Lol. I wonder if they're going to take away DC from people who already claimed it. Also the launcher is completely borked for me, there are two copies of Director's Cut in the library and all games require me to sign in again, doing which just leads back to home page. So I can't install or play any of them.

My reciept shows I got the director's cut, we'll see what it says once launcher is able to load lol

Tatty_Two · Dec 25, 2022

I can access the store and free game from the launcher, at first the game loading page did show Directors cut but then whilst I was trying to get it I was thrown out, tried again 10 minutes later and it was the base game, however it still is not playing for me when I try to "Get" but I don't know if different regions have different servers as I am trying to access from UK.

It's not two copies, one of them is the artwork. I claimed the Director's Cut as well, I'm curious to see if they'll honor it.

I'm going for it. :laugh:

Claimed Director's Cut, the installation promt pop ups said Director's Cut, but both the receipt and the library listing show base game with additional content.

Hi,
First jumpers got the directors cut congrats :cool:

Fluffmeister · Dec 25, 2022

Still can't claim any version, all the money they have and they still can't handle the free giveaway of one game.

Regeneration · Dec 25, 2022

I got the standard edition because it won't let me claim the DC.

What's that extra content?

Got the game now while the page was still loading, just keep clicking on the button! If you wait to long you'll get "unavailable"....

Base game is supposed to have way better performance, so I'm happy with it as well.

I gave it a quick try at 1440p very high with DLSS quality and I was getting 110+ fps

Same over here, installing yielded the base game now. So either reverted already or might not have worked in the first place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

just got it, any is better than none

6€ for the upgrade, i was late. I really wanted to play the directors cut but i also am busy with other games, this can wait for a sale.

You don't need the DC aspect, the story is so long and the game is so vast that it'll take time till you get to the point where it starts getting boring. Remember it is the bestest running simulation ever!

Hi,
DC just has more T & A probably :cool:
