Yeah, care to explain why?ManaByte said:Huh?

DopeyFish said:it's not like the executables are in there. or the libraries. just texture and map data, as well as most likely any irrelevant sound info
AeroGod said:How big is the pre-load. Probably gigs? I dunno.
.4% WAHOO!
ManaByte said:Most of that stuff is stored in the file for each game. Steam is the executable![]()
johnjohnson said:Can someone please explain to me what this pre-loading is?
johnjohnson said:Does this mean that you can download this stuff and keep it on your harddisk until the game comes out so that you only have to download the remaining stuff?
Freeburn said:You'd rather they used *all* their available bandwidth just for HL2 preloads?
You know you'll have it pre-loaded by the beginning of September anyway.
Personally I'd rather they left that 5Gb/s alone so I can continue to play DoD & CS:Source while the preload is happening![]()
