Is your disk at 100% while unpacking the files?

unpacking speed is based on your pc not on the games end,maybe try clearing up some hard drive space?

This, my unpacking went so fast, I didn't even see the "unpacking" text on the status of the download.

no, it is not steam's fault.

Unpacking the game files is like installing a game, it's hardware dependent, not Steams fault or Deep Silver or the Jews or whoever else people blame when a game doesn't work.

As for "24 hours to unpack" I assume you're getting angry over the ETA you're getting. Well Steams "time to finish downloading" estimates are notoriously inaccurate. It told me it would take a day to unpack and did it in an hour.

Might have also been because I was playing Wargame Red Dragon to pass the time -_-

It finally unpacked it the early hours of this morning.

Took around 5-10 mins on an SSD, with a good CPU.

Fallout 4 took around the same time.

You should look into getting a new drive. Under normal circumstances, the unpacking process shouldn't take no more than ~30 minutes (give or take). Usually anywhere between 5-30 minutes at least. If it takes longer than that; you've got an issue on your end..
Could also be if you don't have room for the unpacking process, then that makes it take waaaay longer.

When pre-loading; you need twice the space (+a bit extra).
If a game requires 30GB, then you need 60GB in total (+a little headway. I'd say at least 65GB in total).
The reason for this, is because while unpacking, you're effectively storing 2x the data, right up until the end, when it removed the pre-load data.

So yeah.. If you barely have space available; you're looking at something that's gonna take ages.

Might as well just download it after the release, if you got a fast connection and you're lacking space on your drive. I would have done that, if I had to wait several hours, that's for sure..
