The digital version was released on 7 July. To access it you'll need to log-in to your account on the Wave website, then locate your order which will now include a download link. If you ordered without creating an account, then you'll just need to create one and ask Wave to add your order to the new account.

Oh right I had no idea! I do have an account but might have preordered this game as a guest checkout

Thanks for the info

Ive tried dreampi and pc to dc but I’m not even reaching the reality jump login screen
So I’m able to connect and play the game but only if I reset my WiFi router right before connecting, anyone got any ideas what the problem could be?

Galaxypod have you check to see if you have an IP conflict?

So my dreampi shows up on my router with the end of the IP being .106 but another ip using .98 at the end also goes on and offline when I turn on/off my pi, is my pi using both IPs?

if the DMZ is set to 98 then this is the problem

I set my DMZ to .106 and it fixed the 2 IP issue thanks! I’m still having the issue with driving strikers though, I’m able to connect and browse planet web and other games like Dee Dee planet connect without ressetting my router

No! Don't do that! Never put the Pi in DMZ! Your problem is that the Pi is getting the .98 IP in the first place. The only reason you would have two IPs on the Pi is if you're using both Wi-Fi and ethernet at the same time. If you're using ethernet, just disable Wi-Fi using the wificonfig utility. I don't know if Wi-Fi is what's using the .98 IP though. The best option is to go on your router and change the DHCP range to exclude .98 (e.g. make it something like X.X.X.2 - X.X.X.97), that way it won't assign .98 to any devices on your network.

Alternatively, some routers have an IP reservation option. If you see your Raspberry Pi listed in the connected devices, you can select it and reserve an IP other than .98 for it.

I didn’t do DMZ on the pi I set the DMZ on the router settings, I had set the DMZ on my router to .98 because the connection guide said it was the most likely to be assigned to my pi, after changing that setting the .98 IP doesn’t connect with my dreampi anymore. I can only use WiFi because I’m using a pi zero w, but I had the same connection issue with driving strikers when using pc-dc connection.

Edit:I also was having this problem before I set up DMZ on my router, I just tried that to see if it would help
