I think Discord is rather better than Mumble mostly for having a working goddamned overlay, jesus christ Mumble's is impossible

BUT I also think the slapfighting in this thread over the two is immensely silly

Thank you for reading my hot takes, I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I did writing them

Discord has an overlay? I didn't know, Discord just won the VOIP battle for me if that's the case.

Apparently the staggered release thing blew up and people in the US are downloading meanwhile it's still locked for people in Europe.

It sounds like it's working for people who bought keys from EU sites.

Bought my copy straight from Steam with Canadian monopoly money, store doesn't have a countdown anymore.

I DID have to VPN to the UK to get it to unpack my game though.

Just happened to me too, mid update. Set my languages and brightness, and saw first cutscene, then it stayed on a black screen. Alt tabbing a few times crashed it. verifying files now.

Nothing easy on launch day, huh :sigh:

I don't understand why Reddit is getting so worked up over this. Destiny didn't have a ton of customization options either, and your guy (or gal!) is going to spend most of the game wrapped up in a scarf with a bobble-touque on their heads.

EDIT: Timer is gone from the Steam store page but the game still shows as "Pre-load" instead of play. Lame. :(

So Best Buy has the gold edition up for pre-order again...but you can only get it shipped, and I'm not paying 35 bucks to get it express shipped for Wednesday.

Any idea if I'll be able to walk into a store and grab a copy of the gold edition tomorrow or am I poo poo outta luck unless I order online?

You'll be able to get it in the store. With the advent of digital downloads there's no real shortages of games in stores anymore.

Looks like you can VPN to get steam to unpack, but then you still can't connect yet.

Just installed the new GeForce drivers, with no ill effects apparently?? GTX 970 on Win10 x64. 3 monitors connected (two monitors mirrored, one connected but disabled). Did a "clean" install and deselected the 3D Vision stuff, for what that's worth.

Steam buyers pretty much everywhere can play it, I think it's just uplay or people who bought from GMG who can't at this point.
