BluesDriveMonster Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Any word on if you'll be able to play online with the 18GB download? I'm worried because of the mentions of the game requiring a 40GB HDD install. Assuming that its all completely accurate thats still 22GB missing from the pre load. If that means that at launch I'd have to download the additional 22GB I'd rather just get a physical copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipingheadshot Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The source is talking with Microsoft directly and with other friends worldwide. The info tab is only messed up in the USA apparently and says the same thing for everyone (12am PST). Everywhere else worldwide it shows the correct information of being ready to play at 12am in whatever timezome you are actually in Sorry, but I wouldn't consider that a source. Do you have any examples (pictures or articles) of countries with multiple time zones where one time zone doesn't have to wait? Any word on if you'll be able to play online with the 18GB download?

I have no idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure theres plenty to do in game while its getting the rest which am again "guessing" will be other planets that you wont have access to, till later in the game anyhow?.

I wouldn't mind if it works like that, that would be fine. It's just a shame that my internet is too slow and it takes me a few hours to download something that size. But yeah, I went ahead and bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Juicy Pie Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Disc installs arent the same as downloading. It will take 10-15 minutes at most to fully install and start playing. Disk install takes the same amount of space as a download. And the reader can only work so fast. Not to mention if it's anything like the beta, we will probably have to extract the compressed file once the app is launchable. That alone took almost an hour for just the beta. 18g? This thing is supposed to be 40+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing is supposed to be 40+. True about space needed but that really isnt the point when we are just talking time needed for a physical install. As comparison, Wolfenstein is a 40gb+ install from disc and it only took ~15 minutes to finish. Once the disc is fully installed, there shouldnt be anything else needed or extracted beyond that except for the day one patch. Depending on size, that where we could be spending a good chunk of time. EDIT: Just saw that some people with early copies of the game disc have been saying its an almost 30 minutes complete install Edited September 6, 2014 by ii SlayerX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
