Going to try not to spoil anything for you guys, but i'll just say this: Getting out into the open for the first time, on maxed out graphics, [I]oh my god.[/I]

Fuck yes, part 3 Mega link is now up 7 minutes and I'll be installing this bad boy. The download was surprisingly pain free

[img]http://puu.sh/8pC24.png[/img] SO CLOSE

I'm just going going to support the torrent, p2p is the way to go.

So apparently there are some odd changes to the endings. ([B]LA spoilers ofc[/B]) I hope you can still follow the same process to get the good one because the bad ones are just awkward. [sp]You see yourself from a third-person perspective approaching the Wish-Granter when for no reason a bandit assaults you from behind and an awkward fistfight animation plays out while the Inception theme blares out. After you beat him you stand up while magical blue lights gather around you, and then the appropriate cutscene plays. I guess it provides better incentive to get the good ending now, even though that now includes a corny rainbow at the end.[/sp]

Three hours left, my hype is through the roof.

OH FUCK DOWNLOAD FINISH BYE BYE.

i honestly thought i would never see this day a few times before. now it's staring at me in the face

Got my first stack trace :v: Do yourselves a favour and make hard saves, just in case.

IT'S INSTALLED seeding at 2mb/s for you guys, HERE WE GO

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;44658190]Got my first stack trace[/QUOTE] That's pretty discouraging, I managed to play for roughly a week of the leak before encountering my first crash. Also, can you confirm if the shitty death effect that just colours your screen black but leaves all the HUD elements there is still in or if they changed that from the leak ?

AHHH IT CRASHED WHEN STARTING A NEW GAME NO ERROR LOG AHH

my upload speed is faster than my download speed my upload speed is 50kb/s

I'm getting mixed feelings about LA now

Times like this I really regret the fact that my line maxes out at 500 kb/s. Oh well, the Tarkovsky movie's runtime should see me through to the end of the download.

Seeing how I haven't played the original SoC in YEARS, this is a very welcome release.

Got my first-stack trace.

Ohgodohman it's installing [url=http://i.imgur.com/Vvif60b.jpg]Have another picture[/url]

Unpacking... and seeding at 2mb/s, surprisingly. Something's going on with my internet provider, something good for once.

I can start the game again and load it just fine. Death blackout leaves the HUD elements in. EDIT: Loading the quicksave from the menu after death does not result in a crash, it just seems quickload does.

You really are joking, aren't you? tell me you are

I also get a crash from opening the contacts menu using H. So remember don't do it.

7.33 gb storage left, let's do this.

1.9 MB/s on Mega right now, so I'd say don't use ModDB right now

[QUOTE=Crisis;44658346]Ohgodohman it's installing [url=http://i.imgur.com/Vvif60b.jpg]Have another picture[/url][/QUOTE] dammit man you could have at least put NSFW somewhere. I mean I know you're Crisis and we should be expecting this kind of thing, but come on!

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;44658366]Death blackout leaves the HUD elements in.[/QUOTE] Urghh, I hate the black screen after death because I like to observe my death ragdoll and my surroundings after death. Oh well, maybe some mod will eventually change it. I just can't understand the reasoning for it at all if they leave the HUD elements in.

Unless of course, the stability functions on the same Russian roulette system where it works flawlessly for some people and gets bugged for some, because the leak is definitely very crash-free for me. I'll probably try to do a comparison after I get the "proper" Lost Alpha installed and running. [editline]herp[/editline] [QUOTE=gudman;44658435]Didn't contacts hotkey crash in leak as well?[/QUOTE] Some tabs on the PDA crashed the game, but it wasn't consistent and I could use the PDA just fine usually, then it crashed 3 times in a row with a :stack trace: on different PDA tabs, and then later that night it didn't crash at all in any of the PDA tabs. It's extremely inconsistent but the general gameplay and saving didn't crash the game for me at all. I played up to what is considered the "central hub" and had a total of under 5 crashes and honestly, I think I'll be maining my save on the leak until Lost Alpha has received some patches.
