Epic?

[solops]

Epic just had a platform update. I can no longer play Old World. Anyone else notice problems?

[RedArgo]

Loads fine for me, but I didn't try to actually play.

[Bardolph]

Working for me.

Ok, working now. Neither of my games would work yesterday, even after a reboot and a power-down. Now it all works fine.

Huh.

This is how ineffable religions get started.

Sometimes I'm jealous of people who live in North Korea. When weird crap like this happens, they get to fall back on the easy "America did it" explanation. It must make daily life so much less confusing and mysterious  :(

Working fine for me but some of the new music in the game is a bit jarring.

[Gusington]

^Did the Steam version get the same update? Now I need to hear the new music!

So I'm about three years late to this topic, but since it's still sitting on page #1 (yeah okay, right at the bottom but it's there!) I thought I'd chime in on the original concerns and thoughts about using Epic. For me, I heard enough negatives to stay clear of ever purchasing anything through it. On the flip-side, for the last two years or so I have religiously collected every single free game they have released. I'd say about 60% I either ended up owning already or just had no interest in playing. But then there are gems like TW Warhammer, Remnant, Jurassic Park Evolution etc etc. So for me, Epic represents a never ending supply of free games, but it will never be more than that for me.
