View Stats:
Slow, moderate, and fast speed internet havers ASSEMBLE! How long do you reckon its gonna take you to finish downloading this game?
I'm downloading at like 1.4mb/s iirc so its gonna take me a full day (and 1 hour) of uninterrupted downloading to get it.

What about the rest of you?

It all depends on if Steam crashes, regardless of the speed.

Has anyone actually confirmed the 122gb filesize isn't just the HD size and when they said download size they didn't just misspeak? 150gb recommended for the game files and save space from a 122gb download... That's garbage compression.

Also steam is giving me 6mbs at the moment... So maybe 7 hours if that filesize is accurate. And steam server don't turn to molasses when everyone hits the button.

I mean you're not wrong. If thats the case then Fit-Girl does better compression than that.

Yeah I feel like they aren't taking compression into account. Steam always compress installs so it seems unlikely they wouldn't in this case. But it clearly creates a lot of talk.

Calculator says 16 min but that's theoretical it would be about 20 30 min.
1 gbit up and down

700-800 MBs so less than an hour.

3 mbit. And considering it unlocks at 5 PM my time... Probably only gonna get to start tomorrow.

I dont think it will be 170GB download, maybe 130 and then unpacking, but it will take me min 6 hours nonetheless :(

As a 970 Mb/s acquirer I think my post is going to get hated on :steamsad: but i've been waiting for this day for the past 5 years.

1 GB speed is what I pay for realistically, it will download at approx 600-700 mb/s hopefully within 30 mins
Lemiru Aug 3, 2023 @ 7:34am 
it's literally impossible for me to tell as my internet can't even have stable download speeds but in literally perfect conditions it would take at least 14 hours. But the more realistic answer would be probably something over 50
