I didn't get an email to say it was ready etc. I just checked the link on the email and my key was there.

Same here.

Does it look better than...

From what I have seen so far, it does not. Quite poor to say it was released 11 years later

Just pressed Save twice Swede, and yes it does save after you exit the menu. Although it sounds like it doesn't.

Just found a Flamethrower in a truck, my goodness this is fun.

No worries

Anything else? I can confirm that hay bales set on fire. That's my GOTY right there lol.

sneaking up on a group, a skunk charged at me, sprayed me then ran off - position blown = dead.

Awesome stuff!

Nice ! I seen a barn burn down on the streaming. Also, just so you know, there is snake's around to and you can get bitten, and bee's that stings you, even kills you if you get over swarmed by them !

Just got stung by bees in this little outpost place. Couldn't escape them, that'll teach me not to shoot the hive.

It's not bill gates stuff, you just connect to a VPN then open Steam. I used to use a free one called FlyVPN (not sure if still free)

Oh no! This is a deal-breaker for me. If there is not at least an option to turn off the dumbed-down HUD, then I cannot buy this game.

How hard is it to put a setting in the options to turn off the immersion-killing eyesores? Why make a beautiful gameworld and then ruin it with bright red cartoon figures all over the screen because one of your playtesters was a moron? Why treat all of your customers like children? It’s 2018, there MUST be an option to turn off the kiddy console onscreen monstrosities? No excuse for a game with this sort of budget.

You can customize the HUD completely to your liking. It's been this way for Far Cry for a while now.

And what on earth are you ranting about anyways? This game has even gotten rid of the minimap. It's exactly what you're looking for, FFS!

Also, HUD elements have nothing to do with console players. :/ Like, what?

Now unlocked properly for UK go go go those that haven't used VPN
