You can tell that a lot of people have got the game running now. The servers are getting hammered. I can't even get the mission screen to load at stations. It just times out.

It may be that the servers are only down in the US or maybe just the PC servers. I can see people playing the game on Twitch. As for me, I can't even connect all all right now.

I just wanted to say it was so nice to see all the new players being helped by those who were clearly veterans in the new systems. Bravo!

I've never subscribed to Epic games but I wonder how they keep giving away free games? That must cost them millions!

It brings back memories of Friday Night Server Stress ... looks like the rebalancing is working

I’ve been trying to open a new frontier account in order to get an other elite dangerous game from epic, but frontier keeps kicking me back to the log in page. I’m using a different email address but no joy.

This Epic freebie is going to really upset the "Doomies" who quote steam stats to prove the game is ded!
(I have one, but won't activate it for a week or so!)

 

[MaxwellJoneZ]

Epic anger again. Why distribute freebies on chinese Epic when we would have bought it on steam?
Anyway it doesnt work and can't be played. Be warned and shoutout your anger!

Won't affect Steam charts (well, might actually depress them as defectors level their new Epic alts). Doomsters will have a field day, they are unaffected by such concepts of logic and reality

Nobody is stopping you from buying a few more licenses on Steam. Or even cut out either of the two platforms and buy from FD directly.

If by "it" you mean Elite Dangerous - there's a few dozen reports on here to the contrary.

Fixed that for you.
