As expected. The person who was banned was a modder who posted videos of gameplay up and ended up just getting sniped by ms rep likely. Theres no other evidence of anyone else getting banned

 

[PSFore]

They should at least admit it was their fault or the publisher's. The leaked build was taken directly from Steam.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Guy, girl, ...?

Robot, last game you could have robotic arms and legs.6 will be the full package!

 

[pudel]

Whatever you do, don't got play the crack.

At least dont connect to any MS account/server....if thats possible.

 

[RavenSan]

I feel no sympathy for anyone who grabs this and then tries to play online.

Play stupid games, and win stupid prizes.

 

[LordCBH]

Xbox could do something really cool here and release the game early.

Could.

They won't, unfortunately.

 

[Solrac]

So someone from the recent layoff uploaded the game without encoding the data...

 

[nikos]

EDIT: Repost.

 

[winjer]

Someone has already benchmarked the game.
3840×2160 with the Extreme preset, ray-traced reflections set to High and ray-traced global illumination set to High. The user claims FSR 4.1 was enabled in Balanced mode, without frame generation.
The result shows 63 FPS, 2 stutters, 72.9% GPU-limited performance and 37.6ms average latency. The benchmark readout shows 10.63GB of video memory used from a 13.32GB budget.
It's using the 26.3.1 drivers from 2 months ago.

 

[Seomel]

Them not admitting its their fuck up build wss readily available at steam depot is diabolical. They also should have just made it nice for early access players and released game now. What a fucking joke and now they treaten to hw ban people who they might find accessing it

100% they should just full launch but probably have streamers paid to play at launch

What were they thinking?!

Dm Aisha, she seems eager to please fans

Damn, big brain move. Very likely, since theres already some random youtubers dropping small videos here and there.
Real shame because it just ends up paying users waiting out again

 

[TrebleShot]

lol
Glad I didn't end up sailing the 7 for this one and course corrected.


Was a close one , had it lined up on a torrent client twice and noped out.

Nothing gonna happen, if you just sit and play without posting anywhere, youll see.

Microsoft did this in the past with PGR2. Someone call Phil...and ask for Asha's #

Next week we party like it's 9999!

 

[Mercador]

They probably have some crazy automated AI setup for building and releasing... But forgot to add "and make sure you encrypt the files before uploading" to one of their prompts.

Exactly what I thought; they decided to vibe code their delivery pipeline. I cannot fathom how they could do such a newbie mistake.

It's actually not their fuckup. It was most likely a reviewer. "Uploading it unencrypted " turned out to be fake news based on what I've read. That's not how Steam works:

Steam encrypts content on upload, the developer does not encrypt it themselves before submission. For fully released games, the content is decrypted as it downloads onto the player's PC. For preload games, the content is downloaded encrypted then decrypted on the release date.

The decryption keys were leaked and those were used to decrypt the preload locally, allowing pirates to upload the unencrypted files for others.

As far as I know, where the keys leaked from is currently unknown.

 

[NickFire]

I think it's wild this stuff can still happen before release.

 

[adamsapple]

Plot twist, the game was leaked via an influencer or reviewer

 

[Seomel]

It still doesnt make sense how reviewer/someone else could leak build that has no protection, conveniently missing out their steam dlss and apis to get it running.
You would think devs would have regular build available to share early that has all drms in place, just because of something like this.

 

[Windle Poons]

4/10 from IGN.

 

[Spukc]

Funny part the pirated version is prolly the best if you just want to play it without the online clown shit.

Reminds me i wanted to play my legal copy of forza horizon 5 years ago on a boat with no online.
And MS deciding i suddenly didn't own it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Group pirates game

Incorrect rumour circulates

Section of gaf blames the publisher or developer.

Classic gaf.

Really sad to see.

 

[The Cockatrice]

poor indies: "sure go ahead pirate our game, as long as you support it ^^"
multi-billion company: "im going to sue you and kill you!"

 

[BigLee74]

'Oh no, they need to release it now'.

Erm, no they don't.

 

[Bojji]

Stop giving shit to influencers
Stop "pay to play x days early" bullshit.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Why would anyone change their release plans or anything for pirates.

As soon as you do that, they've won.

i was expecting more fps there from the 9070xt , fsr balanced at 4k is rendering at less than 1440p isnt it?

another user with a rtx 4070 8gb laptop , custom preset

 

[Seomel]

Surprise

Having cars at Ultra, shadows at Extreme and environment at medium is definitely a choice. Dont think that fella has any idea what hes doing.
Ill see next week how my laptop with 5070 and rizen ai 350 fares. I still havent gamed on it much, but dlss and fg should help a lot

 

[ChoosableOne]

I hope the same thing happens to every game that charges extra just to let you play early. I don't feel sorry at all.

my guess would be the RTGI set at extreme , thats tanking the fps

But that one is using Medium settings for several things. And lower resolution.

 

[Seomel]

100%, but shadows at extreme are useless too. Especially if you already have rtgi

 

[adamsapple]

Man's streaming a pirated game 10 days before release.

What did he think was gonna happen?

 

[Kamina]

I just watched a video on YouTube and it got copyright struck while i was watching

Seriously though, MS should just release the game to minimize the impact of the leak.

 

[Gitaroo]

benchmark looks promising, I installed FH3 just to mess around, my 4080 runs it at 100fps+ at 4K max setting. Which was a Xbox one game, you can see how much under the hood upgrade they have made to the engine.

 

[ABrokenToy]

Seeing some videos of FH6 maxed out on PC with RT and RTGI and man...... FH5 just looks better. I don't know. Maybe I just prefer the setting.

Can you not post the videos?

 

[pudel]

Yeah, easy opportunity to farm aura and making this leak completely irrelevant. But they prefer to ban the people who eagerly wants to play their game. Doesnt seem to be the smartest way of handling the situation.

 

[ABrokenToy]

Can you not post the videos?

 

[Astray]

I thought piracy didn't hurt sales?

Complete myth imo.

If it didn't no one would have paid Denuvo a single penny.

 

[cormack12]

Is this bro's first game ever?

What's that overlay in the top left though? I like that

that overlay is not part of the game. He's using some tool to show performance.

 

[Edgelord79]

but this equivalent to bashing a girl in a mini skirt for getting raped

Wtf lol.

 

[pudel]

Rivatuner/RTSS small tool for monitoring ingame performance/benchmarking. I usually only use them in case of serious problems. Otherwise its too distracting.

 

[Edgelord79]

This is like leaving $100 bill on the path in the park and expecting nobody to take it.

 

[ABrokenToy]

All the character creation faces look like faces I've seen while on shrooms. So weird looking.
