ACG Star Wars is this weekend, the 29th. You didn't miss it!!

It's an EA game.....so I'd definitely get steam if you can. It's also on Xbox Game Pass sometimes and shit like that if you have a console and has cross platform.

OK, I have purchased this game through Steam.

But what is EA?

I can't get this game to run at all. :(

Any help would be appreciated.

Happy landings,

Talisman

Update. OK, I now have the game running but trying to set up for VR (Pimax 5k+) is not going well. VR tips anyone?

Also, I keep getting bothered to set up a EA account, what is this shit?

Another update. No longer able to launch game, must have been fluke before.

Looks like I have wasted my money. I could have given this money to charity or donated it to ACG. :veryangry:

Happy landings,

Talisman

Apologies for all of the Thrash. What are your specs? I've never heard of anyone having issues running the game - I thought it was pretty stable. Problems with the asinine console compatable menu definitely...

Also fysa steam gives refunds if it's within a short time

Ok, managed to get in and actually get in a fighter, but now looking how to set up controls.

How the heck do I stop the game and get back to basic menu start point?

Getting over the hump now, lol.

I will sit on ts3 shortly in the hope that someone can come on and give me some tips.

Working the menu is not easy in VR.

Happy landings,

I am in the UK, so BST.

Do folks have to pay for this EA account thing on top of the game?
If so I am out if that is the case and very fed up (to put it politely) if I have purchased a subscription game as this is not made clear.

Can I play without EA account?

Getting the game to run is very hit and miss and now I am not getting the option for VR any more.

It's not a subscription game, but you do need to make an EA account to play MP I believe

How early in the afternoon can you be on TS3 tomorrow? I can potentially get up early and get on there to help you from my TZ

I have got rid of the game and now have a refund.

When I researched the internet the information I found said that there was a regular charge/subscription for an EA account. Therefore, I returned the game as it would not run properly without an EA account. But now you say an EA acount is free?

This has all been a confusing waste of time for me. :(
