PC preload

[ThanatosPa]

Are digital preorders going to be able to preload? I dont want to have to download 8+gig on release date.

Now if there is really going to be another beta event then I guess it wont matter much as I will get the client then, but if not........

no information has been given yet about preloads

You'd assume yes, for multiple reasons that don't need to be explained. As Defy said though, no information as of yet.

I seriously hope they do, my internet only supports a 190kb/s download speed If it was only downloadable on release day it would take another day just to download it and I would be behind D:

I can't remember the last game that didn't do a pre-load. Between relieving stress from the content servers and just bandwidth drain of everyone trying to dl at once, honestly can't imagine there not being pre-load.

I am pretty sure they will. Saves them on band with on release day, but no information on that has been given yet.

My guess: you will be ale to update beta client to release version.

Source: ~10 (or more) beta tests before.

Isn't it steam who decides this? I would think preload would be a req to put your game on steam, since they have to upload it to them before the game goes live so it's on there servers. And like other people say it would also help with bandwidth.

This game isnt made by valve or steam o.O

So what's your point, most digital versions of games have preloads nowadays.
