Hi everyone,  it's Rich here! I just wanted to put together a quick post explaining how to access Digital Foundry content as it's not super-clear right now and we're getting a lot of questions about it from newcomers!

So,  not much really happens here on the Patreon page - the content you're looking for is all located at www.digitalfoundry.net. To access our downloads, simply use the login button on the top-right, which should prompt you for your Patreon login or just direct you immediately to the relevant permissions. From there, once you've logged in, you're fully good to go. Download away!

We do need to get some tech work done on the page to improve things, and my personal bugbear is the lack of search functionality. I'd recommend using Google here. If you enter site:digitalfoundry.net <search term here> you'll likely find what you need sooner rather than later. Essentially all of our content is stored on digitalfoundry.net, going all the way back to later 2016 when PS4 Pro launched. 

Hopefully that makes things a bit clearer, but I'd also like to take this opportunity to flag up the Digital Foundry Discord server, which is the place to be for chatting with the rest of the community and for more direct conversations with the DF team. It's been a bit of a difficult time for us recently - simply owing to the sheer amount of work we need to get done! - but getting feedback,  support and some great ideas from the community has been such a big help. So do dig into that too - Discord access is part and parcel of the Patreon package and I'm really pleased with the way it's going!

That's all for now, but hopefully this all makes things easier for our newcomers to enjoy the content the way it's meant to be seen! And once again, thanks so much for all of your support!

As I read this in your voice I was genuinely expecting it to end "thanks for making it to the end of this post, if indeed you did".

I think simply having the main page displaying the latest videos first would already be a great improvement. Maybe also providing a link for the high-quality version below each youtube video (I'm not sure maybe it's already the case). I must admit for most videos I'm lazy and simply watch youtube even though I'm a patreon ^^ Keep up the good work !

Hello, Rich! It's good to see you here. I glad to support DF work even further

I find it easy to find the videos I want to watch simply with Ctrl-F then entering my search term.

Would love a main page with videos ordered by date! Just realized I'm doubling up on a comment here.

Thank you for all the hard work. Been following your YT channel for years.

Great channel but unfortunately the paid for videos aren't as high quality as I hoped. Still lots of compression artifacts and colour banding. I don't know if its the capture cards DF are using or you just need to tweak your video encoding settings but personally it's not worth the dollars. Keep up the good work. Your YouTube videos are still great to listen to even if I can't bear the look at them. I thought it was YT that was causing the muddy video but it seems the source is less than optimal.

Well, the new Spider-Man remastered video is much better quality to the previous videos I downloaded. I don't know if you guys changed anything but if you did; keep doing it! :)

Hello DF. Should I be watching in h264 or h265, ideally ?

Eric Hurst

Ideally, I’d recommend h.265. Smaller download for just as high quality. But if you have trouble playing it back on whatever you’re watching on, go with h.264.

I know that $5 is a pretty reasonable amount and getting the discord and the downloadable videos are great. But is there a world where patreons could get the videos BEFORE Youtube rather than sometime after they are posted?

Where's the newest Control PS5 VS XBOX Series video? it wasn't uploaded to Digitalfoundry.net !

Just became a member today. Been watching and reading Digital Foundry for years now and figured it's about time I show some love. Keep up the good work.

So how do I access the Discord server? I've linked Patreon and Discord but it hasn't appeared? Help!

Hey Michael, Will here! Sometimes it doesn't work the first time, for reasons that we've never been able to adequately explain. Try unlinking and relinking, that normally sorts it. If it doesn't work, please send me a message on Twitter (@wsjudd) or on Discord (I'm VelocityWill#0603). You can also ask for help from Patreon support, which may be more knowledgeable! :)
