For context, Larian Studio founder Swen Vincke predicted that the game could reach 100,000 peak concurrent users during its debut period, and that was a fairly optimistic prediction. I work in IT, and really feel for those folks. I hope they designed their infrastructure to scale!

And that’s only Steam, not including GOG, or the influx of PS5 users next month. Let’s take it to 1 million!

    Hell yes. Proton is huge, and Big Picture Mode is basically a console. I feel you on the controller support. With your encouragement, I finally connected a PS4 controller to my PC, and SEAMLESSLY explored a hostile area as a conjured cat. Amazing. (Still not giving up M+K, though…) Cheers!

      LOL well Larian made sure we were both happy with K&M or controller.

      Did your conjured animal get attacked? My summoned quasit has invisibility.

        No, my cat passed without going hostile, but it was a L4 Ogre, so, ya know. I even meowed at her; she responded, but did not attack.

        I haven’t even tried my quasit yet!
