'll have something like a Press X To Hide In Mass Grave prompt in this. Probably not, but I can dream of more hilarious attempts at edgy realness by out-of-touch old men :allears:.

Early beta had lots of cheating but the anti-cheat wasn't yet active. Supposedly they have plans for handling it using some system ubisoft has used before, should be pretty solid. Hard to say how it'll shake out before its released, but the game looks drat good on PC so I'm going PC.

I didn't see anything that seemed like hacking in the Open Beta. Once they started using the closed beta hacking data that was collected, everything was basically on the up and up.

I couldn't think that open release is going to be full of hackers that won't get squelched immediately.

I'd be legit surprised if the big bad guy wasn't some kind of ultra-patriot trying trying to engineer some kind of wake-up call to all the sheeple... as in every season of 24 and half the CoD games. Because that way you get to murder and torture everyone without being a racist and that's OK.

If you're in a party, people in the game will come through your TV, but they can't hear you. If you're not in a party, anyone and everyone nearby can hear you. Im not sure about the exact distance though.

Did they ever end up clarifying if PC stuff wasn't going to be client side for drops and such? I just remember hearing something vague about the PC version letting people gently caress around with client side files so they could more a less cheat.

Read the rainbow 6 seige reddit about fairfight, it only stops the easy cheats and fails at things that edit memory.
