Has anyone tried Riders Republic? Reason I ask is because I tried the beta on PS5 but it seemed the framerate was at 30fps, so visually I didn't find it appealing. However, i'm looking at some youtube videos and they seem to state it's running at 60fps. Which leaves me wondering if I downloaded the wrong version or have they made changes since the beta version?

Age of Empires IV coming in with an 80+gb download and 132gb install.

They really need to start offering an option not to download the 4k stuff if you don't want it.

PC only?

Went back to the Newcastle save on FM22 out of curiosity, to see what I could do with them. About 9 games in and 2nd in the league (behind city!) and beat united despite having a centre back sent off early.

But the vultures are circling. Real and Liverpool want St Maxim, brought in forwards Rafinha from Leeds and Barbosa from some club in Brazil, Real want them both already.

And most annoyingly of all, got Kondogbia to sign on the promise that we'd strengthen midfield. Despite then singing Bennacer, Tolisso, Thiago Almada and Argentina international Palacios, he slapped in a transfer request the day after the transfer window slammed shut.

Ran out of money by the time I got to defence though. Lascalles and Manquillo as regulars means it's a policy of outscoring or losing!

Downloaded it and I cant play it, the game is not detecting my graphics card (GTX 1080) and is using the integrated Vega 8 card so the resolution is 720p cant find anyway to change the graphics card in the settings

Strange one. I've not finished downloading it yet but has it triggered this 'min spec mode' maybe.

@kippaxwarrior Have you tried looking in the nvidia control panel (not geforce). You can set custom settings per game there. I'm on AMD cpu so don't have integrated graphics to test.

Also there's this, which I believe is valid for win10 as well.

Steam sale until 1st November. Worth checking your wishlists to see if anything is reduced. There’s quite a few cheaper games on mine that are in the £10-15 range and are anywhere from 50% to 90% off. I’m getting 7 games for 13 quid!
