took me 15mins 3570k+ssd

if you have a slow HDD or a slow cpu is going take time

 

[axb2013]

Maybe check out the Corsair Lapdog. =)

That's what I'll get, once I find the right 55" 4K monitor, can't wait to dethrone the TV from the living room.

I saw a few people get hung up on some reviews so I would like to point out Alien: Isolation's IGN review, they blasted what became my GOTY of 2014.

This is extremely time consuming but I thoroughly enjoyed the dev commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg2kG-W5xo8
Such insight into the development process, highlights the passion behind the Deus Ex franchise.

Can someone with the Season Pass tell me if the praxis points and weapon packs can all be redeemed today? And if so is there a certain point in the game you need to be or are they unlocked after the tutorial basically? Trying to decide if I should get it today or wait, really want those extra points tho.

They are supposed to unlock today BUT it seems all items are one-use items only valid for a single playthrough. This might be a bug, but I'd hold off using any items unless you need them.

Now we're down to just minutes. Aaaaaaaaand an error message. Back to a few hours now. Now days. The fuck man.

I'm sure the "strike team" will help you.

 

[ebevan91]

I'm sure the "strike team" will help you.

Now it's just fluctuating back and forth between 1 hour and 2 days lol.

 

[gordon1470]

Just got that too. wtf?

I'm scanning my games drive because I'm paranoid, and then I'll probably delete and redownload

 

[wbEMX]

Oh, that's awesome. Steam servers are so packed right now that my patch download sits at 0bytes/sec. since it started. Fuck everything.

[exmachina64]

uncompressing/decrypting is more a CPU speed issue.

Hopefully AMD will save me with Zen.

It went painfully slow at the start for me but it's been holding at 50BM/s + usage for a while now.

It's been sustaining over 60MB/s. *fingers crossed*

 

[Kid Ska]

goty confirmed

"Ready to launch in approximately 78 days"


hype

Lol,sorry man but I thought this was hilarious.

 

[gordon1470]

OK, phew. Drive is fine, steam is dumb. Time to redownload, my dudes

 

[BigTnaples]

didn't think to throw it on the SSD. This is taking forever. Fuck.

 

[Randdalf]

Twenty minutes to go... CPU+HDD pls.

"Ready to launch in approximately 78 days"

Pfft I can beat that...

"Ready to launch in approximately 1 year"

EDIT: Steam must have known I was on gaf posting or something, just dropped to 25 mins.

I will never understand why people with fiber connections even bother to preload. Just to shitpost about the (always) long decryption process?
I'm not sure if my game has automatically decrypted already but I just came back to the PC downloading a patch apparently.

if you download it now is there no decrypting to do?

Once the game is released, you will download it as you usually do with no extra decryption/unpacking/we involved.

...shit http://puu.sh/qLBcs/bf85f2fd90.jpg

Don't redownload. Just keep trying -- working now it seems.

 

[Lashley]

6hours to unpack

 

[Mr Cola]

Got a "Content still encrypted message"

 

[ebevan91]

Yeah mine is about 1/3rd of the way done now. About 20 minutes left.

 

[deoee]

i5 6600k , 16 GB Ram, 970 OC, looks like this, runs perfectly.

Mostly very high settings (ignore the texture warning!), no MSAA.

Mouseaiming feels a bit floaty

 

[Plum]

Nope, I'm downloading it now and once it's finished downloading the 22.7GB (so in about 50 minutes from now) I'll be able to play straight away. It works like every other game on Steam.

 

[LowRoller]

That's weird I didn't have to unpack the game. i opened steam and it was ready to go.

Wonkyface

 

[Bisnic]

Posts like these, I'm glad I'm only going back from work in 3 hours, might be less of a pain to unpack.

 

[justjim89]

This 3GB patch sucks. My download speed tops out at about 1 MB/s on good days, so this is gonna take another hour.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Deleted preload. Downloading again. Size shows 19.9 GB only???

Good to hear... At 1080p?


Going to shoot for 4K30 with my rig

Going to disable AA, probably contact shadows, and hope that does the trick.

There's no reason preloads need to be like this on Steam. This method is archaic. Even GOG does preloads better. I do agree that people with faster connections should avoid it, at least until Valve makes some major changes.

 

[exmachina64]

Launching!

You will prolly get the patch afterwards

Yeah, same. Something really fucky going on.

 

[Lashley]

20 mins to unpack, hurry up!

 

[Glass]

Almost home from work, glad I havn't missed all the action!

 

[ambar_hitman]

Thats just sad.

 

[Mr Cola]

So is redownloading preferable to unpacking? Or would I have to go through unpacking again?

 

[Lakitu]

Good god, some of the shit you find just exploring around.

 

[ambar_hitman]

No unpacking required if you download after release date/time.

Yes, 1080p.

Also turned off the contact shadows but turned normal ones higher :3

 

[xAlias]

Couldn't play the previous Deus Ex due to the head bobbing that gave me motion sickness.

Anyone can confirm if there is head bobbing present in the new game?

 

[ymgve]

No unpacking required if you download after release date/time.

Also if you download from scratch after the game was released any patches are baked in so you don't have to worry about patching taking up time.

 

[malfcn]

Registers at SQEX and redeemed my Day One code. The Desperate Measures download dropped in my ready to install, but where is Covert Agent?

 

[Finaj]

Well, I'm fucked.

The download is stuck and Steam won't let me redownload it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It'll be up once I've taken screenshots of the graphics settings and noted their values.

I'm already please be excited, can't wait to crush my 1080 in 4K later today

 

[Mr Cola]

No unpacking required if you download after release date/time.

Hmm, its difficult to tell whats best, right now its says 30mins to unpack but it keeps spiking to 4 hours, then back to 30mins

 

[Orcastar]

Wow, I had no idea that preloading on Steam was such a shitshow. What the hell is the point of a system like this?
