Like 1 hour after the launch, there was a torrent on 1337x, it was fun watching people debate if it was malware or not. Even a mod got in the debate. But good to know there are repacks now, totally not going to download hehehe

FitGirl has also had it on their todo list since the crack showed up on 1337x

Holy shit that was fast, good lord.

The whole From 104GB thing just tells me to stick with the original. Any game more than 20GB and it ain't being installed on anything I own.

Either way, no surprise considering how big of a game this is, even if it is a remaster of a beloved classic so old that children have grown up only knowing every version of Skyrim released on everything from consoles to your mom's smart vibrator.

It's the year 1998. I don't understand why half life is a whopping 300MB compared to dooms 15MB. 🤣

The year is 2025 where rules like this are brutally effective slop filters.

That's just not how textures work though lol

If they’re being that picky, it’s because their PC definitely can’t handle it lol

Nor models.

And oh look, those make up everything that isn't music or UI!

Originality issue.

Staying with the original also for the performance reasons: UE5 makes it really hungry for resources, while original runs smooth and makes my computer not even turn on active cooling.

Old game runs needs less powerful hardware than new game

Good lord, did you figure that out all by yourself‽ /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We are talking old game remake lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah well, a remake means they made the game again. It's a new game, with the same content. That does mean it runs a new engine, and has modern-sized textures and models.

Perhaps they could optimise the game a bit more, I've always thought an installer that let's you choose wether to install the downsized 1080p assets or the full-size 4k assets would've been nice to have but alas.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.

I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I swear some game had high res textures optional on Steam. Maybe Witcher 3?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Don't know if it is fully optional, but Star Craft 2 installs on low res first, allowing you to boot the game in low res before the full install has completed.

Nope. Someone in my steam family bought it so I just downloaded and cracked it then shared the crack. So now everyone can play at once lol.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Downloaded it as soon as it was online

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can someone assist on how to obtain a magnet link for a torrent on DODI? I'm interested in downloading it through Premiumize if possible.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There's one in 1337x or on his website
