Can’t beat the price of free. No parts of the game are missing, just for all of you patient folks.

Quick note: It is a remaster of the original game with the base game and the DLC expansions that were released for it, visual updates and a higher level cap and possible other tweaks. Some reports of stuttering and poor performance.

    Anyone have tips for getting through the checkout process on Firefox? There are a bunch of CORS violations that I don’t want to simply disable CORS to bypass.

      I’ve had trouble with Firefox on a few sites now. PSN is another, and some random bookshop too.

      Nothing is tested with it. I’ll use it for general browsing, but if I’m spending money, I feel like Chrome is a safer option so it doesn’t snag on anything.

      The web standards are now “do what Chrome does because we’re not testing in anything else”

        Cross-Origin Resource Sharing

        Basically, it’s a browser feature that prevents access to third party sites unless the third party explicitly opts in. This helps prevent certain types of XSS attacks, crypto-mining attacks, DOS attacks, etc.

        Essentially, let’s say you load epicgames.com, and the page tries to access steampowered.com for some reason. The browser then asks steampowered.com if it’s allowed to access it from epicgames.com, and if not, it blocks the request. This means steampowered.com needs explicit support or that browser will bail.

        CORS isn’t super complicated, but browser implementations can vary so if a page doesn’t make the request properly or the server isn’t configured correctly, the browser will bail on the request. That’s what’s happening to Firefox, and usually it’s the third party server that’s at fault.

      I don’t know whether you have the same issue but I got stuck on the EULA page because there’s a birth date selector behind it and they made both modal. The date picker is active but the EULA is on top so you can’t do anything. Tried in both Firefox & Chrome.

      The solution for me was to just go back to the store page while signed in, choose a conforming birthdate and then the EULA page worked normally.

      Checkout page is just badly written

      Works fine for me, and I’ve done it from Android and Linux. I have a handful of extensions, the most relevant is uBlock Origin. If you have more, consider disabling those in case something is tampering with the request.

      Then again, it could just be the server being borked and you’ll need to wait and try again. Maybe try from a different device? (e.g. your phone or PC)

      I remember having that issue, and I think waiting was the only solution. Kinda sucks though since it’s a 24-hour deal.
