This is mildly interesting if it's true

"EA Games will be discontinued from official key stores after March!"

www.steamgifts.com

The first thing that came to mind is what Ubisoft does and their lack of keys for third party reselling instead of a OMG ONLY STEAM! It'd just be a OMG EA Connect!

 

[NarohDethan]

Unpacking, this better be more awesome than sex or y'all owe me the cost of the key

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

193k people now moved from watching the Elden Ring stream to watching the Elden Ring unpacking graph. lol
edit:
I did have to restart my Steam Client and then try to restart it twice before it fired up and then it showed me 7 new updates and started unpacking Elden Ring. Their servers must be getting hammered.

oh and done!
so, is it sleepy time now or tomorrow at work? hmmmmm

 

[fantomena]

247k playing on Steam so far and Europe is going to bed (I am). Haven't even gotten halfway with the downloading.

Below 300K.

260k

Your guesses are already dead.

 

[Cacher]

Wow the Elden Ring banner on steam front page is sick!

 

[Panda Pedinte]

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I was thinking 350k but I think it’ll quickly blow past that

It already has.

 

[Lashley]

450k and climbing

 

[AHA-Lambda]

450k and climbing

Fucking hell this thing is a monster

 

[Mor]

From 20 minutes ago and now it's over 504k, holy SMOKES!


If this reaches 1M I totally expect someone at sony screaming "RELEASE BB NOW! DUMB ASSES"

 

[prudis]

550k

 

[STHX]

Can't stop
Won't stop

[fantomena]

Still downloading for me and Im going to bed (like the rest of Europe).

[Arc]

Browsing the Steam forums, and it looks like Elden Ring uses EOS. My PS5 copy doesn't unlock for another 5 hours so I have some free time on my hands.

 

[Lashley]

 

[prudis]

userreviews are mostly memes for now from what i have seen first few pages

 

[Dinjoralo]

I need to wait for Elden Ring to get a performance fix. That or the new Ryzen CPU's come out.

Until then, Ressie!

 

[Nabs]

687k. Oh my dear.

 

[r3n4ud]

We be touchin 700k.. that's a whole lot of stuttering

 

[Durante]

Should we have an Elden Ring Metacouncil group password thing?

Also, I'm having so much fun just reading all the inane messages in the starting area. It's probably in a large part nostalgia, but that doesn't make it any less fun

(Also, my GPU is only half-awake, I think I'll have to do some DLDSR)

Also2, I spent 45 minutes in the character creator. It's one of those which has a billion sliders and you need to get the right balance of all of them to get remotely what you want. Just the way I like it

 

[NarohDethan]

Walks and attacks -- yep that's a Souls game.

 

[Panda Pedinte]

You know I haven't felt that feeling of being lost without any idea of what to do since the first Dark Souls.

Dont forget the rolls

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

Why the fuck isn't there PS icon prompts and I can't change accept to O in a game in 2022.

 

[inky]

I thought it would only peak at like ~500k ngl

 

[Alextended]

Can't use my controller in game. It will probably work if I unplug all other controllers, flight stick, fighting commander, but I don't wanna have to do that every time, it messes up my config in stuff like retroarch when the controller id changes order. It's not the first game this happens in but it's a rarity for sure. This is whether I have DS4Windows on or not, whether I have Steam input on or off, etc., it seems to want to use some "PS3 controller" I don't even have (Fighting Commander is in XINPUT mode so also an Xbox pad). Steam input itself sucks and doesn't solve this either, there's no option to hide any of my connected controllers atm even though it's supposed to have something like that. There are threads on Steam for this same issue by folks that confirm it's because of multiple controller setups but 90% of the posts are pending auto moderation even if they're over an hour old so I dunno if anyone found a real solution yet.

