MS, please. Please MS. This is why you release it earlier/in the morning. -_-

 

[Mechazawa]

crashes on start up

Same here.

GJ Microsoft. GJ everyone.

Oh man I wanna try this game! Should I get it on W10 or Xbox?

 

[LFMartins86]

Oh man I wanna try this game! Should I get it on W10 or Xbox?

What's stopping you of getting it on both?

 

[KageMaru]

Oh man I wanna try this game! Should I get it on W10 or Xbox?

Why not get it on both?

 

[blue_phazon]

Oh man I wanna try this game! Should I get it on W10 or Xbox?

It's Play Anywhere, so regardless, you get both lol

 

[NeonBlack]

Does the windows store have a bandwidth limiter yet?

 

[Ushay]

I hope this is successful enough to warrant a sequel.

That will depend on how well word of mouth spreads. It sure as shit won't get any marketing.

 

[theultimo]

Same here.

GJ Microsoft. GJ everyone.

same.

 

[FyreWulff]

downloaded and launched.

There's only two resolution options: "Original" (scaled 480p) or "Best" (whatever you set the window to be, basically)

edit: there's 3 crossplay options

Yes (default)

No (strict) - only play with PC players that also are set to No Crossplay


No (standard) - only match into same platform but if the host allows crossplay, other platform will be able to join


edit: amusingly, the Live menu is pretty much unchanged from the original, including the long-retired "optimatch" terminology heh

It lives!!

 

[wwm0nkey]

Any way to make this full screen on Win10?

 

[SenkiDala]

Ahah, starting to understand why it's free.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Ahah, starting to understand why it's free.

...?

 

[f@luS]

How to install the multiplayer pack ????

Bought it on the Microsoft website but can't find in store or in the game profile on the Xbox one ☝️

 

[ascully]

Alt and enter

 

[Strootman]

So my download shows up like this.

I'm a bit worried it's not going to work when ready.

 

[SenkiDala]

...?

Crashes for everyone on XO, on PC 2 resolutions available "480" or "best" I mean, come on.

If it's anything like the Halo Wars season pass, there's no need to install, it's tied to your account.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Ahah, starting to understand why it's free.

Sure the cutscenes are 480p but that's something I don't think they could fix. The game itself looks like an early 360 game. Pretty sharp

 

[LukasTaves]

See this is the crap that's frustrating with the Windows 10 store. I'm getting around 50-55Mbs on my Xbox but only around 10Mbs on the Windows 10 store. Why is it so much slower on my PC? Both are hooked up with a cabled connection to the modem.

The windows store is facing some issues currently.

But you are trying to download both at the same time?

 

[SenkiDala]

I hope I'll be able to launch it on XO then. ^^

 

[Mechanized]

Dafuck I'm downloading this at like 24Mbps, normally my download maxes out at 3Mb/s, even on speed tests.

 

[barneystuta83]

I am hopeful it will work given it's age. On the lower settings of course.

I'll post how I get on shortly.

Here you go - I compare the highest settings (only 3 options) with the lowest settings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyWCJqiTvZY&feature=youtu.be

Highest - very low FPS, feels like 15-20 and an N64 game.
Lowest - very stable, feels like 30+ easy

If anyone has a good/free easy way to check FPS in Windows Games, let me know.

 

[KageMaru]

Yeah started the Windows version a few minutes before the Xbox version.

 

[QisTopTier]

Downloading now!

 

[Gearless]

I'm a UK resident and can confirm that you have to search for the game to download it from the Windows Store.

...?

I don't know either, I'll have to start the game up before I can give my judgement on it.

 

[FyreWulff]

annnnnnd tornado siren just went off :V

PLAYING THIS LATER

 

[Seik]

Dooooooooooownloading!

 

[Salty Hippo]

Still nothing here, all I see is a song from some DJ. Do you need the Creator's Update for this?

 

[Kaydan]

It's Play Anywhere, so regardless, you get both lol

I get it, but I was mostly talking initially if I should choose PC or Xbox.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Crashes for everyone on XO, on PC 2 resolutions available "480" or "best" I mean, come on.

Ahhhh gotcha. Well it's like hour one of launch, hopefully it's just launch pains and it will be fine soon. I wouldn't write it off yet

If you search Phantom Dust in the store does it bring up the multiplayer starter pack? If so, click on it and then under "works with" you can go to the Phantom Dust page and download the game.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

It works fine for me. Spooky intro!

Graphics look reasonable too on my 4K TV. Xbox is back!

(You can still buy from a foreign store though)

 

[ScientificPizza]

is it 10gb on PC as well?

This came up like an hour after I left for work I wish it were earlier

That's the same exact speed, just different units.

 

[Phreaker]

oops, nm.

Buying school packs

 

[Papacheeks]

That's how I got it to work as well. Downloading as we speak.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Just got the "Have I done this before?" Achievement

Why yes, I have.

Is that the 30 min one? Did you just smash X to go through the tutorials? Because I honestly can't remember chapter 1->2 at all.

 

[SenkiDala]

Ahhhh gotcha. Well it's like hour one of launch, hopefully it's just launch pains and it will be fine soon. I wouldn't write it off yet

Yeah, I agree. It's just that I've been waiting to play this game since a long time (even if it wasn't free), so I'm a bit excited! And it's 1.25am here, I'm still downloading and I'd like to be able to try it even just 20 minutes before going to bed.

 

[Sinatar]

Well since it's a UWP I couldn't do much about the jaggies, I was able to inject FXAA though the nvidia drivers but that's about it.

 

[Hexer06]

Mine's been stuck at 0% for a good solid 10 minutes now. I sure hope my Alpha Preview doesn't get in the way of downloading this. :/

Edit: Okay, it's starting to make progress. 500Mb after about 15 mins... I'm never gonna get to play tonight ;(.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Is that the 30 min one? Did you just smash X to go through the tutorials? Because I honestly can't remember chapter 1->2 at all.

Yeah it is, it seems like its measured by time spent above ground in the arena rather than including running around the underground city, but I'm not sure so I just mashed through everything just in case.

Newcomers will mainly have an issue

Spoiler

since they wont know which people to immediately seek out in order to get to the Test/Freia Boss.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Yup Phantom Dust is still very very fun. Online seems a bit wonky but played a few matches just fine
