I don’t know if memes are allowed but I’ve done this by accident a few times and it is devastating. Had to make this meme to mitigate my sorrow.
Any News?

@DoManMacgee We’re trying to be low-key at the moment about the game’s features. It hasn’t launched in the Early Access yet.
-
From the blog entry today:
https://www.beamdog.com/news/happy-10th-birthday-beamdog/
“Our Axis & Allies title is also on the horizon, which is a new kind of game for us. We’re digging into the strategy, teamwork, and rivalry that made the original board game great, so I’m hopeful the release will be a hit with veteran Axis & Allies players— and with new players too. We’ve created introductory tutorials, plus all the setup and rules are automated, so it’s a great way to learn the classic game.” -
Well Happy Birthday then! Thanks for the update. Kind of cool to see everyone gathered in a room there, gives a sense of perspective. Look forward to seeing more in days to come

Was the email I got this morning advertising a July 31 (Wednesday) Early-Access go-live date real?
-
@DoManMacgee Yes, according to the steam-site:

Woo! Looking forward to rolling out tomorrow.
-
So I don’t know that I’ve ever been around for an early release. Seems I always come at things like 2 or 3 years late. What exactly does it entail? Can just go to steam and buy/download the thing tomorrow? If so sounds great! Or do I gotta do something else beforehand?
Are the internal forums up yet? Or they launch at the same time? I didn’t catch a link
Is it up at midnight? cause I don’t have work tomorrow haha

Yes, it is that easy. :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t know your timezone. According to Steam we can expect it at about 16:00 UTC.

Update from my end.
Tried to log on to Steam and buy it 3 hours ago (before heading out to work). At that time, is said it’d be up in about 6 hours, so about 3 hours from now (give or take) the game should be up.
-
We plan to go live in 2.5 hours.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog
Now it is announced for about 17:00 UTC.I realized that the system requirements now demand a minimum of 6 GB RAM.
Will it be unplayable with only 4 GB? -
@Panther You might try, but our developers were running into issues where it would get into a loading loop, thus we bumped requirements. However, our next build update should include some performance improvements that may make 4GB viable again (but we can’t promise it).
-
@JuliusBorisovBeamdog
All right then, this might speed up my decision to buy a new NB/PC with at least 16 GB. -
Not going to be out of work for another 8 hours or so (long story), but looking forward to finally diving in later tonight.
-
You can buy it now.
I just bought it for 15,11 Euro.
-
It’s launched, but we’re investigating a problem with the .exe file. https://steamcommunity.com/games/898920/announcements/detail/1616148671791463021

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog
I have not downloaded it yet - I hope you get it sorted soon :slightly_smiling_face: -
Seems that has been solved now. :)

OK, on my 4GB machine it starts and loads. I have gone through part one of the tutorial so far. It does not run smoothly but it’s ok given that the requirement is 6 GB. I will play around with the settings, maybe I can optimize gameplay a bit. I am happy that it works so far … :slightly_smiling_face:
