Yes. I tried Tunnel bear which did in fact change my ip address to Japan, and looking at their local time it's already may 5th. I changed my password and stopped Steam before logging in. Very strange.
Excellent, here's to hoping they get on it soon.

Nope, I'm having audio issues and I'm just living in Australia, no VPN required.

Ok, steam started acting weird and redownloading the game with 17.4GB out 17.4GB. High CPU usage too. WTF is going on? lol I guess the VPN was too much.

any ultrawide support?
It's unpacking.

21:9 sems to work fine.
That's Steam using your processor to decrypt the files, probably. It happened to me too, and I just restarted Steam without my VPN and let it finish up before I decrypted again with VPN.
I suspect this might be why I have voices, and others not.

So it worked and also didn't work? Because it never gave the option to play the game despite using the VPN.
You have to wait until it's done and then you can play.

I've verified integrity and it did nothing. I even also deleted the specific english audio files which it failed to load according to the log, and redownloaded those, and still nothing.
That being said, the files it fails to load, English_anim.pak and English_xml.pak are only 19.6mb and 900kb respectively, so I doubt the audio is all in there...
I honestly believe they have forgotten to put the audio in somehow.

Yeah 18GB doesn't seem right.

$36 deal is still up on CD Keys, waiting to see if people get this voice stuff figured out and if the performance stays good I'll probably get it.

Can anyone who does have audio working please check 2 things in the game files?
1) What size is the game overall
2) What Files are in Prey/Localization folder, and what sizes are they?
Here's what's in my folder with no in-game audio working for reference
And the total size of the game is 17.5gb

18684mb is what I have, and I have no audio issues. AFAIK the Steam version only comes with your default language, hence why it's a smaller download than on consoles.

Update: It appears to be the latest NVIDIA driver (382.05) which is causing the stuttering. Rolling back to 381.89 removes nearly all of it.
Reducing texture quality to medium almost eliminates the stuttering.
It's absolutely nothing like the terrible stuttering in Dishonored 2 which was constant and very intrusive. (and did not show up in frame-time graphs)
Dishonored 2's stuttering issues were more like frame-pacing problems, while this is a single drop - presumably as it's loading in assets or something.
This shouldn't be happening on my system though: the game is installed on a Samsung Evo 960 NVME SSD.
Rest of the spec is an R7-1700X running at 3.9GHz, 16GB RAM at 3600MT/s, GTX 1070 Strix OC.
It's an option in the latest RTSS beta. (may also require the latest MSI Afterburner beta)

Yeah, even the pre-order store sub was missing 11 data depots for a while. I PM'd gstaff about it in the wee hours of this morning and they were added just in the nick of time.
Edit: The language depots have been added to the remaining subs.

wow, english.pak is completely missing from my folder...
And verifying integrity doesn't add it back in. They literally forgot to put the voice files in some versions of the game. smh

Wait. Where's English.pak in the second one?
More importantly, why would these downloads be different???

BTW, if anyone wants to try out some user.cfg stuff I would be greatful. Perhaps it could help with aliasing and such.
Try this. Make a "user.cfg" file and drop it in the game root directory (so next to system.cfg in the Steam/Prey folder. It should be on the same stem/tree level as the Bin64 folder).
In that user.cfg have the following:
And then make sure the in game setting for antialising is SMAA2Tx before you make this config. I wonder if these will work like in other CE games.

Update queued, they got the voice files active. Had to restart steam to see it.

Did that. The game is now downloading a 700mb 'patch'. Let's hope those are the missing sound files.
Freedome isn't the fastest, but I won't complain. It's free.

Yeah, I get no dialog either. I also noticed that the mechanic never moves her mouth either. It's weird that they uploaded an incomplete file.

*in my best Vinny Caravella voice* Making video games is hard.
E: Also, to be fair, it isn't technically "out" yet
Same here. Weird stuff...
I noticed none on a 3570k @4.6hz, gtx 1080 also on a 960 SSD.
V true, notwithstanding the weird lighting issues Mifec (and one other) was having with certain post-proc effects on

Excellent! Doing gods work. Although, that 700mb should fix it.
It's just if I switch it and go back to the game, if I restart the game they work fine even on full res.
What filesize does Steam report?
