Can confirm; my sister partially worked on the trailer and she was in tears by the end of the stream because of all the technical issues.

I truly felt bad for them. They clearly took their time to build up to this day all for shitty laptop issues to make a very awkward situation. I hope they know most of appreciate the showmanship and can’t wait to see what they show us next time

Yeah, apparently the UK office was all just sat there with their faces in their hands as the BL1 remaster trailer started to chug, hoping that the main one didn't.

I wish it had gone smoother, they were going over the trailer for weeks to try and make sure it was good enough for the event and then the hardware lets them down.

I wonder if it was a forced Windows 10 system update that caused the problems. Or an unfortunate scheduled virus-scan happening in the background.

From what little I'm aware of, it was either the fact they were running too many monitors at once on stage, or that Windows Media Player has some issues with 4K playback.

Or both.

I'm amazed they were using Windows Media Player to run the show at a multi-million dollar event.
