So did I miss a GMG discount? It looks like I can get a copy from best buy with a 20% discount but would prefer to get it digitally.

GREENM-ANGAME-25PJAN 25% off XCOM 2

 

[Frosty Droid]

I pre-ordered the physical PC copy from Amazon and it hasn't shipped yet.

 

[slash3584]

No matter what I do I keep getting pre-loading complete;unreleased

I'm using VyprVpn and this is what I'm doing:

Exit Steam
Turn on the VPN with Melbourne as location.
Enter Steam.

Any tips?

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

No sleep for me tonight, eh? Can't wait for the game to unlock!

 

[Sblargh]

Unpacking almost complete.
If I disappear, assume my commander decided to take the risk and made me run through overwatch.

 

[Khoryos]

Why must unpacking take so long ;_;

 

[Poodlestrike]

Everybody else is unpacking, and I'm still in class.

And it's gonna take so many hours to download...

 

[B00TE]

We in there.

 

[ViviOggi]

Wait how do you activate Ironman? Did I miss it or do they ask you later?

Awesome!! Hope it's still good by the time I get home in a few hours.

I had that problem with fallout 4. if I recall I just kept retrying (and also rebooted after installing vypr)

Glad I have a good line. I actually just deleted my preload to reinstall it to my SSD (rather than SteamMove it, not sure if that would affect the unpacking time). Looks to be ~ 1 hours

 

[B00TE]

Game was running pretty poorly at Max settings, turned it to high and borderless windowed and back to 60 FPS. (At the main menu/character screen anyway)

Still making characters, this may become a problem.

Wait is there no IM?

 

[Moss]

I used to be able to unlock with flyvpn, but sadly this has stopped working for some reason. I guess I will wait until the morning.

 

[Roshin]

There are a couple of mods up already by Long War Studios.

 

[therealminime]

Yay 21:9 support right out of the box, always nice.

FlyVPN gave me nothing but trouble today, ended up using https://www.goldenfrog.com/vyprvpn which worked really well.

Is this true to life or did you fantasize the hell out of him?

I always get a kick of trying to recreate my friends, family, and coworkers. Obviously in Xcom 1 the options were limited, but I'm looking forward to cutting loose here. Can you make overweight soldiers? lol

 

[MrCompletely]

But on steam, return the package to Amazon

GREENM-ANGAME-25PJAN 25% off XCOM 2

Comes up as not valid. Looks like it expired?

 

[Decado]

Anyone receive keys from instant gaming? Considering picking it up from there.

 

[RandomSeed]

I wasn't going to play with ironman on, but I didn't see the option either.

 

[Tworak]

there is. you choose it after you choose difficulty. there might not be ironman for easy or whatever, but I enabled it on commander difficulty.

This doesn't seem to be valid anymore?

 

[ViviOggi]

So apparently you can only go Ironman when you disable the tutorial, I guess otherwise it'll ask again once you've finished it

 

[Tecnniqe]

Really? I used it today, and its still on the frontpage for me.

Edit: 25min ago the posted GREENM-ANGAME-25PJAN code saying to use it to discount Tomb Raider so code should still work. Try removing the last letter and type it again. Im not sure why it wont work unless they removed it from XCOM recently. 20% code on mainpage should still work regardless.

This was based off a character from a friends recent campaign in EU that he made for me. Remaking a few of them now, so many goofy fun backstories to be had and I'm happy there's actually a place for them now. Don't think you can adjust weight, but some of the initial armor can make you look a little bit bigger, but not by much.

None of the discounts on this page work either anymore. Although it says they should be valid until the game is no longer in "pre-order" status.

Hm, I think it's not valid in NA maybe. The 23% deluxe one works.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I'll wait for gamepad support unless I see it real cheap somewhere or if someone can mod it in. I don't like the steam controller.

 

[Psychoward]

Is the tutorial like EU where it actually gimps you if you do it meaning it's best to play it the exit and start a new game without it enabled?

 

[Tecnniqe]

Perhaps its since the game released in Asia? idk, you could try reach out to them, they might hook you up with a code that works.

Never had that issue.

20% and 23% off the DD should work regardless.

 

[Spirited]

Just finished unpacking it. Time to roll out.

 

[UnrealEck]

People are saying the max resolution is 1080p. Is that the case? Have they fucked up that bad?

 

[Papilloma]

People are saying the max resolution is 1080p. Is that the case? Have they fucked up that bad?

Nope, mine running at 1440p

 

[Mutagenic]

Finally received my keys. Luckily it only takes 40mins to download.

 

[Seth]

for the 2 people who might have wondered.. the codes from cdkeys seem to be fine for mac users. i was able to use the code and download the game, it didn't warn me that it wasn't compatible or anything. so i guess its fine.

 

[mrjohill]

anyone have any suggestions for fairly cheap gaming laptops to run this?

 

[Kane Zakharov]

People are saying the max resolution is 1080p. Is that the case? Have they fucked up that bad?

I have custom resolutions up to 4k via the nvidia control panel. The game is only showing up to 1080p. So, maybe.

Also, the game runs poorly as was mentioned before release. Definitely needs to be improved on that front.

 

[Orgun]

Man, im surprised at how demanding this is - guess it may finally be time to retire the old 770.

No, higher resolutions definitely available.

 

[Zeliard]

Same. Doesn't seem like DSR is supported right now but it definitely doesn't cap at 1080p natively.

 

[Stiler]

Wait waht? How are you guys unpacking? It still shows 9 hours left for me.

edit - vpn I assume?

The unpacking begins. How long did it take for you guys?

Took about 25 mins for me.....

For custom resolutions:
Quiet the game, set you windows resolution to whatever you want the ingame resolution to be. Restart the game and set screen mode to fullscreen.

At least this worked for me.

 

[Switzer]

Ninety-Five Canadian Funbucks for the deluxe edition, goddammit why must our dollar suck so bad.

Nonetheless I'm hyped AF.

 

[Moff]

Nope, mine running at 1440p

that's odd, I can't choose anything higher than 1080p
1440 is my native resolution

edit: it worked after simply restarting the game
I had the same issue with tomb raider btw.
on the first startup none of the 1080+ resolutions were available
