I am on a old ass machine, a 1070 and old ass i5. I had no issues except loading new areas(aka never visited before), which took a couple seconds to load and then it was back to fine. Though if your recommended specs say 970, it really should be smooth transition no matter what. Really that was the only "issue", which went away after the first visit and had no impact on actually playing the game.
Stuttering in town was their servers it seemed and that went away for me after the first day.

Open public play was allowed in this condition with pre-order advertisements. The condition can be assumed as acceptable based on this alone
That's the time you fix it. BEFORE you let people test drive it to see if they want to buy it.
Closed beta is sizable, and they didn't address it then when it should have been.
It's all beyond them.
You don't unlock the car dealership unless you have drivable cars on the lot to look at.
Marketing 101.
Unless you actually believe this weekend was the beta? I know you're not that stupid.

How much software development have you done? Is it more or less than the amount of meth you've done?

Some people played through Vanguard launch with only minimal issues.
If the large majority only had some stuttering then sure it'll be fine-- but based on posts I've seen here, combined with some YouTube coverage going into extensive detail about it, and then my own experience this weekend, I just don't think that's the case.

Closed beta has been going for a year now.
This weekend was about who's buying the game. Not testing anything.

So just guessing, got it. Maybe the pessimistic guess. Though the first few days are going to be shit no matter what. Will have to see.
I do wonder how many downloaded the high res textures without knowing, since its default checked. Pretty dumb, should be off and let those who can handle it, check the box to download them.

You have no idea whether it's a Blizzard problem or an AMD/Nvidia problem.

I can confirm this on my end. Don't have a 4k monitor so didn't need the textures. Only performance hit I experienced was when changing zones I got the rubber banding thing, which is 99% server side. (Hell one time I couldn't even change zones it was just invisible wall, had to go back into town and then go back out again).

Can't be, remember Jay said based on posts here and YT, the vast majority could barely run it, its performance was as bad as vanguard.

During the chicken sandwich test, someone here on FOH even got bluescreened.
3080 TI's got bricked.
Its amazing how a week goes by, and now everything is fine. Some gold fish memories here. Many players had technical issues.

Wow, someone got an Nvidia driver blue-screen, playing a game that hadn't had game ready drivers for it released. WEIRD.

3080 TI's getting bricked is 100% the 3080's shitty soldering. Happened to people with New World too when certain screens have uncapped FPS limits (most loading/black screens for games). Friend has his fucked during New World and got a new one because they were all faulty.
