If you connect the game will revert back to preload, but actually the game is now unlocked, so if you need to go online with steam and want to play the game just connect back up with the VPN restart steam and play, you can disconnect the VPN once the game is launched, the VPN can be a little slow at times..
Enjoy..
I have done about an hour and so far it's not bad. I'm not getting all the excitement that the reviewers have had so far.
I think I will try this graphics mod as the game in general looks very drab and lifeless. The graphics to me look very console there is nothing that really wows about them but they are not bad just not that great.
Hopefully it will pick up a bit later on.

Yea graphics are awful. They need to release a hi-res pack.
You can mod a lot of options like shadow resolution etc in the ini files though. I'm looking forward to someone releasing a tweak guide with all the ini settings. Both AA settings are average at best, need to look into a good injector.
Gameplay though is fantastic

This pre load on the VPN is taking AGES! Already pre downloaded the files but it's still asking me to pre load?

Unlocked with spotflux, but is it ok to play with spotflux enabled cos I want my friends etc still connected or will it slow my pc down or anything?
Launch the game, alt tab out, disconnect and then you'll be fine and game will play...
That I don't get. It doesn't pre load anything else, 5.3GB download which should be completed before VPN trick, then quit steam, VPN, open Steam, click on play, it will take around 20 mins to unpack files, setup Direct X and some other Microsoft runtimes etc, then you'll be able to play the game..
that is really all there is to it.

Cool, working I chucked steam into offline mode for now. Not that fussed about being online.
Played around with the settings, not that much PC option??? Don't know why reviewers were happy about the amount of customization. It's basic texture, brightness, rat shadows and shadow detail. And FXAA... So nothing new.
Chucked on SweetFX at default settings. About to get cosy and get stuck in!

I thought that as well... Wasn't a great deal to select in the graphics options. Reminded me of RAGE once they updated it, that had similiar graphics options.. although 'rat shadows' lol someone has a sense of humour at Arkane Studios..
SweetFX made the game look brighter, and cleaned up a few bits, looked sharper, I'll get stuck into my game later this evening once the kids are in bed and missus is busy with some junky telly or something...

Doesn't take much GPU power.
As you can see here, power usage is right down, GPU usage is right down, the core hasn't even clocked up to the normal 1200 and the voltage hasn't even stepped up to full. That is v-synced at 60fps running at 2560x1440:

no idea but its really annoying -.-
There are ways around it like VPN's and "Arr, shiver me timbers" but you'd think that developers may of learnt by now that you can infact beat the system and bypass their silly ways of realeasing games. Hey, just release them the same day - solved.

Seems very bethesda-ish. Skyrim out the box is OK looking, but the textures are horid and a few simple ini tweaks can transform the game.
It's needed very much.
