Can't wait for this :smiley: Looks like the current cheapest pre-order price. I'm guessing this is a physical box, but I preordered from Base previously and the game arrived the day before release.

They fixed the problems for a lot of folk, but there's still undoubtedly those who have issues. Plus they're still patching it (there was one just the other day).

I think its a lost cause tbh, I tried the trial, my frame rate was high at over 100fps at 1440p on a 1080ti and gsync monitor it just has horrendous frame pacing issues which means it just looks choppy the whole time.

I can't comment myself; I had to drop my resolution down to 1280xsomething to make it run playably, but that was because my rig is several years old now :wink:

Is this a DLC add on to the current Dishonored or a completely new game?

It's a standalone game, but will be shorter - hence the lower RRP. It wouldn't surprise me if it was planned to be DLC, but they held off with all the problems they had with performance, and now decided to make it into a so-called "expandalone" instead.

Was the same for me, but it's fixed, I have a 1080ti and the game runs beautifully now, not a single drop in frames or any frame pacing problems.

Hmm, will try it again in that case, really want to play the game.

I had the 980ti and it ran like ****, as you say, frame pacing and when I got to the main city the frame rate was abysmal, but now with the new card and the patches its a really great game, what makes me laugh is people saiyng the graphics are the same as the first so they don't know why it so GPU intensive, the graphics are some of the best I've seen in parts and the gameplay is better than the first (which I loved) but it's certainly a much harder game than the first if you want to go all stealth

Does base take payment on order or dispatch?

I believe on dispatch, at least according to the other Base.com post for the console versions.

Just to confirm, no money taken from my account yet, so it will presumably be on dispatch.
