Pre-Load is up.

[Coolguy]

The preload won't download/start dling the patch: it doesn't even detect there's a patch! D: D: D:

 

[AledJ]

So the pre-load had a download speed of 1.2mb which is great on a 10mb connection, but this new patch update is between 60-100KB/s at times. It does go above 100 but come on lol

 

[Richey79]

It keeps randomly pausing on me and occasionally claiming 'download suspended'

...These fascists are crafty.

 

[skewp]

Someone has got to be goddamn kidding me -.-

Bought the game like over a month ago, waiting for the day to download since then. I start the pre-load around 13:00 hours on my parents 200kb/s superinternet and it downloads the whole day up until 20:00 and then I notice something is wrong cause steam paused the download. I restart steam and 80% of my pre-load just gone MISSING. 6 GIGS of data, HOW is that even possible? Then I try to resume or restart the download and I CAN'T cause APPARENTLY the servers are too crowded? So what Valve, crash my download so other people can download instead? God Steam fails YET AGAIN.
Why hasn't the 80% of my download SAVED and resumed after I restarted Steam?

Sure I can just leave my PC overnight and play in the morning but c'mon I'm looking forward to this for a month and THIS happens? -_-

 

[SilentDawn]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I thought the extra download is like a regular steam download so i tried to do the good old "stop and resume" trick to speed things up. but steam deleted everything!!! all the 8GB i downloaded...and now i can't even start it again becuase the servers are too busy!
damn u steam!!! buy some good servers!!!!

 

[lods of emone]

I pre-loaded earlier today, now the red orchestra 2 folder in steamapps\common is only 2.48GB. I'm pretty sure it downloaded more than that...

EDIT: It's apparently downloading 5.8 GBs of data, and going slow as hell to boot. 246 KB/s is the peak rate, when I pre-loaded the whole thing pretty much 2.3 MB/s constantly earlier.

How the hell does Steam manage to delete your data?

 

[Maizel]

Yeah.|

TWI dropped the ball on this one.

Having a preload but then shove a 2.5 gig patch our way 30 minutes before release is essentially the same as having no preload.

This is ****ing useless. I can't even get it to start downloading.

 

[Krynn72]

Delayed another 4 hours according to the Steam Store page.

 

[VariousNames]

Delayed another 3 hours....

Might as well call it a day.

You really bungled this release, guys.

 

[Hobitt]

Delayed another 4 hours according to the Steam Store page.

 

[Coolguy]

****ing ****

 

[Bolano]

Seriously wtf...

 

[Switchblade]

what if they didn't release the update? I bet there would be a lot of *****in here too, so why not do it straight away?

just guessin

you guys should lighten up a little

 

[grateful_dead]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[grateful_dead]

Back to playing Deus Ex!

 

[Rumo]

Delayed another 4 hours according to the Steam Store page.

Muahahahaha!

Well, well....**** happens
For me the update won

 

[emajkut]

For every person whining about the patch, there'd be two more whining about the bugs being fixed by the patch if they hadn't pushed it out instead. Get your freaking life together and act like an adult. Geez.

 

[LordVader]

I just can't believe this. I was finally be able to downloading the preload but it paused and it says it's too busy. WHAT THE am I suppose do? Restart steam? What if I lose my downloaded preload. I can't even see the patch!

 

[MrSchwarz]

It's already been said, but don't trust the steam clock.

I'm guessing < 3 hours

 

[Stephen]

My Steam pre-load seems to have stopped (and the downloading icon has disappeared) at about 50% or thereabouts. Is that normal? Does it just mean it's downloaded all the files it can, and the rest will be released at launch?
