This is an embarrassment, taleworlds website and steam are not working, was there no planning for this? Though I suppose it is EA.

That's not how this works. Severs are servers, they can only handle so much load at once. Preparation has nothing to do with it, short of buying huge servers that cost way more to run that you'll only use at full capacity for 20 minutes of the company's existence.

Npc's, especially character's family and childhood looking horrible.

 

[Occyfel]

downloading now can't wait

 

[Thistle]

I uninstalled beta and it was added to cart.

 

[RoboSenshi]

Watching.

 

[Dead End]

Pre-gameplay it’s bouncing in my chair like a 6 year old as it downloads

 

[Count Delinard]

Thanks for putting the thread together, Nova

BL's launch broke the forums, it broke the website, and it broke steam.

Also, it's outselling everything

 

[Dadaruhi]

It is downloading now and I'm watching some twitch streams. I can say that I will be spending my next 2 days at character creation...
