Hey can you guys please tell us what you used to to VPN to Australia? i am trying to do it with vyprvpn but so far no dice.

Edit:nvm used Surfeasy worked perfectly.

brandonwh64 · Nov 9, 2015

I used a coworkers https://www.newshosting.com/ subscription that has Australian VPN servers.

For those willing to try a VPN, this one worked for me: https://www.worldvpn.net/free-vpn/
It even has a free trial!

Especially since you can almost always find a model on sale in the $300 to $315 range!

Mine was $280 after rebates

Also came with a choice of either AC: Syndicate or R6 Siege.

Apparently EVGA has made 9 different GTX 970 cards and the Best Buy link above is this one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...088&cm_re=evga_gtx_970-_-14-487-088-_-Product

For $329 after rebate and with a free game (but not Fallout 4).

One thing that might make the Best Buy card worth it to a hardcore Fallout fan is the Fallout themed backplate that comes with the card but it's not shown so I don't know what it looks like.

That might be worth it to someone as a collector's item!

You can see the backplate on this small picture

One hour to go for me here. I think I'll never pre-purchase a game I'm so eager for again. The tension is too great!

Octopuss · Nov 9, 2015

I watched a video of PC version running on maximum settings, and uh... the graphics look like SHIT. Why are the colours so horribly oversaturated with some weird white fog in front of everything? That's horrible!

erocker · Nov 9, 2015

Cuz realism<art direction. I'm not seeing the oversaturation or the white fog. Guy is probably using a bad config of SweetFX.

Draw distance is really good from what I've seen playing today. We're used to the muted colors of past Bethesda games and personally I find FO4s palette so much better!

I dont know what crack you have been smoking but the game is awesome!

How is your frame rate? Comparable to some of the early benchmark numbers? Thanks.

45ish on ultra, but with some strange stutter. turning AA and shadows down makes it 45-60, without the stutter. (i think its AA doing it).

i am on older drivers, been a few betas but i havent updated.

brandonwh64 · Nov 10, 2015

I played today on a I7-4790 with a GTX 970 @ stock and was getting over 60+FPS on everything maxed. Only slow downs I seen was when I went to the big city and had raiders throwing grenades at me.

Wow. Again I'm at a complete loss for words. I thought this would be reasonable; a $60 game with a $290-$300 card, and you'd have the price pretty reasonable. Instead it comes with a poster, and the heat dispersion coating on the bottom of the card is painted. I don't know why anyone would pay an extra $70 just for their heat dissipation plate (a part they'll almost never see) to be colored.

I get the beer. I get the pop. I even can kinda see the plastic pip-boy (as decoration). This is just sad.

Also, kudos to everyone who pre-ordered, but didn't sign on to an Aussie or European VPN. You've only got a few more hours, followed by the longest work day, ahead of you. Hopefully you find Fallout 4 was worth the wait, and I'm just a pessimistic voice that disappears after slaying your first dozen synths.

Is it safe to use VPN? since steam and VPN combination is kinda grey area.
