How does one say this? Jacked? Pumped? Triggered? I'm afraid I'm out of touch with yoof vernacular.

Download and launch of the game may be 2 separate servers ?That’s what I’m thinking but just checking so I can sneak out of work to download it.
My download time will be my issue before playtime
Was hoping we could download update earlier before server opens up for access to launch into the game.
What download speed do you have ?
I'm wondering what the actual download size is. Another 50-60GB? Youch.Download and launch of the game may be 2 separate servers ?

Hands up who needs gigabit broadband?
Very interesting, thanks.
I'd consider trying the 5 if I could turn eye-tracking off and just rely on head-tracking then. My experience with both the 4C and EyeX was there was a bit of lag (presumably deliberate in order to smooth out the small, involuntary eye-movements). And it's not great with text-heavy interfaces such as ED - eyes scrolling left to right with the eye-tracking auto-centring as your eyes move is a match made in hell.
If head-tracking works great on it's own, it could be well worth having a look again. TrackIR has its disadvantages too (the additional cable, the clip can come loose throwing off centring, doesn't work AT ALL for me if it's bright outside even with curtain drawn).
Leaks before release - never happened before!
There's probably more that Zac is keeping under wraps
With all the humility and the modesty required,
I think I'm well armed if the Frontier servers do the job.
A lot of the ED downloads run at around 1-2Mb despite our internet running around 14Mb download. I can’t wait until fibre reaches these Welsh mountainsDownload and launch of the game may be 2 separate servers ?

I also live in the mountains, but fortunately in the valley.
We were fortunate to have a fiber network manager financed mainly by local and regional authorities.

Hmm...
That is the runner-up prizes...
The winner gets the single, unique code that renders Odyssey in Full VR including the option of using hand controllers.
No, I don't. I am not going to play on launch dayYou leave the PC running all day ? Just for an download ?
But if I wanted to use Teamviewer to install the update I would probably use wake on LAN, so I don't need to keep the computer running all day.
Since Tobii 5 I too play using only head tracking, unless the game has some feature that makes use of eye tracking specifically, like Dying Light or Kingdom Come Deliverance. In some games (flight sims mostly, including ED) I even turn off the Tobii software and use just FacetrackNoIr to emulate TrackIR.
It works great in all lighting conditions, from bright to very dark.
Bear in mind that Tobii 5, like it's predecessors, only works at "desk distances", up to a meter tops, less is better. It's Tobii's big drawback when compared to TrackIR, it won't work if you wish to play on your couch in the living room 2 meters away from your big TV, it's made for playing at a desk only... It's the price to pay for being free from cables, hats, clips and whatever head mounted gizmos, and being able to simpy sit at the desk and have head tracking like if by magic.
Oh and another advantage the Tobii 5 has over 4C is that T5 head tracking now supports Z-axis as well, meaning that in games like MS Flight Simulator 2020 or IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad you can now lean forward to have a better look at instruments without having to fiddle with zoom.
Overall I'm a very happy customer.
