[QUOTE=Adarrek;50280613]Someone made a 5k star galaxy [img]http://i.imgur.com/I3DvxUi.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] RIP their computers in 100 years of game time.

[QUOTE=Kinversulath;50280799]How about "Its 2016 so lets release the game at midnight on the 9th rather than the mid-afternoon for some reason." I'd be down with that one.[/QUOTE] timezones?

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;50281032]Does it lag with that much stuff?[/QUOTE] No idea, probably unless you have like 16-32gb ram. Anyway, i'm really hoping for some crazy galaxy shapes in the future, like two medium sized galaxies, say each with 1-2k stars really close to each other with only a few star lanes connecting them. Something like this [url]http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0205/ngc4676_hst_big.jpg[/url]

[QUOTE=uitham;50281209]timezones?[/QUOTE] I mean, they're planning to release it in the mid to late-afternoon in their own time zone, which seems completely bizarre to me.

[QUOTE=Kinversulath;50281311]I mean, they're planning to release it in the mid to late-afternoon in their own time zone, which seems completely bizarre to me.[/QUOTE] too lazy to look shit up but perhaps that time is calculated by the marketing to maximize first hour exposure or some shit like that

There is an exact release time now [url]https://steamcommunity.com/app/281990/discussions/0/357285562487980826/[/url] 18:00 CEST Which is Noon EDT My guess was only an hour off :v:

Literally as I get home from work, wonderful :dance:

Nevermind.

Is there any interest for a Hearts of Iron 3 mod that remakes Europe and adds 60 new countries here?

Okay so cool I get to play stellaris [I]after[/I] I install the thing for 2h~ after I get home from school! Rather than a majority of sane game releases where it's available the midnight of and you can preload it. I want Stellaris real bad but jesus christ paradox

Oh cool, 11:00 AM EST. So I won't be play until 1-4 ish depending on how big the download actually is. At least I've got The Wotcher 3 to waste time in :v:

I just realized, i bought Stellaris from GMG but since there is no preload, when are they going to send out the codes to activate it?

They'll probably mail it around release time.

They explained the reason for the no pre load though. But yeah a midnight release would be the best...

Jesus just stop[/QUOTE] But it's so late for them is what I mean. A midnight release that would start for midnight Sweden time and simply lock the release to, say, midday US time would be totally fine if there was preloading. there's not a single thing stopping them from doing that despite their own bizarre paranoia.

who cares

I dunno, maybe it just comes from me overreacting because I have finals tomorrow and I wanna jump straight into R&R when I get home rather than sit around waiting for it to install. Sorry, I sounded like a douche and I made some really dumb posts. It's not like I'm refunding the game or anything, hell, I'm excited as ever for it.

Can the Steam mobile app do remote install when not on the same network? If you have a cellphone/iPod touch you could try that, if you leave your computer and steam running.

I'm p. sure devs can automate it, but I guess they don't want to?

[QUOTE=bdd458;50281977]Its an automatic process as far as I'm aware, there's no real reason for them to not do preloading OR midnight release.[/QUOTE] Well I imagine they want to have people around during release in case something goes wrong. I mean it just seems reasonable to me to release it during work hours instead of the middle of the night. [editline]9th May 2016[/editline] Like every possible release time is going to be more convenient for some parts of the world than others, I don't get why it matters.

They also gave I think a reasonable excuse for why they're not doing a pre-load.

Ok who the fuck is Willhelm the Third? I found a minister file for him while editing Germany's files in HoI3. I'm honestly lost as to who they could be referring to, I'm assuming its this guy [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm,_German_Crown_Prince[/url] [editline]8th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=RB33;50281495]Is there any interest for a Hearts of Iron 3 mod that remakes Europe and adds 60 new countries here?[/QUOTE] What exactly is the premise? If its just random war why not just use the random scenario generator?

Pls let the AI be atleast functional in HoI 4, it's awful and doesn't do anything right (when it does anything at all) in HoI 3.

[QUOTE=MrJazzy;50283486]Pls let the AI be atleast functional in HoI 4, it's awful and doesn't do anything right (when it does anything at all) in HoI 3.[/QUOTE] Bar the occasional hiccup from being a WIP, it is functioning well in the live streams. [editline]8th May 2016[/editline] There was a devblog on the AI recently.

I've never seen the NSDAP get coup'd. Less work for me however since I needed pro-monarchist ministers :v:

[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=679204773&searchtext=]holy shiiiit[/url] Wasn't there some guys from FP working on this?

I got an E-Mail from GMG about stellaris and got excited.. But it was just pre-order confirmation e-mail???
