Short compilation I made this morning, really impressed that all these awesome things happened in about 45 minutes playtime.

Loving the game so far.

Didn't realise it was out a few days early? Anyway downloading now.. going to be quite a while at this speed though. If I had known I would have started it this morning

 

[davedudes]

[Wedge]

[Mark A]

Grrr, its been scanning for steam game updates for 20 mins.

Jumped into a couple of online campaigns on expert and !!! its a lot tougher than the demo, maybe it was the map, but I had to get my mouse out.

Good fun, i probably need to do some single player to find out the nooks and crannies though.

This is massive fail! Having the same issues as many others - crash out of game about a minute in without any warning. Tried validating files and didnt work. Tried re installing the local content to no avail!

£26 paid and I cant get the bloody thing to work! Been trying since this morning. Anyone found a work around?

@supergt:

In order of efficacy:

1) check you've got the most up to date graphics drivers.
2) validate the game cache (properties->local files->verify), keep validating until it comes back with no errors.
3) Run Steam as Administrator (works for a few)
4) launch with "-lv". This will disable all the gore, but supposedly stops the problem.

I did 1 and 2, now reinstalling as my validation ALWAYS came back as broken.

@Mark A:

Supposedly this is normal, it's decrypting all the files. Leave it for another while and it should come back. Your HD should be thrashing in the meantime, if it isn't, try restarting Steam.

Let me know if that works - I've read that there isnt a fix atm which sucks

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

Yay, fully loaded!

 

[NeoReloaded]

A week till i can get it Probably hardly any one playing by then!

 

[Antar Bolaeisk]

Not if the first one is any indication. People were still regularly playing that right up until yesterday.

LOVE the chainsaw Just took on a horde by myself and came out unscathed (on Advanced).. nice

 

[fross]

I've reinstalled from scratch, and the game still crashes... time to try the -lv patch...

Haha it's amazing. Nothing like a horde running at you down a narrow corridor as you just run through them, slicing them to bits
