AMD rewards one is available

Can confirm I've now been able to activate on the AMD rewards site and Preload on Ubisoft site.

Redeemed on AMD rewards and pre downloading it now. Looking for a new game to sink some hours into so hope this turns out good.

Might re-sub to U+ for this.. £12.99 so should finish in a month.

I am assuming you can only preload if you buy direct from Ubi or Epic rather than through AMD rewards?

No, I got my AMD rewards code back in Jan, and I'm pre loading 34.61GB as I type, coming down at ~350Mb/s so should take around 20mins according to its status window.

So I got a code that was bundled with Samsung SSD, activated it, and the game is still not visible in uplay.
Gonna appear only at launch?

Did you add the HD texture pack "DLC"?
11GB Vram seemed quite greedy!

I added the HD Texture pack and I'm downloading it now, so instead of the initial ~34GB it has already downloaded for the pre-load it is downloading an additional ~39GB making ~73GB in total.

Preloading on Ubisoft+ now, hd texture pack added too I see. £12.99 to play it for a month before I either complete it or get bored like with FC5... Worth it for that price as can cancel the sub then too lol.

Renewed my subscription for Ubisoft+. All preloaded and ready to give Chorizo all the pets.

@Paul_cz Mine shows up fine when searching for it in the store.

I just noticed that. I’ve had it preloading this evening, saw the download had finished at 35Gb. Went to switch it off and spotted the HD texture pack. Now downloading another 38Gb.

Just glad it’s doing it now or I’d have been most put out when trying to launch the game at release.

Installing after a bit of a faff with AMD Rewards as usual.

Kronos · 6 Oct 2021 at 10:59

Game downloaded without issue but the texture pack is taking forever.

Digital X · 6 Oct 2021 at 11:10

My download had a bit of a hitch to start, but the game and HD textures was smooth. 1 hour to go for us New Zealanders lol.

Someone ought to look into the science behind why so many people fly to New Zealand at around the same time as a game release

AMD rewards claimed here okay.

Don't expect your downloads to be fast the next 24-48hrs there servers are going to get killed.

Josh · 6 Oct 2021 at 12:35

Pre-load done, I'm not visually taken with the game and only enjoyed some parts of 4&5 but I'm that starved for games at the moment I'll give it a go.

Been in my account since getting my 5800x way back in Jan so be rude not to.

VincentHanna · 6 Oct 2021 at 13:28

AMD Rewards claimed on Uplay and downloading now.

So when does this unlock?

Digital X · 6 Oct 2021 at 13:30

If you use a VPN to NZ, now apparently.

I'm in on a VPN, good amount of accessiblity options. Frame rate seems good right off the bat.

Do you have the HD pack installed?
