Didn't even know this was an issue. I got it the day of release and it was only 70GB.

That is a testament to how quickly Monolith resolved the issue. For the most part, only those who pre-loaded the game were affected.

In other news DRM is getting in the way of performance testing, locked out of the game for the next while because of too many hardware changes.

And here I am playing it on my xbox one because the windows store simply WONT run it. It "attempts" to start but then fails, not a black screen or anything just a quick popup windows that immediately vanishes (like a quick run command on windows).

So....oh well lol. I'd play it on my 50inch tv anywho and the game looks great on the xbox one anywho, but the option to play on my pc would be nice to actually work...going to i guess reinstall it tomo when i go to work.

Yes very quick indeed! I had to manually download the 4k content myself. I have this game on both PC and PS4(game share with a friend on PS) and the 4k content on PS4 was about 23GB, but the game itself was only 37GB. So it's interesting to see that the PC is at nearly twice the install size. I wonder if they removed the assets for Consoles that they didn't need?

Wow that sucks. I didn't even know the game had DRM! I don't believe the last game did either, which is interesting they never mentioned it.

Shadow of War uses Denuvo DRM, fat lot of good that did though. Shadow of Mordor just had the basic Steamworks DRM.

All games have the basic steam one. Unless they go 3rd party.
Denuvo isn't bad. It helps them get some assurance, which is fine by me. People want to cheat the world, at least it prevents some of them. You can't blame them for wanting to try
