wtf my download speeds have plummeted

Steam pls

 

[Plum]

Looks like I can't get it installed on my SSD. Shame, but I can't imagine the loading times will be that bad on my WD Black HDD.

 

[wbEMX]

Downloading the patch. Do we have a PC performance thread yet?

 

[ActWan]

3 Fucking gigs?! Well guess I'll play it later then

 

[Trago]

Fucking patch!

WTF

 

[TheRed]

Damn unpacking is gonna take forever again. Thinking I might delete and redownload. It says 3 days now and it's on SSD. Lol I'm gonna redownload. 64 days, it keeps going up!

 

[Kenzodielocke]

AN HOUR?

I have it on an SSD, it's at 20 minutes.

 

[Tecnniqe]

S L I B O Y Z

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

If you're playing on the PS4, some dialogue comes from the speaker on the controller, perhaps you've muted it ?

Oh there you go, thanks

 

[Ulysses 31]

Yes I don't get this either.
I mean, personally I have a fast connection, but 3 gb can be huge for other people.

Makes the whole pre-load process useless.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and maintain that pre-loading 20GB of 23GB is still more usefull than downloading 23GB at launch date and thus does not make the pre-loading useless.

 

[Fledz]

I've downloaded all 22.7GB and now it's preparing to launch for an hour, then days, now at like more than a year. What in the fuck is going on?

 

[Diancecht]

Unpacking, 2 hours. GG.

 

[d00d3n]

Still 5 minutes left on the day 1 patch ...

 

[Auto_aim1]

I just started the download on Steam so I guess I'll play tomorrow now. My PS4 CE has not been shipped yet too

 

[Laurentius]

How long does decryption usually take? My counter is all fucked up. Has gone from 10 minutes all the way up to 2 days and then back down to 1 hour.

Try restarting Steam (along with going into your Task Manager and ending all of its processes). This has happened to me before and is one of the reasons I don't pre-load anymore.

 

[CyberPunked]

It says it still not released for me/...

 

[BigTnaples]

Downloaded it. Tried to launch, says game isn't out yet lol. Restarting Steam.

Same, restarted, decrypting now.

 

[j0hnny_385]

I don't have space on my SSD, so I put it on my WD10EZEX. Should be OK.

 

[Ducarmel]

download has stopped for me.

 

[Fujinn]

It depends on your processor and on your hard drive i believe.

 

[Fledz]

Servers look to be slammed. Mine just dropped from "more than a year" to "5 hours". Who knows.

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Just moved apartment. My connection drops from 50Mb to 10Mb.

Not the happiest man in the world right now.

 

[Intheflorsh]

I feel your pain. Always preload on an SSD.

 

[TheRed]

More than 1 year on my counter lol ok steam very useful preloading. Time to download it all again. On an SSD.

 

[sirap]

So you don't need to download the other 20-30gbs anymore?

There's basically two camps:

1) People with super fast internet who can download the full game within an hour.

2) Shit outta luck folks like me with 4mbps down. Preload started last week, giving us plenty of time to download the game on our slow ass connection. Even I managed to finish it 2 days ago. They should've allowed us to download the remaining 3gbs while we waited for the game to unlock at this ungodly hour.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Fuck the Steam Preload. What bullshit is this???

 

[Brockxz]

unpacking. at first it was 2 hours and I was all disappointed but now it shows 5 min.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Well this is the last time I ever preload anything on steam.

 

[BigTnaples]

I've downloaded all 22.7GB and now it's preparing to launch for an hour, then days, now at like more than a year. What in the fuck is going on?

Haha. Jesus. Now its doing the same with me.


What is this nonsense?

 

[Ruff]

"Ready to launch in approximately 78 days"


hype

 

[Sanctuary]

Apparently I'd completely forgotten every element of the HR story.

Loving the game so far: like the previous game, it's an RPG that manages to somehow scratch the MGS/Splinter Cell itch.

Apparently this will also touch some Mass Effect elements too combat wise.

 

[Nugg]

Yep, 3 Gb update pretty much means no Deus Ex for me tonight. Had the evening nicely cleared out too. The slow ass internet struggle is real, guys.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Fuck the Steam Preload. What bullshit is this???

The same "bullshit" that always happens. It has to unpack.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Just moved apartment. My connection drops from 50Mb to 10Mb.

Not the happiest man in the world right now.

I used to have 100 mbps. Now I get 2. It's like living in a different world.

 

[deoee]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and maintain that pre-loading 20GB of 23GB is still more usefull than downloading 23GB at launch date and thus does not make the pre-loading useless.

Still some people won't be able to play today, despite the week long pre-load.
Why not make it available earlier?
Just kills the puprose of downloading early for many people.

 

[Plum]

Super Bunnyhop just released a video showing off the new "Throwing boxes at people's head" AI.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAApPiPNBhY

Seems like different people have different tolerances for how many times they can have a box thrown at their head.

 

[Lighthouse]

Holy Shit this unpacking is SLOW.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Oh dear...

 

[Tecnniqe]

You know. Its faster to delete the pre-load and re-download.

Learn from the best.

 

[Asgaro]

 

[tomasdk]

I got burned with the pre-load with Doom, not doing that again. I can download the game faster compared to decrypting it.

 

[Floody]

I've replayed HR Director's Cut during the last few months and some indirect enemy deaths didn't count as "kills". Setting a robot for self destruct causing an enemy to die didn't. Hacking a turret and enabling "friendly fire" most certainly did.

Oh, didn't know that, I just remember a big object falling and killing someone for me, and that making my pacifist run not count, so just assumed everything would count as killing then.

 

[Brockxz]

OK, I think it is better for me just wait for release and donwload it. I have 400mb/s dl speed, it will be faster than that unpacking process.

 

[gordon1470]

You know. Its faster to delete the pre-load and re-download.

Learn from the best.

Oh god do I dare, it's gonna be hours at this point

 

[Ulysses 31]

Fuck the Steam Preload. What bullshit is this???

The price of having 40GB of game compressed to 19.9GB.

 

[exmachina64]

I feel your pain. Always preload on an SSD.

I did, it's only using a fraction of my SSD's speed.

 

[StrikeFirst117]

1 Year left huh, its crazy to think that steam even predicts that.

 

[TheRed]

Redownloading hype!

 

[Plum]

I don't have space on my SSD, so I put it on my WD10EZEX. Should be OK.

Yeah, and in a long RPG like this I don't mind loading that much. Should really get myself a 500gb SSD for games like this then keep all the games I have installed but don't play that often on my Mass Storage one.
