Too bad that the game launch at 23.00 in my country. Since I can't preload and to avoid heavy traffic , maybe I should go to bed early and wake up around 4 - 5 AM to download the game. Can I set EA app / steam to download game as soon as it release? Is "heavy traffic" a pc issue? Because I've never had problems downloading games on ps5. It's several year after last time I download AAA game from steam/ EA app at launch. So I just want to be sure.
Plus download speed in general usually faster at late night (at least in my country).

Well, it's official.
I pre-ordered the game and spent money on a new processor, graphics card, and memory.
I feel like the embodiment of the "I'll never financially recover from this" meme.

If there's no Denuvo, I believe that means there is no encryption. No encryption - I think - means that the game could be cracked if pre-loads became available. Maybe from BioWares perspective, this is to (1) prevent piracy, and (2) prevent data-miners from leaking aspects of the story.

Who's doing these recommendations? 16 cores for 4k 60? I doubt even 8 cores will be fully utilized, pretty much no game needs more than 8.

Most people are going to be playing on console so why do steam numbers really matter that much? I think 90% of inquisitions numbers were on console and right now its number 2 on PS5 behind COD which is an absolute juggernaut of a game.

So, since the game doesn't have any third party DRM, that means that somebody potentially could smuggle a PC copy of the game from a retailer's warehouse and just play the game, correct?

No preload sucks. I'll be at work when it launches and i'll be back home three hours after. Could have downloaded a good chunk of it.Might check remote download, and hide in the bathroom at work and launch the stuff. Like I'm a woman on a mission. Or some kind of lunatic.

I think it's likely that steam numbers aren't as high as wed think they'd be because of EA store purchases. A lot of YouTube creators have been promoting purchasing from the EA app because they get a kickback.

AMD 7800X3D (8 cores) is still the fastest CPU in terms of average FPS in Star Wars Outlaws. Even without the X3D cache you'll probably hit GPU limit in 4k max settings sooner than CPU limit.
