And it begins...

[c.ryo]

The game is released now. Downloading already.

[Jean-Roch Coignet]

download speed for you guys? mine is 1.7-2.0 mb/sec

[qwertman]

people have been downloading for hours

[KittySN]

I'm getting my hardcopy delivered. Something about downloading a 20GB game on Steam on release day gives me shivers.

The preload was sublime though. I had a good couple of MB/s, constantly.

could agree more. though my university's network can download off steam at a rate of over 50mb/s.

Take no chances!

[kAISER9701]

hmm. My decrypting seems stuck at 74%...

[Acelondoner]

I just popped in the game (disk version) and apparently its downloading 15gb from steam! WTF! I thought if I had the disk version, I could install the game from the disk.

[Nadessico]

i want to know what i'm downloading, i've got the cd version ffs XD

[Ahiga]

Wait, it's still pre-purchase on steam. Are you just preloading it, or is it actually out?

[Maizel]

give it a few.

[wolfbane751]

wait people are already playing the game? or just installing it

[SuperPippo]

Don't worry, go back to your disk drive and instal the game again.
It should say something like:

Play now
Re-instal
uninstal

uninstal the game and try installing it again, it should now instal from the disk.


I had the same problem, its because the steam servers are busy.

[deckon]

dude you guys did something wrong cause it shouldn't download albeit maybe a small patch or something....I have Nappy on disk and I remember steam insisting downloading the whole game rather than installing from the disk. After a couple of retries I managed to get it installed from DVD

[RTW warrior]

I've also got the cd version, 'tis bloody annoying this downloading lark.

[kAISER9701]

Oooh! Done! I'm on my way now!

[Maizel]

Decrypting preload here. So as soon as Steam decides to light a fire under it, I'll be playing the game.

[SuperPippo]

To all the people who are downloading the game even though they popped in the disk:


"Don't worry, go back to your disk drive and instal the game again.
It should say something like:

Play now
Re-instal
uninstal

uninstal the game and try installing it again, it should now instal from the disk.

Downloading at my maximum speed of 1,3 Mb/s, at 65% now. I'm trying to study while it's downloading but I couldn't handle it and now I'm just lurking the forums writing nonsense.

It took a combined time of 14 + Hours to download the demo, and that was only 6GBs. I always prefer a hardcopy over something digital, as I have lost digital stuff in the past (mostly MP3s), so that - combined with huge download times - has put me off digital downloads for the near future.
