Hi all,

 

I just wanted to post this here for any of you who may not have been aware of this. Pre-Loading will be available to any of you who purchased via the Rockstar Warehouse or Steam (or likely any cd-key site).

Thanks for the heads up. Only really going to shave off an hour or two of potential download time for most internet connections, but for those dying to breeze through the single player campaign this will be a relief.

Just pre-ordered the game today, thanks for telling me this. 

Quick notice: pre-loading is now available on steam.

I'm doing it told me gonna take up to 17 hour's -_-

So is the game really 55gb like it says on the steam page?

The preload is 59GB, the whole game is probably closer to the 65GB required according to rockstar.

 

It took me 2 hours to download it.

See I would have ordered the downloadable version, but my GTA IV PC on disk was way more stable than my edition of Steam on GTA IV, crashing way less than it with the same equivalent mods before it stopped working and I had to get the Steam edition, so yeah. I am going to be going with the GTA V disc on this one. Or discs. Hope it isn't THAT many though if it is 65 GB might take like four discs. Oh well it'll be worth it in the end. Can't wait to be seeing GTA V next gen finally on something I could afford!

What internet speed do you have? If I take 12 hours to download 12 GB... Yours gotta be over 9000 tb/s

GreenManGaming apparently got RGSC codes instead of Steam codes, so I'm going to have this thing open for the next 7 hours:

 

 

And you can't throttle it so it's using ALL OF THE BANDWIDTH.

Less than 5ms ping, 105 down, 8 up normally. Steam downloaded GTA V at a peak of 12.7Mb/s. I started at 6.18pm (GMT) and it finished at around 8pm.

Just this minute started the download :)

I pre-ordered the CD version, I can't really see myself downloading a game for days. Hopefully will get it the 14th 

The anticipation for this is astounding.

 

I'm almost there guys. 

 

Update: halfway there, time hasn't changed much because the download slowed down to 50 kb/s for a while. I think the timer is using an average speed, and that really brought the average down.

 

I finished mine within three hours of the pre-load releasing, I am sad that I have to stare at this for 6 more days...

Use something like NetLimiter 3 to limit it.

 

 

ALL HAIL MY GREAT INTERNET!! :D

(Speed currently limited to 100kb/s out of 270kb/s of connection speed)

Hahahaha, have fun dealing with RGSC. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of the GTA IV launch disaster.

 

Never forget

Holy crap... That's a lot of space... I love steam, but not on this one. I'll get myself a CD version.

Finished my pre-load a couple of hours ago. New net connection paid off, 65GB is a huge game. And now we wait...

 

This music should get everyone in the mood for a heist.
