what NA vpn are you using?


I used www.privatewifi.com - LA server.


Are you able to play it without vpn after unlocking?
Or do you have to stay in vpn or steam-offline-mode?

A pre-defined seed. That's actually a really good thing.

I think you're able to play in off-line mode (haven't tried) but the idea of using this 3 day VPN is to stay online with it until EU release, and retain your achievements/stats etc - I believe you lose them if you play offline.

Well, it means they blew alot of resources on making cutscenes, when it would have been better spent on developing the game and expanding it's features. Ingame cutscenes would have been just as good. Smile

I'm sure most of them would have been generated in the game engine originally, they just pre-render them because consoles can't handle them. You see it all the time.

Ahhh. Kinda thought that, but great anyway. Very Happy

According to the feedback, this is cracked, not just steam unlocked. The 3DM version that is.

I can't understand these delayed releases as well, why let the rest of the world wait for the same game? This pushes people to piracy more imo..

Antiquated remnants of a bygone era. As soon as we get rid of retail stores and entirely rely on online distribution, there will be no more reason to keep this around.

I am in Europe preordered and currently playing.
Run a vpn start up steam unlock and update the game and play. Put steam in offline mode for 2 days untill the game is released in europe.

Nvm... I'm a dummy... but damn is it slow. Takes ages to patch 10MBs -.-

*EDIT* Seriously, I'm not even sure it patches. The bar moves but it say 0kb download on Steam itself. Is there a way to speed this up? Sad

btw guys, did anyone try to turn of the glam cam and the soldier view and play plain isometrically?

I suffer from motion sickness, and in the demo I kept getting these short cut scenes and zoom-ins by the game which they promised that they would be able to be turned of..

According to a couple of places, the 3DM version is cracked. Not just a Steam Unlock.

It's around 11 GB, from the file structure it seems to use only DX9 as well.
(It's unreal engine 3.)

Good game, finished one playthrough on the xbox and it was well worth going through.

The game has alot of issues though, mainly a retarded amount of clipping. Enemies coming out of walls in the "action sequences" or whatever they are called, your soldiers take reaction shots through walls and lots of other weird stuff. Losing your soldier when they are in full cover and a muton takes a shot through three walls sucks, big time.

The variety of maps are small, lots of reusing the same maps in missions.

The AI seems kinda retarded. Feels like there is some kind of aggro range (like in wow or something) where you keep facing groups of three aliens and their friends, who are just outside viewing range, are doing nothing until you get to them. This might be because I only tried playing on normal difficulty, but if not, it sucks big time.

Oh well. Time to give it another go on hardest difficulty with iron man mode on. Lets get it on!

Why do you make it sound like shit if it's good?


Thats why I asked him about what he actually liked then - I am getting so tired with this forum - everything has to center about the negative things and it has to be black and white. But great to see a release so soon!!

So they haven't fixed the shooting through walls issue. I have also heard (from press release preview) that on impossible difficulty there is hidden modifier to "chance to hit" that will make you miss even when you are point blank and have 98% to hit. Also some shit about saving the hit result so save-load doesn't work on missed shots- so everytime when you have missed and reloaded you will now always miss that shot.


Maybe the difficulty level impossible is a hint. And the save/load thing is lifted directly from CIV and is part of the difficulty.
