Posted November 10, 2015 So I pre-ordered Fallout 4, and it's supposed to come out tomorrow. However, Steam says I can play it already. Should I do it?

Posted November 10, 2015 I've played games days before release because of reasons and I haven't gotten banned. Plus, it's their fault if you can play it. No reason that you will get banned unless you hack it to work.

Posted November 10, 2015 So I think it is in fact my graphics drivers, but I cannot update them... Have you rebooted your system since installing the game/day 1 update? Don't know yet if it matters on the PC, but on the PS4 you have to restart the system after installing the update to get the game to work correctly. I would then completely uninstall the driver using that driver uninstall program (AMD has their own clean install utility) and reinstall it. If that doesn't solve the issue then try reverting back to a previous version.

Posted November 10, 2015 It's because of my stupid 290 with awful tech support, the bios is corrupt and the only driver that works is 13.4 Flash the stock BIOS back to the card and then flash any updates. If you do it properly then it shouldn't have any issues. I had to flash a BIOS update to my Sapphire R9 280 OC Edition to get it to work correctly.
