Vodos posted:What are the chances that decrypting a 45 gig preload is gonna take longer than just downloading it once it's unlocked? Oh totally. One of the perverse downsides of downloading 17 mb/s is that it almost always takes longer to decrypt the game than it does to download it! This is textbook firstworldproblems though. Coolguye posted:Post 'em? I've been stupid busy the last couple of weeks so I basically didn't see the last dozen pages of the last thread. Besides the Long War Thin Man.gif I hope that there is footage of xcom blowing up buildings and collaborators. On the other hand people should download gooncam and record their own gifs.

Koskinator posted:Can Iron Rose's easier LW mods be installed on an existing campaign or would I have to restart? I'm using a release version of LW. They're all tested and compatible for LW's final release, and can be installed anytime you like. Both the patcherGUI mods and the easier long war DCG. Doesn't have to be before or after a campaign, though changes will of course not be retroactive. Fortunately most of the changes don't need to be retroactive, the only big thing I did that won't transfer is I increased the minimum mobility a soldier could have by 1, but that triggers on recruitment so only new soldiers will benefit.

Josef bugman posted:So I have a rather old laptop. I mean its okay and it runs Xcom just dandy apart from the cutscenes (for no adequately explicable reason), do you think it'll be okay for X com 2? define "old laptop" Because I wouldn't want to run EW on anything less than Haswell integrated graphics. Xcom 2 will probably want a discrete card unless you're willing to turn down the resolution to like 720p.

Sharzak posted:How come people are so hyped for this? Is it purely based off of the last one? I liked the last one, only finished it once though. People are acting like this is going to be earth-shattering. They're releasing the script source. Do you have any idea how excited I am to no longer have to translate UE3 tokens. Because I am ridiculously excited to no longer have to translate UE3 tokens through trial and error because that was a gigantic pain in the rear end. also the game looks fun too. also JohnnyLump is a hilariously terrible public speaker.

Josef bugman posted:I am getting x-com as a birthday present for my little brother anyway as we both have steam, so it should be fine anyway. But as in "unpleasent" do you mean "crappy graphics" or "everything is terrible forever". The problem is that the minimum specs required is a GTX 460 GPU. That's around 11x faster than the Intel HD 2000 that's in your laptop. So it's not really crappy graphics more than I'm just not sure it'll run at over five-ten frames per second. I really doubt it will be playable. Heck EW is barely playable on integrated graphics and Xcom 2 will be much more demanding. That being said, y'know, there's no reason not to buy the game, try it out, and get a refund if your gameplay experience isn't acceptable. Still I'd want to save up for a new computer if you're interested in PC games. You want a computer with a dedicated graphics card - for a laptop the GTX 960m is about the lowest I'd go on that front, and that comes in a couple laptops around the $850-$900 dollar mark. It meets the minimum requirements to run Xcom 2, but doesn't meet the recommended requirements. Better is if you can get a laptop with a 970m, which is roughly equivalent to a desktop GTX 960, which is itself roughly equivalent to the GTX 770 that is the recommended GPU for Xcom 2. a laptop with a 970m will run you around $1500. Alternatively you can build a desktop with a 960 or a desktop 970 (roughly 60% more powerful than the desktop 960) for around $1000-1100 USD. Tl;dr this game is likely not playable on any integrated graphics card, but you can find a laptop that will play it for around $900 or so.

heckyeahpathy posted:Counterpoint: I have a Dell XPS 13 with integrated graphics that runs EW like a dream and can chug along pretty reliably on less intensive current games. I'm still a little worried, but XCOM 2 has the same base engine as EW, so... we'll see on Friday, I guess. The XPS 13 is a bit of an exception to the rule since iirc it has iris HD 520/530 graphics, which are significantly more powerful than most forms of integrated graphics. Torrannor posted:So if we could run XCOM EU/EW fine, we will be okay for XCOM 2? Nobody really knows! It all depends, with dynamic lighting, increased poly count and the destructible terrain it'll definitely prove more taxing, but ultimately we'll see on Friday.

a cow posted:I guess I'm getting a little annoyed at "I'm not pirating but I'm happy to buy it for half-price at release from anywhere" With the Canadian dollar so low... Seriously, I'm saving a solid additional 40% if I purchase helldivers, and that's the case with most games without regional pricing! XCOM has semidecent regional pricing mind you, but if I purchased off steam I'd still be saving around 10% or so compared to if I were paying USD. Ended up being cheaper to use that 27% GMG coupon, but still.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Apparently (lore spoilers) Vipers are the original form of Thin Men. I am glad that we finally have a game that shows its support by having Trans snake characters I sexually identify as a XFS-105 Raven Interceptor. I have finally found the strength to admit it. I was 12 years old when I realized that I’m not really a man at heart, but rather a 19 foot, 10.5 inch long gatling gun strapped onto a 24,959 pound airframe. All my life has been a lie but I’m setting that right today. I was designed to kill Alien Supply Barges. From now on, call me “Raven-1.” That’s my real name. I’m having plastic surgeons attach a Phoenix 30 milimeter rotary Cannon, 1,200 pounds of titanium armor, and two TF34-GE-100 Elerium Afterburners to my body. Central Officer Bradford said I’m loving stupid and I can’t be a jet, but I’m beautiful and I am a goddamn jet. If XCOM won’t pay for me to get the surgery, I’m just going to bring in Code Pink and point out that that Manning loser is getting hormones and he’s in a gene clinic so why shouldn’t a perfectly well-adjusted and honorably serving soldier have the right to be who they truly are, a metal killing machine? I am so sick and tired of being oppressed. Now we Ravens are on the Council's chopping block. It’s sickening to see all the white cisgender nazi shitlords literally raping my people with their actions. It’s my right to spray 2,100 to 4,200 depleted uranium rounds per minute at both soft and hard targets and if you don’t support me and my transformation then you’re an aerialphobe and need to check your weapon platform privilege.

I'm happy to do that if people send their characters to me at ironroseSA@gmail.com though I believe someone else said they would be down to do so as well.

FPS is pretty shakey, but I have it around 30FPS on low-medium settings at 1080p. I have a 960m too, which is around the equivalent of a 750ti. So yeah this game is murder on GPUs. I wouldn't want to be playing on anything less than what I have. Excited to play it on my 970 on my desktop though!

man all y'all are wimps timed missions are fabulous. it means you actually have to dash the first few turns so you're not screwed. But yeah I'm playing basically ironman on commander and I haven't been screwed over by the timed missions yet. Never had it come down to under two turns so far  then again maybe I just lucked out on the randomized maps
