Full game download

[lutten]

Was wondering should i delete the bata before the full install??

[Zoomba]

Do it, don't do it, doesn't matter at on since the "update" to release is supposed to be essentially a full re-download anyway.

If you've ever used mods, definitely delete those, uninstalling won't help with that.

[wpmaura]

yes its radicaly different so its not like its going to help with the download size aparently. I am hoping they have a pre load night before.

The map with timezones is up on the launcher, there's screenshots of it around this forum.

So far there has been no mention of any sort of preload. However Larian did post the global launch date/time:

August 3rd - 8am PST/11am EST, 4pm BST, 5pm CEST

You don't have to uninstall the Early access. But it will not hurt anything if you do. Early access will be updated to the full version when you launch the game at your local time on Aug. 3rd when it is available.

This literally tells me.. the release times of the game. Not if there is a predownload or anything lol

It will redownload most of the 1st act files. So if you don't delete the early access version, you'll probably get the full version a few (reallyreallyreally few) minutes earlier than if you delete ea completely. So it doesn't really matter.

No word on any kind of pre-load. Don't expect it.

Thank you.

No preload is really preposterous for people who do not have optical fibre.
I got it so I'm all good I'll download it in a few minutes but Larian really dropped the ball here. They are in Belgium which isn't a country really well covered with fibre so they know about this problem. Even during their streams you could see they were not using a fibre connection and yet no preload for those people.
All of this for what? In case a group of people managed to unlock the game and play a few hours prior to launch.

I don't have optical fibre, I'm going to suffer... I pray larian that they announce a pre-installation
