The Outer Worlds w/ All DLC free until 26 Dec 2023 4PM UTC - eviltoast

8AM PT, 11AM ET.

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.

      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.
