    You still have to put up with it on Steam.

    29th is the continental release date, 30th is UK & Ireland.

    According to Steam it's going to unlock in 8 hours. Are you sure we're not the same as continental Europe?

    It is not available on steam in the UK at all so we are definitely in with Europe from Steams point of view.

    Since UPlay is required to launch the game, I guess it is possible that they could have region based locking that lumps us in with the UK (I've not used it before).

    Fingers crossed Ubisoft have realised we're not part of the UK anymore!!

    EDIT: I just took a look at it through the Uplay store and it's giving me a release date of the 29th. We could be in luck!!

    I see pre-loading is available now on steam. I never buy new games on steam these days but the Deluxe edition seemed to be similarly priced to other places and I went with it. This is my weekend sown up basically.

    **EDIT** Sorry just noticed you're in the UK.

    Liking it so far, not too fond of the radar telling me where all the nearby loot and flowers are. Utterly ruins the concept of searching and exploring.

    I have spent the last hour tweaking every graphical setting trying to find out why the shadows are so bad. I have to be almost on top of stuff before the shadows are drawn in, even with everything maxed out. Same goes for the AA. Changing it from 2 to 8 doesn't seem to do anything other than drop my FPS. Not really impressed at all with the game graphically.

    Ill try update/beta drivers tomorrow as all i want to do now is cry myself to sleep

    No issue with my shadows at all. Got the major graphics glitch all right but that was easily fixed by switching from HDAO to HDAO. I can look into a forest a fair distance across the map and the shadows look perfect.

    It's listed on the Argos site which is strange as they normally don't put games up there until they're available to buy (priced 53.99). Going to chance buying it in a while when I'm in there :D

    Cool. Can't wait to play 5 mins of the game and 500 hours on the map editor.

    Are people seeing a 1.1 patch through Steam yet? I hoping it'll fix the game freezing on my graphics card :/

    If you have an NVidia card they have new new beta drivers out as well which might be worth a shot.

    Apparently not :mad: Mailed Gamestop on facebook today and
    The game is out tomorrow Ed. So when our stores open in the morning that is when you will be able to get it.


    Cheeky prick , I said "seeing as it's been released in Argos and Steam and as we're in the Eurozone and not a part of the UK will you be releasing today "
