Is this normal? No disk usage when preloading

I'm preloading the game. Network activity is fine, but there's no disk usage and the progress bar at the bottom is stuck at 0%.

[BEEP!]

That's normal your notice it'l be downloading it just fine did the same thing for me and it said 0% till it was done.

yup its normal for every preloading game

So every game download works in 2 Stages.
First the compressed data is transferred and cached on your PC
Then that cached data gets decompressed and written to the actual folder on your PC

Preloads essentially just perform the previous action of fetching the download cache without unpacking it, usually in an encrypted format so people cant just sift through the data early

its only dowload file in "package" so when the game come out its will "extract" the files and install it so its normal.
