    Great infos about all kinds of weapons in left and/or right hand.

    If you're like me and want to wield a sword + shield watch from 4:00 on.

    What time does Ubi typically allow preloading to start? I had the email saying you can download from the 6th, but it still says 'Coming Soon' on Ubi Direct. We have terrible broadband, so I want to start dl'ing as soon as poss.

    I'm really looking forward to this, mainly for the setting, but from what I've seen the gameplay looks pretty good too. I've skipped the last two AC's so hopefully I'll not be totally lost with any story elements that are carried through.

    There's no specific unlock time for preload it seems

    Sounds like a rolling gradual unlock starting from Australia and New Zealand I believe first and then every hour for the rest of the world through the 6th and 7th depending on your own time zone and location.
    Guessing that's afternoon to evening sometime here, should just have given a straight answer like 6 in the evening local time zone might have been clearer. :)

    EDIT: Well gradual preload download really the gradual everyone goes for the VPN unlock on the 9th to the 10th then after this. :D

    Thanks guys... I'll keep checking.

    It'll probably take a whole day, or more for me to dl such is our speed here, so I want to get it going as soon as poss. That's assuming the 50gb size is correct as well?

    Yay, just checked and started mine a few mins ago. Slightly smaller than expected, but is a day one patch expected on the PC version to bring it to the originally estimated size of 50GB I wonder?

    Sadly it's a 20h download for me, but I've done worse :mad:

    The settings options in Ubisoft PC games is always exceptional just wish they would optimise them.

    Waiting for my key from AMD rewards

    I think it will probably be release day so no pre-load

    I'll play this game, in a year from now. Being a cross gen game it's gonna be a disaster for PC.

    Ubisoft+ can preload, too. I thought you wont be able. Also because you cant play games offline with ubisoft+.

    Even though Norway is just the prelude to England, it's nice to hear it's quite big still.

    Not good. One core maxed out the rest low usage. May be a problem with his setup.
     
  18. Nah, most of current Ubisoft's engines are total mess... including the Anvil. The same engine with the same visuals as in Origins/Odyssey, but with worse performance.

    Cant remember ever having the maxed out core 0 though?
     
  20. With 20 HW threads that wouldn't bother me that much. Maybe he's using SW video encoder to get a few percent more from the GPU.
