[QUOTE=Animosus;47473264]Have six people wanting me to download the files for them as their internet is far too slow and it would cap them straight away. Damn this game is more popular in my friends group than I thought. Would this actually work like other steam games though?[/QUOTE]
Yea but if they didn't get it from steam, then it will not work.
[editline]7th April 2015[/editline]
[QUOTE=Gishank;47473294]No reason for it not to, of course it'd be unwise to give them the files until after they unencrypted - given it's possible Steams encryption system uses your Steam ID to salt it.[/QUOTE]
No, important files are not preloaded and the rest are the same across all steam cdn's
Good thing that I live in a dormitory with >2 Mbps internet and download will finish in less than 12 hours. As opposed to living in a <1 Mbps area out in the countryside, that'd take the download weeks before finish downloading. If all the preload files can fit into my 64 GB flash for later transfer to a bigger drive.
I pre-ordered a physical edition from Tesco.
I think I might actually put the box in a picture frame and stick it on the wall above my PC screen.
GMG is going to issue keys for preloading as soon as they get them and they know what to tell us what to do with said keys.
[QUOTE=DMGaina;47454506]I could stay here with my girlfriend and download it in 141 hours... or I say "Bye honey, gotta download GTA V", take the train to my parents and download it in only 4 hours.
Hmmm...[/QUOTE]
I'm at home now. Fuck her bullshit internet.
I bet it's gonna be as usual with steam at 7PM CET. Thats when they usually do stuff
With our luck, the preload will start at 11:59pm April 7th.
hey if I buy GTA V in store at like EB games (Australia sucks w/e) can I use the CDKEY on Steam? Or am I going to be stuck with social club only?
Question.
I have a character on Xbox 360. I can migrate him to PC even if I don't have an active Xbox Live membership?
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47474506]hey if I buy GTA V in store at like EB games (Australia sucks w/e) can I use the CDKEY on Steam? Or am I going to be stuck with social club only?[/QUOTE]
Almost certain it will be only social club. Don't think Rockstar has said for sure, but the last few games have been this way, and they would probably hype up more if it was Steam activating.
It's not gonna matter Valve, even if pre-orders stagger, I bet the number will exceed a million folks trying to download this IMMEDIATELY.
Game wont be out for another week, so why not just download it while you are sleeping?
[QUOTE=Javascript;47474514]Question.

If your social club is linked you should be set, I'm in the same boat as you.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47470887]GMT for us common folk?[/QUOTE]
Sorry I meant 6pm GMT time. Thats when the steam servers do there updates.
[QUOTE=Impact1986;47474558]Game wont be out for another week, so why not just download it while you are sleeping?[/QUOTE]
I was about to say: I'm excited for this dumb game and it's not even being released for another week.
[QUOTE=Shotz;47474563]If your social club is linked you should be set, I'm in the same boat as you.[/QUOTE]
Thank god. I'm absolutely terrified that a.) something horrible will go wrong when I transfer b.) it will reset my character c.) i'll be forced to pony up $50 for an XBL membership just to transfer a character
We get to redesign characters when we transfer, yes?
I'm 250% hyped to drive my Casco in first person in glorious 60FPS 1080p.
(also, get a Casco. They're fucking spaceships.)
7th is coming to an end and still no preload...
(Why am I so excited for a preload the game isn't even out yet :rolleyes:)

You have to wait until its the end of the 7th in the US. Its only mid morning of the 7th in CST. :v:
But I have no idea when it will start.

It's not even midday for Rockstar, hold your horses.

I think it will be available for preload at around 1am our time when steam seems to refresh or something
Also, aparently I've already played it..

you can already preload on social club waiting for steam tho
The steam pre-load is said to start around 6pm GMT (UK time)
[I][B]Edited:[/B][/I]
Ha to you two who rated this dumb, I was right
[QUOTE=Gary D;47474910]The steam pre-load is said to start around 6pm GMT (UK time)[/QUOTE]
Where did that information come from?
[QUOTE=simkas;47474917]Where did that information come from?[/QUOTE]
Steam updates their store at that time.
[QUOTE=Noah Gibbs;47472335]Are you sure you are not just reading kilobits as kilobytes? I get 2 megabyte/s download speeds, thats 16 megabit/s
This chart is measured in bits not bytes. 8 bits = 1 byte
Basically what you are saying is your internet is roughly 32 kilobytes/s. If this is true I'm very sorry for you.[/QUOTE]
No, I know. My internet is literally that bad.
Don't know if I should get the retail copy or just buy it from steam, the map pulls me to retail, but the steam intergration pulls me to steam
Good thing I still have the map from my 360 version.
And damn i won't be able to pre-load till tomorrow when my ssd comes in.
[QUOTE=lordofdafood;47475002]Don't know if I should get the retail copy or just buy it from steam, the map pulls me to retail, but the steam intergration pulls me to steam[/QUOTE]
Remember - 7 install CDs.
I personally would go for Steam.
[QUOTE=lordofdafood;47475002]Don't know if I should get the retail copy or just buy it from steam, the map pulls me to retail, but the steam intergration pulls me to steam[/QUOTE]
Retail copy is just going to run through steam anyway. If you want the map, and don't mind potentially paying extra for taxes and such, then go with the retail copy. You don't even need to use the discs.
I have just enough in my line of credit to pre-order and pre-load today.
