  Oh nice, wouldn't mind trying this tbh

  And the preload availability is so nice in contrast to my Abbonet

  Does anyone know if a GTX 660 will run this? The system requirements say that it needs a GTX 670 at a minimum.

    You can play the whole campaign coop.

  Would be fun to test if this works on my 6 year Radeon R7 200 :P

  The Epic games version installs into your ubisoft folder so best value is the gold edition. As the game maintains only one save file you're wise to set up a save game folder, particularly if you are intending to play coop and solo, so you can switch between the two.

    I tried to turn off cloud in the epic launcher and couldn't find the savegames - do I need to turn it off in the ubisoft launcher?

      Yeah don't worry about the Epic launcher at all as you can just go via ubisoft. Play the game up until the end of the 'tutorial' - where you leave Dutch's island as this all takes up to an hour. (You don't want to have to go through all this twice.) Exit the game.

      Turn cloud save off in the ubisoft launcher. Go to your ubisoft game launcher folder (something like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\<Unique ID>\1803) and you will find a few save files. Save a copy of these files to a new folder, and if you intend to play coop perhaps save them to a new folder called Coop Saves as well. Then when you play just cut and paste whichever save you want to use back into the original ubisoft save game folder.

      In coop only the host carries the save game file and can activate the missions.

    If you get the gold resist equipping the lasers from the Mars mission - its hella fun but so OT and you dont get skins for animals or corpses to loot so no $$ :)

  Kind of stupid how it starts at 11pm? Doesn't the weekend typically start Friday evening, around 6ish?
