Oooooo hope not, I can deal with 30 but not 100 without uninstalling goodies. Enjoy the beer Captain “Grog” Vanster. 😉

Petalwing, thanks for the 5pmCST heads-up! Hope it sticks this time.

Delayed! What a bummer! I was getting ready for Bloody Marys and rum shots. 😁

They just tweeted an EA launch of maybe noon PST tomorrow.

Thanks for the update! It looks like Hashberry is going to have a [Discord text channel](https://forums.oldtimersguild.com/t/atlas-coming-soon/10956) setup later today which will help.

Has anyone decided what they want their pirate name to be yet? 🙂

Looks like they are still aiming for a 12pm (PST) launch. _Captain Fredrick, Keeper of Souls_… has a ring to it. 😉

Hehehe… for the record, Atlas is now available on Steam. $24.99 until Jan 2nd with promo. 🙂 Having trouble with checkout though, I imagine due to the hordes of purchasers.

You win Atlas!!! 😛 I _almost_ got to checkout, but it’s hanging on a black screen so redoing. There’s now a Discord Atlas text channel and Taramil has an Atlas Discord temp voice channel setup.

I kept getting the Steam error “_There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance_.”

But I FINALLY pushed through it, and just started the download… initial download said it was 96.5 GB but actual seems to be 32 GB … according to Steam it will take me 11 days, 16 hours to download. Hah! Hope that bottleneck is temporary.

Wow, NICE! How much do you charge to deliver it via USB flash drive to all of us? 🕶 Keep us posted on the interior chaos. 🙂
