lol I'm down to the last .05 GB of download and slowing at a rate that has kept it saying 30 seconds remaining for 30 seconds. Super stoked for it to delete itself when it finishes e: finished as I finished posting, let's see what happens when "installing" is done!

Anybody give this a go on PS4 pro? Bethesda has a perfect track record of loving up their games on PlayStation hardware so I’m curious if the curse has struck again but I won’t be able to try it myself until this weekend.

lol the preload failed and my attempt to sync deleted all of the files so the only answer is to re-download 50 gigs. I broke the BETA with a ragequit-tier bug by 7:01.

Game plays like a giant turd. And this is the story, The flying dragon monster is called the scorchbeast, it created the scorched. I went to the overseer's camp then ran in the opposite way of the next waypoint and then after 15 minutes I finally did not see any other players.

It's on an SSD and at 50% installed and just sort of hanging out there now so I'm anticipating you're correct e: lol with 0 i/o on that drive right now too e2: reset itself to 4% but at least it's ticking up again? Bethesda: if you're having problems open a ticket here:

I just went to the install directory, double clicked the application, and off it went. The launcher status changed from "installing" to "running". I've been through restarting it a couple of times now, launch from the launcher after that, changing graphics/controls settings. just post character creation now.

I am 80% convinced that everybody's preload was deleted on purpose so they could test put their game files upload. Seems hella expensive to do that tho. Getting decent speed. Between 10 and 15 mb/s. Estimated 40 minutes. Gonna bong rip and maybe character create. Beta tested. Why am I so attracted to this dumb gold rush experience. This is altogether a much better beta than Albion Online or Acheage. But it is still a lovely way to spend an afternoon. This is like when I used to get weed from a from gas station employee in Utah, then went to a brick and morter dispensary in California. It is nicer, more comfortable, and higher quality. But I am still just buying drugs. Wonder what Daytripper boosts?

Todd did tell you to expect spectacular bugs. It's not his fault you thought that just meant the game would break~

My initial install crapped out about 25% of the way, so I paused it, rebooted, and it continued at a faster speed. Once it was done, I hopped into the beta only to find a few of the textures not loaded in, which meant they continued the installation in a separate folder. Lovely. I soldiered on for two hours before it became annoying. Anyway, my biggest peeve was not being able to use the same station that someone was animating towards. Like, I don't need my character to perform an animation to do something; just let me do it! You literally solved this problem with terminals! Other than that, it's an MMO-rear end MMO that can use a lot of QoL changes ASAP.

It is literally just wander around and loot buildings. At least its some new buildings? You have destiny type events to look forward to also where there isn't any thing to do after you kill a wave for 2m while you wait for the next batch of ghouls to spawn. Then some janky robot flies in and drops a box with junk in it for you. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Oct 31, 2018 |

And yeah, we were just being realistic given Bethesda's track record with buggy games, and unfortunately Bethesda has exceeded even that. I'm used to lots of jank inside Bethesda games, but it's new to see the jank spread to the the game launcher itself. I legitimately wonder how many refunds this incident alone will cause. eonwe posted:if only there were some solid digital distribution platform that didn't randomly delete your poo poo https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/9st6gk/hey_bethesda_if_you_are_going_to_be_greedy_and/ https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/9ss6zh/the_countdown_in_the_launcher_was_just_a/ You're losing the crowd Todd, and the game isn't even officially out yet. quote:bolxrex: Saladin Rising fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Oct 31, 2018 |

I think my biggest concern right now is the navigation controls. It's a weird rear end mix of mouse and keyboard. Sometimes WASD does stuff, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you can use the arrows instead or the mouse wheel. Sometimes ESC will take you back, other times it feels like you need to hit Tab. Or you need to hit specific keyboard keys to do things. I was so confused when I tried building things. WASD to move, arrows to move through the menus, mouse clicks rotate the current object, and Z and C (I think) switch through variants. It really feels like they just tried mapping console controllers haphazardly to the mouse and keyboard. Maybe Fallout 4 was like that, but I've only played the VR version.

In just under 24 hours, the Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. is one of Bethesda's most widely downloaded titlesquote:"These figures are incredible," Bethesda executive Todd Howard announced during a Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. "D-Day" press conference where the often secretive developer shared candid metrics with the public. "We've got almost twice as many downloads recorded as we do registered B.E.T.A. participants. And I mean, the numbers really don't lie: This has been an unbelievably popular release day game...perhaps one of the most successful Bethesda titles in the past few years."
