X-Com 2 - Announced

[Daftbrown]

Just had a go killing Sectoids in the old game maxed out @2160p.

This is what I got running the cards @stock

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
275008, 1444313, 33, 259, 190.407

I hope SLI and C/F works as well in the new game.

Haha. The first time I see you post outside of the Graphics Cards forum and you give us this

(So do I (C/F)!)

Having watched TotalBiscuits review, he seems to suggest the FPS can drop heavily at times. Not the biggest of issues in these types of game thankfully, but hopefully its not too bad.

I just wonder how 3440 x 1440 resolution will work!

 

[Panos]

Mentioned I was really looking forward to this game to the Mrs's a couple of weeks ago, now I'm getting it for my Birthday... In April.

If she bought it already ask her to give it now or go buy it today.
When she wants to spend money, does she accept the same excuse? Doubt it.

And tell her that anything can happen in two months.

No point posting in the Graphics cards forum at the moment,

They are too busy arguing points of order about Pascal and Polaris which no one knows anything about anyway.

When I start playing XCOM 2 I think I will be too busy to post in any of the forums.

[Kaapstad]

Anyone know when it will be available to play on steam ?

Countdown timer suggests the early hours of Friday morning. 6AM it seems.

On the same page however they have this under the pre-load section:

Thanks.

just got my key from cdkeys

Still not got mine

On another note, not sure this has been posted, but looks like the team behind the Long War mod are already planning to release 3 small mods in time for the release. Small but the start of many I expect: https://xcom.com/news/en-long-war-studios-preparing-three-xcom-2-mods-for-launch

 

[scritchyrat]

Got my CDKeys codes now for this (one is for the resistance warriors dlc).

Woo!

 

[Plunk13]

Yep, got mine too. Preloading now, and I've got Tombraider to keep me busy in the meantime. Yay

 

[frontier]

I just read about this guys --> dragonpunk.org (DragonWare Studio) they want to make co op mod for XCOM 2.

 

[Sleepery]

Preloading! Steam says I have over 900 hours on the last one, I'm a wee bit shocked

 

[rwm24]

I still haven't got my key. My first and last time pre-ordering from Kinguin.

I'm going to cancel my pre-order of The Divison and use another site. I don't trust Kinguin (seller was g2play .net) to deliver the key on time.

 

[zophiel]

Just got my codes from cdkeys preloading now.

So, hands up whomever is going to suddenly become Australian at 5.59 today?

you put that silly idea into my head and I did it :] 98% - downloading, ready to lunch in approx 22minutes...my vpn is a bt slow, but it works ;]

 

[tang0]

How likely is it that you could get your steam account banned if you use a proxy/vpn ?

 

[Jonny2284]

Fairly unlikely.

Anytime there's a thread on other forums about VPN unlocking someone usually pipes up with the "my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate got banned for doing it" stuff and when asked to put up or shut up totally vanish and I've yet to see a legitimate case of a banning for VPN unlocking (using a VPN to bypass region restrictions or to buy at another stores price point is a different matter) but it is still technically against their TOS so at your own risk of course.

 

[VincentHanna]

Just don't use VPN to actually buy anything on steam.
