Well that used to be preferable for those who had small capacity drives as you needed double the space to both download and unpack the game when you preload over say just install upon release. But now you only need the space for the install. I stopped a preload that was still in progress of downloading by the time it had released and ended up finishing downloading it before others had it unpacked so there is that.
I mean 100Mbit for 20GB isn't going to be much more than my unpack times, but hey it's nice to have options!

Damn, what a shitty way to experience one of the best games ever made. One thing that must suck for reviewers is to have what should be great experiences turned into chores.
Still no Tomb Raider key from the Nvidia code I bought from Lunaniem.
The link it forwards me to (https://redeem.geforce.com/en-us/promos/?campaignID=THEDIVISION_BETA) seems to be dead.
edit: Works now, gotten a code, now hoping redeeming it will go easy and quickly.
People pls stop overreacting

My pre-load just did something new... it was strange... but now it's back to being "in queue" without the ability to bump it up to the top.

And oh, look, ASW pushed another patch for GG Xrd. Care to guess at the file size?
For those of you not playing at home, every time ASW patches Xrd, it's a 3.2gb download. I've had at least 6.4gb of patches in the last 48 hours or so.
Did you try to redeem it recently? It should be working.

If Andy's guide is of any help, you will have to run on very low to have playable framerates with 970 and that resolution. :\

What episode is this from? I've watched all of TGUK and I don't remember this, lmao.
Good read, very specific.
Depends if you need/want the 6c/12t.

We all knew the jump in requirements was coming as soon as it was entirely current-gen console games ported over instead of the cross-gen games before.
Theoretical comparisons in power aside (my year-old setup should be comparable to a PS4 on paper), there's always an element of having to brute force your way through with console ports.

The past few mystery gifts have been that. I'm thankful for everything gafers share and give away. It's just when its multiple coupons for something I will probably never buy...
If you want your game to be 4 times as shiny as the Consoles you need 4 times the resources. Get your wallets out you stingy gits!

I'd scream, too, if I had to be subjected to anime.
The 32GB RAM means nothing.
It's just so happens that's the setup the streamer has.
I can't tell if any of you are serious with your reactions to that and it makes me sad.
I guess I expect that from gaming side but expect better from Steamgaf?
Or maybe I'm just cranky because the game hasn't unlocked yet.

God dang it Bobby.
There's no steam key, you need to go to the site again and go through the same proccess, and it will redeem the game directly to your account.

Apparently in 20 minutes.
Collecting games is one thing, but collecting DLC is a deep dark hole.
What? But I need to go grab me 16GB's of British RAM on the way home first!
Edit: Which I've just realised probably someone is going to post that gif of the 'u wot m8' Ram butting a punch bag. If that happens I'm deeply sorry.
