***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

[FTM]

Anyone else had an email from cdkeys today stating I should have received 2 keys ?!

I had two keys yesterday when I started the preload, so I can only assume some people got them and some people didnt

Can the beta testers please refrain from spoilers for the sake of the peasants like myself who can’t play until next week.

Or at least use the spoiler tags correctly!

Not aimed at you @montymint

It's the main reason I'm staying out of the thread for at least a week after the EA launch (unless I have to for moderation). People get excited and sometimes forget to tag everything up!

 

[Tombstone]

Going to watch a few streams tonight as they start the game to see how smooth it is on various hardware.

Thats what I will be doing too, I'm not so much interested in what written reviews say, I'm much more interested in what I can see it doing , how it runs, is it stuttery, can I see issues that written reviewers might not have noticed

 

[doodah]

only really interested in the digital foundry information as they will focus more on the technical aspects

You bet they will

Should I be concerned that in my library it shows as 'coming sept 6' even though I have the premium edition, is that what everyone can see?

Also, thanks to everyone above who mentioned the additional key from CD Keys, ordered about a week ago and only had one key at the time, I would have completely missed this.

Showing the same for me, on Premium.

Amd codes are live now. Log into the portal and it links directly to stream.

You don’t get a code.

Thanks, saw mine was updated this morning so I've pre-loaded!

 

[mrk]

CD KEys have dished out codes, get preloading

Grrr, I just ordered my copy and it says "Available sept 1st" so I presume midnight :/

Unless it suddenly appears later?

 

[TNA]

Game launches at 1am tonight midnight UTC, btw.

I am aware. Just can't game at that time unfortunately

Any chance to show off you download speed eh mrk?

Well mine is 1-2 MB/s faster than yours now and with a proper ISP that offers uploads at the same speed and has excellent pings

 

[doodah]

That's the beauty of an impending game release. It's either 'look how big my di fast my internet is' or 'it's going to take X (1st world problem) hours to download '.

 

[Felon]

Hmm..

So I got my key and I've redeemed it on steam, it's giving me the option to preload but it says "unlocks in 6 days", yet it says I've got got the premium edition, so I assume it'll just work at midnight? :/

 

[Noxia]

I've sent out a group WhatsApp message that I'm not dead, I'll be in space all weekend

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I am going to guess....

9/10. Full of bugs. Typical Bethesda.

I’m hopeful that Microsoft’s bank account, plus the delay has helped reduce the number of bugs.

 

[TNA]

Staying away from all videos and written reviews. I will judge it myself

Fair enough. I will just peruse some.

To be honest you unless you are going to stay out of this thread someone will post about the reviews and scores.

I got 2 keys from CD Keys 1 for the game and 1 for the unlock I presume.

Yeah same, I redeemed both of them, so I'll see what happens..

It's currently downloading.

 

[BeeP]

Yep one is for the game and one for bonus content apparently (Future DLC or skins I assume?), I got one yesterday and one today after readying the emails sent by CDKeys.

 

[Tombstone]

Looks like most of the bigger streamers will be starting the game at 5pm this evening, so I expect Twitch and Youtube to be flooded with live streams as people get their first chance to see the game actually being played

 

[Aegis]

Holy cow - the collector's edition box is *heavy*

Very nice CE overall - the steelbook is nice and the credit chip with the game code is metal too. The smartwatch is a little gimmicky but better I think than the Pip-boy Bethesda did before. As a display piece it'll sit nicely next to my Fallout 3 lunchbox and my New Vegas CE
