[Paweł Szczypior]

Internet speeds are usually in megabits per second. I think you mean you have 100 mbps internet, than that translates to 12.5 MBytes per second. This game is like 100,000 MBytes.

100,000 / 12.5 = 8000 seconds or 133.3 minutes or 2.2 hours
That is assuming there isn't any reduction to download speeds due to internet traffic being busy due to a lot of people downloading at the same time.

If you have a recent CPU, not too old, then I think you should be able unpack the encrypted pre-load in less than 30 minutes but I'm estimating.

Better to preload if you have good cpu

[DRunkCoWBoy]

a game this size will take 10 years to unpack if you preload, even with my I9. If I do end up pre-ordering I will download on release.

just upgraded to a i7-13700k @ 5.3 and dd5 6600 ram looking forward to unpackin

I pre-loaded a game with size 30 GB and it only took me 7 or 8 minutes to start playing.

Imagine being presented with this problem and needing to ask the public for help. I personally can't get there, its just too weird.

honestly i preload,less people downloading the game when its not out so less issues with the download servers.

I think it's more likely due to your setup or your crummy internet

The servers are full of downloads, you can try to pre-download but the wait would be long anyway. Or at least this is happening to me.

I wouldn't talk with a 2070 gpu. And no oled yet still on 1080p? Yea who's crummy again? "lol"

It will run smoothly!
But it's funny how mad you are about downloading.
Besides, who says it has to be Oled?

Yeah, about right. I usually never pre-load as I don't want to download the rest and it isn't playable. But considering the game is THIS big. I'm taking the gamble.
