"Another question people have been asking me about #PillarsOfEternity #Deadfire. "Aarik, will there be preload for the game on Steam? My internet is le poop. "Well then, how about 5PM PDT on 

 

Piccie that reads.... "May the FOURTH be with YOU"

 

That's a cool and convenient touch ;)

I tend to move around quite a bit and I doubt I'm the only one so having the possibility to preload does make a difference when stuck without access to high speed internet. ;)

Absolutely, and happy we'll all be able to play on release day. My internet is just terrible for DL speed, so pre-load is a godsend :)

 

Otherwise i'd be waiting until Thursday evening/Friday to play!

Really? They've confirmed preloading today then? Awesome. Was worried I'd have to download the game the day of. ...Or night of.

I am actually pretty sure you’re going to be able to preload. In fact, I am pretty sure it is scheduled to be available today on Steam. Well, that is what I remember from reading a tweet not too long ago ? I hope I am not mistaken :S

 

Take it with a grain of salt until I can find it again.

What about GOG though? No preload for us? :(

15+ gigabytes in eighteen minutes. I hate you.

It's going to take me about 9 hours to download it.

Nope we're just boned.

Many thanks from a South African.

That's nice and all, but Total War:Warhammer 1 & 2 should ALWAYS be installed on your hd, young man! Hop hop, you have work to do!

Bloodlines should also always be installed.

I'm more concerned about the fact that he doesn't have Civ IV in his library at all.

 

I'm afraid I will have to take away your Civilization fan credentials, sir.

 

Bloodlines should also always be installed. 

 

Also this. Feels so weird to have VtMB greyed out.

More people should post their game libraries so we can criticise them :)

You could have responded with a "Pssh, I can download those games in like 5 minutes if I feel like it 8) " comeback. *g*

Edited by aeoncs

Pleasantly surprised that preload is live. 

 

Looks like downloading the game to play on the 8th won't be too much of a problem. :)

I like that you played Trails in the Sky, love that game! 

Pre-load complete in somethng less than 5 hours. Nice. Ready to go on Tuesday night after work ;)

Ok, after seeing Blondie's Steam lib in this thread I just had to make a separate thread on this because now I want to see moooaaare of what peeps here are playing. So *clicky clicky clicky* and see what great taste we all have as far as pc gaming is concerned. Or let's shudder at the horror of what some peeps have dared to spend their dough on!

 

On-topic: I've preloaded, but now it doesn't let me preplay the game. Bummer.

Git gud at decryption scrub
