It pre-loaded twice for me. About 11.5 gigs the first time a few days ago, and another 11.5 gigs today.

Any word on how this runs on low-end machines?

 

[Lothars]

The Giant Bomb review sold me on the game, I know there's alot of negativity about the game and maybe rightfully so, I look forward to playing it after reading that review though.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

*Gasp*

It's unlocked!

 

[justjim89]

I'm in US Central TZ, and it's playable now. I'm just waiting on an update, probably unpacking the files. It says it'll take about 30 minutes. I am excite.

Although now I'm more worried than ever that my laptop won't run it well enough.

 

[Foffy]

Hmm...Steam seems to be unpacking the game for me. Does this mean I can play it when it's done, or do I have to wait until midnight?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

EEEEEEEEEEE it's unpacking!

 

[DukeBobby]

*Gasp*

It's unlocked!

Ahhh, fucking preload is not finished yet.

82%, c'mon you bastard!!

 

[justjim89]

I'm guessing it'll be playable, as it gives me the option to launch the game when it's done. Almost there.

 

[nOoblet16]

In UK and it's still locked....eh !

 

[DECOY-LDN]

In UK and it's still locked....eh !

Yep locked for me too.

 

[justjim89]

I have a half hour left on my unpacking and it's around a third done. How's it going for y'all?

 

[nOoblet16]

Funny how the steam home page says it's available but when I try to launch it say sit's not released yet.

 

[Salsa]

670 not back from RMA

:,(

dont know if ill start this with the 560ti or just wait..

 

[dreamfall]

Unpacking over here too! Excited, been playing Blood Money all day in anticipation. Time to find out how the new direction affects the franchise!

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

If you've got it all unpacked, try restarting your steam. The authentication might not fully complete until you do so. Done that before with previous releases.

Yep this goes for anything on steam not doing what it should be doing.

Restart your steam.

 

[Foffy]

Hmm, it says it's at 100% in my Games list, but unpacking is stuck at a counter that keeps rising. Do I restart?

Do it, I have 560ti and Sniper Challenge runs great. It's based on the same engine and the draw distance is rather large.

I have the same problem. Restarting steam or pausing and resuming does not work. I am accessing steam from Sweden.

Yeah, I restarted. Still stuck..it's doing something though. I noticed my fan was getting loud and the light on my tower was going off, usually when it's doing stuff with the HDD.

Guess it's a slow unpacking and verification process?

 

[Mikeside]

Am in UK, still sitting on pre-load. Have tried restarting Steam

C'mooooon

 

[Tweedy]

I restarted my whole PC and signed into steam, seems its now unpacking.. Only 30 minutes more to wait :/

 

[d00d3n]

Guess it's a slow unpacking and verification process?

That would be nice, but it seems weird that steam doesn't inform you of any unpacking or verification.

 

[Linearskillz]

Mine's almost done unpacking and it's been about 30 minutes. Very slow. Also it's using a TON of drive space (up to 24GB on top of the 13GB preload), I had to continuously delete a bunch of stuff to make room. My poor SSD

I think it finished as I was typing this. Rejoice!

Edit: Hmm... seems it's done unpacking but I can't play it. Still considers it a pre-load for some reason even after restarting Steam. Odd.

 

[nOoblet16]

Am in UK, still sitting on pre-load. Have tried restarting Steam

C'mooooon

Working now for UK, if not then try a steam restart

 

[Foffy]

Steam's updating bar thing looks like it's moving, even if my game list mentions 100%. Perhaps the percentage is it checking the download size while the other is the unpacking size?

 

[justjim89]

Holy shit yeah this is weird. I had 32G free after 2 11.5G pre-loads, but suddenly my hard drive is down 8G. What the hell?

 

[d00d3n]

I can confirm that restarting your computer works.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Hmm...

I was just playing the game a few minutes ago, then I updated my drivers/restarted my computer and now it's telling me I can only pre-load the game, not play it.

 

[Red Blaster]

hay guyz what's goin on

 

[Foffy]

Huh...Steam seemed to unpack it, I get an error message about the servers not being able to handle it, and apparently Steam thinks it didn't unpack the game yet?

What?

 

[Crazymoogle]

I can confirm that restarting your computer works.

And I can confirm it doesn't

Stuck on preload

 

[SkyscraperFan]

Ya, preloaded and unpacked here, but still unable to play even with a computer restart.

Maybe its's locked until midnight in everyone's region?

 

[d00d3n]

And I can confirm it doesn't

Stuck on preload

Ohh, sorry to hear that.

By the way, the decryption or whatever is really slow. Still 15 minutes to go.

 

[Double D]

Anyone who is already playing in the US?

 

[Linearskillz]

Huh...Steam seemed to unpack it, I get an error message about the servers not being able to handle it, and apparently Steam thinks it didn't unpack the game yet?

What?

Same problem here. Can't play no matter how many times I try restarting

 

[Red Blaster]

Anyone who is playing already in the US?

right here

game was ready to go as soon as I got back from class, didn't have to do anything special

 

[Foffy]

I see the game is quite clearly installed, and attempting to run the Absolution executable in the folder does absolutely nothing.

Did it really unpack it only to still leave a timer on it? :<

 

[justjim89]

What?

Yeah, same here. How the hell is the game entirely on my computer and I still can't access it? The "play" button has gone back to "pre-load" even after a restart. Christ this is frustrating.

right here

Where do you live?

 

[Messofanego]

With all this arguing, I hope we get to 20 pages by the game's release date!

More judging of games by videos, more!

Hah, I called it! Pay up sucka! Oh wait, I didn't bet anyone :/

 

[Red Blaster]

btdubs, I get an average FPS in the low 40s with a 570 @ 1080p with everything on ultra and FXAA

Where do you live?

florida

Just restarted my PC and it's still saying pre-load :/

edit: and I'm in florida. wtf

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Preloaded! Not sure if I'm going to be able to stay up and play it when it unlocks though.

 

[d00d3n]

I am in game now. Downloaded a couple of days ago, unpacked/decrypted after restarting my computer 30 minutes ago or so, decryption took 30 minutes, now the game is running. Did all of this from Sweden, using win 7 64 bits. Now that I have proven my superiority I will go to bed.
Edit:sorry for being an asshole

 

[justjim89]

Is anyone else freaked out that the 47 model in the achievement icons has no face, effectively turning him into Slender Man?

 

[Mikeside]

Finally ready to play!
Let's do this!


...briefly. It's 1am.

 

[justjim89]

The .exe is sitting right on my damn computer. Why does clicking on it do nothing? This shit better unlock right at midnight if that's what it's waiting for.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Christ, Valve needs to fix their shit. Unpacking the game rendered my system nearly inoperable and even after I closed steam I still had to shut down my computer as it took a minute to pull programs up from the taskbar.

After all that, and I still can't play the game. God damn it just give it to me already!

It'd be one thing if nobody could access it yet. But people on Steam are already playing it! It just makes me mad.
