Well, everyone has wanted to know the release date - and now you do! This Thursday - May 30, 2013. Just 2 days to go - just 2 days of the 15% pre-purchase discount, so if you haven't bought a copy yet, get in there and buy on the Steam Store Page!

It's not summer yet.... the Steam page said Summer 2013..... put the game back in the vault and hold it there until July :cool::D

I currently have an i7 with 8 threads (turned on HT) however it seems everytime I load this game / play it - the first thread is maxed at 100% and it doesn't utilize my other threads - i have to lock affinities to 2-8 and make sure it doesn't use 1 then it evenly uses the rest of them - will this be fixed via release?

:D

Very much looking forward to this. I suspect we'll see the conversion update for HOS servers sometime tomorrow then. Then we'll have to go thru the usual gutter brawl with our GSP to convert our Beta server back to HOS. Oh, well... What else is new? We'll probably convert a couple HOS servers to RS Right off, then we'll get organized for the long term. Thanks to Tripwire for the wonderful work, and thanks to our public for server patronage. :cool:

There is only one heavy weight thread, the smaller ones are insignificant. Forcing the OS to use multiple cores might actually slow down your game, context switching is quite expensive. Let the OS take care of that :)

How large will the RS retail download be on Thursday if you already own R02 and have it installed? Will I be downloading the entirety of R02 again? or is this going to be a massive patch that upgrades R02 to R02/RS combined?

I have a feeling you will have to download all of the RO2 content as well, because they most likely had to recook all the maps for the newer build of the game.

Sez the guy posting on an internet forum :cool::p

It would be the same size of the RS beta considering that has all the content of RO2 as well.

Plus the Single Player part, splash screen, etc. details, I'm guessing??

Yep. They are only keeping the single-player tutorials and moving that to be another Steam game in your library. The splash screen and all the UI is being replaced with the Rising Storm stuff.

Cool, exact same crap that happened with RO2.

Tripwire just trying to cash in as fast as possible.

I am pessimistic as hell.

Still waiting on "free content pack not long after launch that includes 2 tanks and 2 transports" for Ro2 almost 2 years later.

Those are not comparable in any way. RS is infinitely more polished than RO2 was on release.

Granted there are still bugs here and there (most of which carried over from RO2), but nothing major, and compared to releases by major publishers it actually is top grade (not least thanks to the long time effort polishing RO2).
