The devs have put in astonishing work adapting to the crazy influx of players and fixing the issues causing cluttering of servers, as well as almost doubling a network capacity they said would be difficult less than a week later. Devs seem passionate and the Twitter exchanges I see from the team seem to show a great foundation and vision for the game.

Game is amazing and with an amazing team like this, I am happily extending managed democracy across the galaxy. I look forward to diving into hell once more.

Original Review

Game is pretty fun when you can play it. But I have only played the game for 1 hour out of my current playtime.

You cannot do anything within the game until you connect to their online servers. However, the servers are all full and seemingly no queue system in place. As I write this I've been trying for 1.5 hours to play and have not been able to get past the "connecting to servers" portion of the process.

When they sort servers out I'll revise this, but until then, it's literally unplayable. It's great that the game is so successful to have this problem, in a sense, but the lack of queue (or lack of information that you might even be in a queue) is just baffling in modern day.

Game was awesome with modding, but devs removed it (to be fair there was a lot of abuse and toxicity going on, so I get it).


Game is a fun mix of scares, "mystery solving" and messing around with friends. I think this game has a lot of potential going forward as well, so I'm looking forward to see what they do in the future with some tweaks.

Lutebot and duels make this game. Must play.

It's almost harvesting season!

It looks bad, but I have put wayyyyy too many hours into this game and still love it. Helped fund the original in 2003 and so glad I did. Waiting on Bannerlord.

I never take part in the trading aspects, but the love the battles (attacking castles and keeps is a little frustrating but still fun to learn). Easy to mod, easy to get lost for hours.

Can't even start the game. **FIXED**

Hardware:
-Laptop w/ i7 4720 Haswell CPU
-GTX 970 4(aka 3.5)GB GPU
-16GB 1666hz RAM

Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
-Changed INI file(but this would only help once IN game)
-Changed NVIDIA control panel settings
-Works in windowed mode. (Right click game, properties -> launch options [type in "-windowed"])

**Old write-up. Not changing until it runs like it should**

Start the game and it proceeds to launch in background and not as primary application.

Once I make Arkham Knight the primary application it stutters and distorts the video so horribly that I can't even navigate the menu.

Alt-tab and hover over the game and it runs perfectly fine. Seriously... what the heck?


I've seen others with this processor/GPU combo saying the same thing. Don't get this until it's optimized.

I made a School RPG called High School Poopiscal and it got 10/10.

Would play again.
