I got this Game. Downloaded it. Created my character, snuck unto my ship, got my first mission, got my first side mission, learn how to use the knife on the way and the Game freezes, every time it loads. I do think the base Game was a part of GOG and am going to look in my library for it. Epic or whoever needs to fix this asap. I only have so many Vacation days to get into what will carry me through winter and this was looking good after watching a Gameplay video on Youtube and trying it for myself.

Well that sucks. You hardly done anything & the game is already locking-up.,

I just loaded my original back-up & it play's nicely. So it looks like those users in the steam forum was right to give it thumbs down. Let's see if this happens to other user(s) here on TPU.

NOTE: The base game is DRM free. Start the game by going direct to the game folder for extremely, very tiny performance gain.

Just one more TPU user will convince me this game still has issues & anyone wanting to play this game should stick with the original.

Wow, Epic must be on a mission to bankrupt developers (or themselves) by giving all these $50 games away for free!

You'd think, right?

not everyone is hooked on claiming free games like we are.

True!

Set it to Fullscreen and disable any GPU undervolt and/or overclock (or at least make them less aggressive).

Played a few months ago on Steam. Setting the game to Fullscreen solve the instant crash post loadscreen and disabling undervolt solved the crashing during gameplay (had the same issue with Metal: Hellsinger, and going from 0.875v unvervolt to 0.9v solved it for me).

Inviting one of those free games bots on my discord channel years ago made my libraries so full of s..t that I lost the will to add anything more, unless it's a known quality title (which 99% I won't play neither).

I believe you bought 2 more games on EGS than most on this thread

(my library says 392, of which I have about 10 installed)

Lol probably..

BFV and FC6.. pretty sure you don't need EGS to run them, at least for FC6..

I actually had to look. Of the 33 games I own on Epic only 12 of them were freebies.

Ruru · Dec 27, 2023

I've started to pick those EGS freebies since they gave Batman Arkham Asylum, City and Knight. Looks like those were on giveaway in 2019.

Shihab · Dec 27, 2023

Not to be that guy, but I think chatting about our EGS libraries should be in its own thread.

(Partially because I have some complaining that would definitely be off topic here)

The thing is the only reference to EGS to most of us is the Free Games so inexorably it does apply especially during this period that they give a free Game everyday. When I scroll through my Epic library I just shake my head as so many cool Games but the UI in Epic sucks so I have about 3 to 5 Games actually installed but about 2 TB of Game data that I can't access. This season does not seem to be as disruptive as last season though. I actually posted a thread about the negative effect that days of AAA Game giveaways might have on the market last year. I mean Death Stranding Directors Cut was enough but the rest was just stupid.

Epic Games messed up today's giveaway.

Well, if you give Epic 10 bucks from the kindness of your heart, they'll let you have the game for free.

On a serious note, it's fixed now (at least for me).
