Remembers wishing there was preload


Oh look

its still downloading so pressing play wouldn't work

its only 92gb, but game requires 150 so maybe its compressed.

Xbox controller charged up. Ready

Wonder if it will be Midnight on 20th, guess I look then.

Greyed out, can't do anything now.

Preloading now! Xbox controller is also charged. Looks like it will bet out at 5PM tomorrow my time, perfect, right after work.

Here are the global release times:

I'm also preloading, though it won't be ready until 10pm my time.

Probably a good thing as Steam is saying the download will take about 9 hours.

Someone pointed out in the comments where that picture was posted:
"Bro that is NOT where Dallas is"
Made me audibly chuckle. Dallas, Mississippi probably.

Only 4 more hours until the review embargo is lifted.

I've only ever gotten a Twitch drop once, it was a few cosmetics for PUBG back in 2017-2018 I believe. I never watch streams, but I think I'll do this because it's free cosmetics. I wonder if they are exclusive to Twitch drops too. I think I can just have it running in the background and I'll still get them.

9 am, thats about same time Diablo 3 opened. Not going to sit up all night waiting for it to tick over.

Instead I just have same sleep pattern as today and wake at 6am instead.

Still have to wait for the day one patch I guess. They could have pre loaded that as well

Its weird, I didn't have auto arrange icons clicked in windows so when i looked at the desktop and showed icons (I don't normally show them, they ruin backgrounds) I couldn't see icon for this game. It had put it in bottom right of screen

I thought steam games went in common/game folder... when I look at the folder now its empty

all the others have files in them. Is that cause its pre loaded or is it copy protection or anti cheat?

 

[Colif]

Steam now showing I didn't download it?? It took 2 hours yesterday and now its showing as an unscheduled download of 92gb and steam showing the folder is empty.

storms today, i will have to download it again lol

 

[Alm]

I had that problem with Counter Strike 2. I downloaded 50gb or something and the next time I turned on my PC, Steam decided that I had to start again.

 

[neogunhero]

That's very strange. I wonder if it's just pre-load protection? Not sure how all of that really works, honestly. I'll check my PC when I get home.

 

[Colif]

No, its cause its a Pre load

Decryption/Extraction Failure: Preloads are encrypted. When the game becomes ready to play, Steam must extract them. If this process crashes or fails, Steam may default to showing "Install" again.

I won't do anything now until 9am and see what happens 🙂

I assume its stored in another folder until then. Probably is compressed... I was just curious about install size and 0kb wasn't the answer I expected after downloading it for two hours.

 

[Colif]

Just a guess, but I suspect they can't pre load the day one patch until the game is actually installed on the PC. It probably happens with most games. I am not normally this early...

I really should have looked at what game is before buying lol. Its a graphics test for me lol.

Wonder when Adrenaline drivers release, wonder if that news was real.
