If a game started development in 2011, would it have conceivably been able to be built from the ground up with this UE4.5?

yup, he's right. What youre looking for is your network setup. Wifi is always going to be a bit more dodgy than a direct connection.
Fixed connections like cables will always be better and faster than wireless.
However, the problem with streaming could be that your host system isn't powerful enough to encode and send the data to your client while also running the game - or your laptop isn't powerful enough to decode it at speed. Try setting all settings to the lowest and see if you still have the same trouble. If you do, it's the wireless.
Man, that bundle... "Here, only 30$ for 3 early access games!"
In Home Streaming - as the name suggests - has nothing to do with your actual internet speed but your network bandwith at home. Generally, Ethernet connections are more stable but you might also want to take a look at the horsepower of your laptop since it needs to be rather decent to be capable of a silky smooth streaming experience.

Pay $28.95 to get this bundle and save 60% before price increases!
Also some new free pack for Ghost Recon Phantoms.
You get two games that look crap, that crap-looking game Gala's been trying to shove down our throats for like six months and a filler album! I'm about to buy five copies of this bundle.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Dear Bundle Sites,
If you're going to use Enhanced Steam's "Early Access" banners, feel free to actually use the proper files, which can be found here.
What you do:

It's on the friends window too, and looks even worse there.
Blimey a crossover cable that is old school. Since Twisted Pair cables became the standard you don't really need them anymore so a regular Cat3 patch cable or greater that has come with every router, hub or switch for donekys years would be fine. I haven't tried plugging in one PC directly to another but Steam does need one PC to be connected to the internet for In Home Streaming to work.
Here's a recommendation though. Check if your router is 1000 BASE-T or Gigabit capable, because if it's an older 100 BASE-T or Fast Ethernet router that will be a big issue in terms of latency regardless what cables you use. Outside of fiber routers a Gigabit router is quite rare directly from an ISP even today. A cheap (and in my experience better) solution is to go invest in a Gigabit capable switch and some Cat5e or Cat6 cables (depending on length you need to run them and if there's anything electrical in the way might want to get shielded cables too). They're quite cheap and something like this or this will do the trick nicely as you plug your Ethernet into one port and the other 4 distribute it to the connected devices.
Bear in mind your internet connection quality has no bearing on your stream quality but your internal network connections needs to be up to snuff.

Wow I just realised how stupid I am for thinking about internet speed for a network issue. I'm tired goddamn it.
Anyways, you guys seem to be saying the same thing about it reying on the type of connection and the power of the PC/laptop.
A little spec rundown (if it helps):
- 780 Ti
- 3570K
- 16GB 2400 MHz RAM
Etc...
So I don't think that's the problem.
But Turfster I think you could be right about the laptop being underpowered...
I mean... Could it be that I'm being a complete stupid idiot and trying to stream games at ultra settings...
It is, isn't it...
So a buddy of mine sent me this link. Here's an official post on why the AMD codes are a bit delayed.

Well, can the laptop run complex 1080p video in fullscreen without hitching?
Simplified, that's what in home streaming is closest to on the client end.
Finally got around to messing with Banzai Pecan, but the damn game keeps randomly crashing after a couple of minutes of fighting. (Error report mentions an mmf module, so I'm guessing it's a Multimedia Fusion game?) Hope they get the issue sorted once the game's Greenlit, because when it's not crashing, it seems like a fun single-line brawler with an appealingly tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.

So you're saying there's a chance? Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

still such a poor job of matching it with the steam store page

Look at the price of the bundle. Though for EU it's cheaper than buying the game on Steam.
If you mean codes with pre-order goodies then no. Either they have special codes that contains the goodies, or they are separate codes for goodies

True. For some reason I was thinking the pre-load was bigger than it actually is.

So.
Activating a restricted gift via VPN? The same as buying via VPN in a cheap country or no problem?

Well we already knew it was about 14 gigs when the 360 version leaked days ago, and it was confirmed by... Stallion? earlier.
Kinda glad it's not another 50 gig monster, to be honest.

Less risky, but still riskier than usual. I wouldn't make a habit of it and it would have to be a last resort scenario myself.
I have trouble understanding what you are trying to ask here exactly .
UE 4.5 update will be released next week.
I'm sure we will get the codes.
eventually. Surely they won't scam us out of the codes. lol
How many gaffers does it take to flip the world's biggest table?
It's actually not that difficult. If you can eliminate his
bodyguards
fight him, get his health down and then brand him when his health is low.
There are 4.

LoL! Yeah, I was like, "What an amazing deal!"
But it was the price of each game.
Wow, thank you for the info and suggestions!
My router is definitely neither of those. It's not an older router either.
This guy: http://www.telstra.com.au/internet/download/image/internet-bigpond-cable-new-modem-6jul.png
But cabling won't be possible as the router sits downstairs and my PC sits in my room upstairs.
Yup. It's a 3-4 year old Alienware but damn it was underpowered even brand new. I bought it and became obsolete before I could even blink. Freaking laptop GPUs. Never again.
Anyway, cheers for the rapid responses guys. Really helpful. Appreciate it a lot.

I really liked ARES and never understood the hate it got when it was released/in a bundle.
Okey kokey so how do you get an internet connection to your PC?
The revenge thing for other players in Mordor is quite the nice touch. Also I'm loving the battle system. The more powerful I get, the more fun it is to get into an orgy of orcs with Captains popping in and slaughtering them all. I got so sidetracked by racking up Power and killing the Captains that I didn't progress much in the story though.

Pretty easy.
Just brand one of his bodyguards(If he has more than one you may want to brand/kill those too, just make sure you have at least one branded though) and then get him to betray the war chief. Permitting your branded captain lives and you kill the chief, he'll become the new war chief, still branded. A damn sight easier than having to mess around grabbing a warchief to brand them when they always have loads of orcs around them. The betrayal missions are also generally easier than the generic attack the warchief mission you get. Sometimes it does pop up and let you brand them just as you're about to kill them without even grabbing. However, it doesn't seem very consistent.

PLASTICA-MAN has been saying devs making current-gen games in UE3 should have either started making them in UE4 or should port them from UE3 into UE4. He's said that ithe latter is relatively easy to do:
I'm asking 1) when was UE4 available to devs, 2) how much work would it take to move a (modified or otherwise) UE3 game into UE4 and 3) why mention UE4.5 in regards to these games unless it was available 1-3 years ago when they started development?
Is it just me (hurhur) or am i seeing dots in the background?

That's pretty apropos to the situation at hand.
