Let us Preload Almost 95-99% of game.

[LegendaryDS]

So it doesn't get Cracked, If that makes sense.

They can encrypt it and let you download 100% too.

So you're telling me Game getting cracked is not the main reason and it's something else....?

Correct. Cracking the game thru a Steam preload is not feasible.

For a preload, Steam downloads the distribution under very strong encryption, and does not distribute the keys. When the game is released, a very small update is made available to download, and that update contains the key to decrypt, and starts the decryption process. Once all of the distribution files are decrypted (which requires disk i/o and CPU, but no network), the game is ready to play.

We don't know why the publisher is not offering preloads on Steam. Some have speculated that the issue is a fear of the game getting cracked, but for Steam preloads, that should not technically be possible. Other reasons might be that Epic game store does not support preloads, and maybe for some reason the publisher does not want to have preloads on one store if they can't offer preloads on all of the stores - GSC has not said anything about 'why' no preloads on Steam, only that no PC store would receive preloads.

Nah It's not about that, Not everyone has Super Fast internet that can download the game within minutes.

Even for me, it might take 5-6 Hours. It just feels good to download the game early and Just Play it on release you know.

I am personally very sympathetic to people wanting a preload. Preloads are a feature that is not trivial to implement, yet the feature exists - clearly the Steam service operators feel that the feature is valuable enough to develop and maintain, and many games on Steam do use the preload feature.

GSC game world isn't making an official statement about this despite all the requests. Of course people will be mad.

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gr4yob/official_confirmation_that_pc_wont_have_a_preload/

There is no preload on PC, already confirmed. So you are genuinely mad at the devs for nothing <- Took met less than 5 seconds to Google.

Preload is not an option for 98% of all games released on Steam so crying about it won't help much.

[Rootbeer Safety Team]

They have already stated that the decision was made. And when asked about it for the next two days. They apologized and confirmed it's still a no.

Afraid there's nothing more to be said or done at this point. Early loading won't be a thing

We're asking for a *REASON WHY* there won't be a pre-load.

What is the reason? Is it a state secret?

I don't work for GSC. I don't know aby more than what was posted on their discord.

The people who work for gsc. That is all they were at liberty to say. If they were allowed to say more. I'm sure they would have
