Worried about the game. Player count.

Title. Haven't started it with my friend yet but its sad to think by the time we get around to it we may not be able to experience the fun if invasions etc due to such a low player population:'(

[Blacksmith77K]

There are players here who are annoyed by "too many" invasions and you're worried that no one will invade you?

Seriously, on average 1000 people are online via Steam, that's not always the same 1000 via Steam. In addition, there are the epic games players and not to forget the console players.

Don't worry, enough players will kick your ass ;o)

It would be 1001 if the game actually worked for me. Can't even get passed first area, game crashes too much.

Which is actually very dubious. May I ask about your system specs? Installed OS?

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor
Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics

My drivers are up to date, verified files, Uninstalled and reinstalled, windows 8 compatability, run as administrator. Put the game on low, medium, auto-set. Used suggested launcher option from devs to use -dlssfg and -nopsos. Nothing works.

As soon as I continue the game, and take about 15 steps it crashes.

Anyone want to help me quick with Dervla?

Oh Dear... Thats a Intel Arc A770 DRIVER thing... but try the following:

Use the steam startoption -DX12 for this game. I KNOW, this game runs only in DX12 but Intel Arc doesn't know this.

I tried it, still crashed when I tried to fight first boss. Pieta, I think.

other idea:
there is a free UE5.1 benchmark on steam called EZBENCH
this one works exactly the same way as LotF
this benchmark contain the UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe
in the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ezbench\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us
this exe installs all required C++ redist for UE5. That would be worth another try
or use a C++ redist All in One Pack like this one:
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/
That would be my final idea on the problem. Otherwise all that's left to do is wait for a good Intel driver for ARC

The game has crossplay enabled, so you should not be worried about online.

Thank you for all of the replies I feel a bit better about it :)