Cant use my Xbox controller :: ELDEN RING General Discussions

Why? EDIT: For me following things fixed my problem: -Unplug every device which could act like a controller. By me, i had the wheel Logitech G920 -Under Steam > Settings > Controller > Generell Controller Settings > Turn on both Xbox Configuration Settings -Elden Ring > Propertis > Controller >...

Controller not working :: ELDEN RING General Discussions

I have both Xbox and PlayStation compatible controllers and I can get neither to function in game. It still locks the game to controller commands though, so using a keyboard and mouse is impossible. I’ve tried launching in regular and Big Picture mode, rebooting, reinstalling drivers, nothing...

Should we have an Elden Ring Metacouncil group password thing?

not a bad idea

 

[Dandy]

Is this really the how the mouse/keyboard controls are supposed to work in character creation? And then I get into the game and the button prompts are all for controller so I have to guess/check the keybinds to see them instead of following the on screen instruction.

 

[Durante]

Game works perfectly with my Steam controller out of the box, they even were nice enough to set the camera mode to trackball (everything else is sacrilege).
Although the default bindings on the back buttons are stupid, right should obviously be run and left should switch magic, luckily it's extremely easy to rebing... also, having 4 of them would help. Hurry up with that Steam Controller 2 Valve.

You know I haven't felt that feeling of being lost without any idea of what to do since the first Dark Souls.

Pfft, this game even has tutorial popups. Casual AF

There's an option for that in the menu.
(Which is superior to autodetect, IMHO)

I set mine to "MetaCil" just now. No, I'm not creative, and yes, there's a character limit

Thank you!

 

[Anteater]

I'm playing the FF6 pixel remaster, does anyone have a reshade preset for CRT-royal scanlines? I tried making my own but it just looks wrong (some weird colors on white fonts), I can probably live with it but was wondering if someone has a good config out there.

 

[Kvik]

Move over Elden Ring, the true GOTY contender is here.

 

[Anteater]

Atelier Sophie 2 is $67.50 USD here.

 

[TioChuck]

Move over Elden Ring, the true GOTY contender is here.

They are using Valves suggested prices in some regions, how long until they "fix" it? lol.

 

[dummmyy]

What the hell is all this talk about Anal Ring???

 

[Yoshi]

Elden Ring is now at over 750k+ concurrent players:

 

[Durante]

That's 3 times what I expected.

I based my expectations on 2x the Dark Souls 3 peak, because honestly Dark Souls 3 was already incredibly successful on Steam. Between Steam growth in general and the hype I expected Elden Ring to double it, but this is really something else.

 

[yuraya]

Beat my first boss in ER.

Down to the wire with FP and flask. Such a great feeling and adrenaline rush that only these games can give you. So good to have a new From game.

Also the intro theme and story dump was amazing. Goosebumps throughout.

But yea the game is very hitchy. Randomly just stutters down to low 50fps range. Almost feels like some area slowdown bs tbh hopefully they are working on a fix.

Even more weird I had these same stutters in Lost Ark that refused to go away no matter what fix I looked up via forums. I figured that was the online part of it.

 

[MonthOLDpickle]

The character creator in Elden Ring is still kind of shit lol. Can't even get a decent female, let alone Asian.

 

[Kvik]

They are using Valves suggested prices in some regions, how long until they "fix" it? lol.

And with no launch discount makes it a losing value proposition.

Luckily, the Humble Choice discount still applies.

 

[NarohDethan]

Lol they removed Elden Rings' user reviews.

 

[Kvik]

Lol they removed Elden Rings' user reviews.

We can still access the reviews through Steam Community. Although, I'm not sure if you also lose the ability to create new review (I don't own the game)

Holy shit at the ccu. I'm also playing on my gtx 1080 and performance is absolutely putrid lmao

Lol they removed Elden Rings' user reviews.

They're still there but something is acting up.

You can see the reviews themselves over here and the overall score here.

Hopefully it will be like what happen to bethesda , another evil is dead

KT has been using suggested pricing over here since Ninja Gaiden Collection so hopefully it's here to stay.
