Will there be a preload for the 150GB?

Does a preload come for the 150GB? I dont have a fast internet connection here in germany.

It need many hours to download this game for me

The countries in the world with the fastest average download speeds are around 22-28 Megabytes / Second, so about half of that. Most highly industrialized countries are between 16-22 Megabytes / Second average download speed. Much of the rest of the world is far slower.

So, no, clearly it is not a 30-45 minute download for most people. I'm going to guess that for most people this will be a 5 hour download.

I just tested my internet and roughly my download is 89.4 mbps and upload is around 30.4 mbps

I think the actual size of the download for the game is something like around 90gb, from what I hear. The rest is assuming how much content you want to allow to save as it streams, which you can limit. I could be wrong.

I saw a video of a guy playing who said it downloaded 3gb worth of streaming stuff in 10 hours of playing. That is visual stuff that you don't have to keep unless you just fly the same spots and want it cached. Still, 3gb worth of streaming in 10 hours seems like you don't really have to have that fast of a connection. I have crappy internet, and still can download a gb in a few minutes. Since I don't plan on sticking around in one spot, I will probably limit the amount it saves to maybe 10gb and just let it stream as it goes.

alpha was 130, MS says keep 150, so yeah keep 150 free. BASE.

Let us hope rolling cache actually works at launch...

Not for 90% of people lol if its 150 GB it'll take roughly 4 - 5 hours for me. Its gonna be less since usually devs say a lot more in requirements. its mostly a streaming based game (sim) so I would expect something around 100 GB for the base game

I asked something.

Go to school and ask a teacher what means "complaining".

Thank you child.

Bis is just Bis. Safe to ignore. Good target to poke and prod at. They are squishy. They try to be troll but are just teddy bear. Trust me.

Poke and prod at Bis and ignore anything they say. Works for everyone.

Bis is a bis after all.

when I saw this post while at work, I thought “what?! can pre-load already “ and can’t wait to go home but it was something else. False hope. LUL
