Is it multiplayer or single player only?

Yeah, but I am surprised they can't compress better. Or maybe it's just got that much variety in the game....

Oh c'mon, KFC is actually legit chicken. It's dredged and pressure fried fresh in the store. And, most stores have a sign showing where their current chicken batch is FRESH from(aside from Alaska and Hawaii, it's standard for the chicken to not have been frozen).
Their bread and "mashed" potatoes though is a different story.

I thought you were being sarcastic at first but then you commented on their mashed 'taters and I lost you. Their mashed potatoes and cole slaw are the only reasons to go there anymore. Maybe their biscuits, too...maybe.
Ummm, their Mac and Cheese is fire.

It must not take long to level to 25 if these are the spawn times. Otherwise Blizzard are assholes.

You can get to the main menu by running the exe with -launch flag.

I'll probably fall into this. I've been playing Dragonflight in overdrive for a couple months now and I'm starting to feel it.
The skill tree looks good. That's a big thing for me. Branching out and trying different synergies. I'm so over cookie cutter builds and "meta".

There is nothing but a login which returns server offline.
Someone on Reddit got into a queue a few hours ago though. Doubt they got in.

So question to the people who ordered using the KFC app. Did you have to make a KFC account to get the beta key? Or just ordered as guest and the beta key eventually showed up in an email?

I ordered as a guest but had to fill in my name and email at checkout.
The code was emailed about 15 min after placing the order.

Does this mean we get path tracing? Why would such a non demanding title get DLSS 3.0 - not like I am complaining

Who said it isn't demanding at max settings with ray-tracing? We've only seen min specs for 30fps 720p upscaled so far
. At max on 4k with DLAA or DLDSR plus ray-tracing, it may be demanding enough. EDIT: Also, consider lower end cards (4050, 4060, etc. ) or people wanting high refresh 4k.

I can't lock 120fps with an open loop cooled and highly OC'd 3080Ti and 5800X in D3 in higher GR's. I play 4K.
Not sure I would read too much into those specs. I'm sure those are simple "play the game" specs.

Interesting, thanks! I will be waiting for ray tracing patch before I start playing it. Really hope it happens by end of the year!Who said it isn't demanding at max settings with ray-tracing? We've only seen min specs for 30fps 720p upscaled so far
