Pre-install???
Do you think that Steam will allow us to preinstall the game 1-3 days before the game officially releases?

there's no preload and it's a dev decision, nothing to do with steam

Pre-downloading requires very advanced technology, but the developer does not have this technology, so pre-downloading is not possible

What technology would that be?

"Advanced technology" lmao 🤣

Special highly advanced tech. It's kept under wraps by the NWO but trust me you'll notice the connections if you look hard enough. EA games for example is a code for Earth Apocolypse games. They literally wanna destroy the world with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games.

Ps and Xbox are getting preloads just us pc players get shafted with and waste part of our early access that we paid for complete BS

for some people pre download is not as good as downloading at release time. Thats because the game has to apply patch to the entire game and if the game size is 100gb +, then it takes little more or less than an hour, depending on your hardware. On the other hand if you have fast download speeds, downloading the game at release time is way faster.
Depends on you and your system.

only some selected few can pre-install afaik, there was a post about that, when did you preorder, depending on the date you might be able to!

No pre-install.
mine began downloading the game yesterday.
And got a warning shortly after that it will be deleted again due to no pre download allowed,

(how to activate it? you may ask. I did click download now several as in many several times)

narg just not them. Just wait till everyone with deluxe starts on the 7th.

I will bet 100 on they did not count for the massive traffic that day even probely seeing steam crash a few times.

If you were here the day gta V released i bet you remember the store page crashing the app along with people clicking download.

Can you do this?
- Get your external HDD,
- Install game on a computer with good internet speed
- move game folders to HDD
- back home, move game folders back to your sad-slow-internet-speed computer
- detect game then verify files

verify would be much faster ofc, then you have the game

harry potter legacy requirement:
RECOMMENDED: SSD harddisk.

HDD will take even longer time with its slow read write.
