Downloaded a chunk more this morning then had to turn the PC off to go to work. Anyone know if the intro screen with the planes is real-time because that looked fairly smooth.

Why didn't you just leave it on whilst you went to work?

It selects your desktop resolution, which is an interesting choice. There's no way my 1080 is doing high at 4k (I dropped it to high at 1440p, 80% scale and was mostly above 40fps, except for occasional drop outs or places with lots of buildings to stream in).

 

So I went in to check the settings and they were a mixture of low and medium. My first flight was new york though. I've just done some of the training missions in bumfuck nowhere and was getting 100+

What resolution?

1440p with everything jacked. I can bring some things down a bit. I just went with the recommended settings from the games first load. 

Oooof 30fps on a 1080ti and 9900k. 

Updated drivers for this got released by Nvidia today. 

I didn't get access to the Alpha, however I did play it on a friends account. Today I took delivery of a flight stick and throttle. I'm pretty pumped.

Decided I ain’t touching this until the GTX 3060 is released next month.

You might be waiting a while for the cheaper cards chief.

If I want to buy this on PC and maybe also have it on XboxSX if I buy one later - where should I get it from? MS store? Some PC Xbox thing? Or will Steam be okay for that too?

You want to buy it directly from Microsoft. I can't remember which way around it is, I think it's Xbox > pc. But if you buy it on one you get it on the other. 

The EU servers for some reason are always fucked. If you have a VPN flip it to the states, then flip your Battlenet region to USA and you'll get full download speed. 

Each to their own, but in general past the first year or by paying for additional support, you get less warranty with a prebuilt.

same price as the currys one more or less,  depends if you'd like Intel or AMD really 

 

I'm an intel man

Bruh.

Have a look here:

I can't believe it's 2020 and I'm jazzed about playing cod. It's slowly grown on me over the past few months. I ended up buying the full game to play the sp, then I wanted to play the mp to level up some warzone loadouts. Now I'm itching to play mp and getting better and better at warzone. It's absolutely bizarre to me. But I'm enjoying it none the less.

Hands down the mp is the best thing I've ever done for aim training. I'm by no means particularly good, but my k/d grows each time I play and I've got a decent crew to play warzone with. 

Grau, archangel, monolithic silencer, commando grip and 50 rnd mags. Savage. 

I've recently got back into the Division 2. I roused a group of mates to get up to wt5 so we can do that 8 man raid, it's been really relaxing running through other peoples maps to help boost them.

How do I unmount my horse, I swear I cant find a key for it (lol)

Press X (maybe z) to auto do it. Same button as crouch.

This is phenomenal. My first lord Martin of House Taco Bell ended up destitute and behind enemy lines. Karen of Kentucky is doing far better. The 1000+ men battles are amazing. I javellined our opponent lord last night

If you don't know there's currently a major bug that fucks the game if you don't do the first and second major quests within 3 game years. 

At some point these console lads might realise these machines aren't a technological reckoning. 

yeah, the labs keys go for quite a decent amount of cash.

From my limited play I'd recommend maybe starting on Interchange doing loot runs then on to Customs. And maybe have a look at a few streamers, (@Pestily I think?) but I don't really watch them tbh. Have a map open on another screen, especially when you start. To be fair I am utter rubbish so no embarrassment to be had and even the best can be one tapped out of nowhere. I'm sure others can advise better/further.

 

I'm  bloody tempted to upgrade to the full fat version with that 25% off.

 

 

p.s. Ingame name is lenhug or LenH, send me a friend request or lmk yours and I'll send you one.

 

 

If you do the upgrades. Buy each one in sequentially, because you get the stuff for each tier.

Why isn't this Picross? 

I have no idea @gooner4life it's for the recent server outages. 

Also if you login in the next 2 days there's a free million. 

Yeah, that's the one I need to do now. They have also capped the amount of skills you can do per run I think. To stop people gaming it. I just need to eat whilst I play and I should get there soon enough. 

Yeah, thankfully I bought my intelligence folders last week. 

Yeah, sorry I mean the Scav gambling mechanic. I've got a Lucky Scav Junkbox, that is seemingly full with guest gear.
