Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on PC releases today exclusively to the Windows 10 Store. It should have been another prominent feather in Microsoft's DirectX 12 cap. Instead, it’s one of the most disastrous PC game launches in years, and many AMD Radeon owners are advised to steer completely clear during the game’s launch window.
Update 3/1/2016 8:38 am PDT: The Coalition Community Manager PezRadar has posted a forum update indicating that all AMD cards using GCN 1.1 and GCN 1.2 are suffering problems, stating that “AMD is an important partner bringing the promise of DirectX 12 to life for gamers everywhere. We are working closely with them [...]“
The developers also confirm my suspicion about Ambient Occlusion: “There are visual issues with AMD graphics cards and the Ambient Occlusion setting, it is strongly recommended to turn this setting OFF. We are readying a fix to be deployed in the coming days.”
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
Daily Video Game writes: "CDKeys is featuring various digital titles on sale with huge discounts for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC gamers right now! The savings vary depending on what game you want to purchase, but you could save up to 90% off of them, and that's pretty awesome."
Use a credit card if you are kinda leary. Not a debit card.
I have bought stuff from them and had no problems, so I guess it’s okay.
cd keys is safe, been using them for years now. its the only place i get PC games firstly. an i buy some console games form there.
I've heard they're bought with stolen credit card numbers. The person gets the transactions reversed because it was stolen, but the "seller" gets the game codes to sell on CDKeys and other grey market sites.
The issue with these sites is that 'some people' buy keys in sales with stolen credit cards, then you buy the game from them...Then the company get the chargeback so it actually costs the game company money. I'm not convinced this is a vast majority though as pretty sure if it was a fraud site it woud just be closed down. Only issue I've had with an invalid key was for splinter cell blacklist for 38p. Pretty sure that is penny fraud. i.e. most people won't bother disputing as it's not worth it.
IGN sit down with members of The Coalition to discuss how Gears esports has grown over the years.
This is a bad day for the Windows 10 Store
That sucks. And that's why I stay clear from AMD when I'm gaming on PC. Nvidia all the way.
Haven't used a Radeon card since the 90's and every single one I had overheated.
Hopefully its not the case for QB, that would suck for Radeon users
If you turn Ambient Occlusion off. It's plays better for the most part. No artifacts on screen, but still some stutters hear and there.
