    I can't imagine the horror that will overcome us all if pre-load does in fact start early and all the servers burn up anyway...

    It's gonna be 2-3 days before release at best, don't get your hopes up for sooner.

    I see the practice of communicating in memes has been spreading on this forum.

    Poor kid. Wonder if that was a show done for the camera, or he had no idea he had left it on and submitted it later in calm, self aware, introspective enlightenment?. Although I've got to admit that if BG3 became a crap edition FPS I would just spontaneously explode in the same manner.

    On topic though - I hope the same doesn't happen to Overhaul's server's when we all start downloading.

    If they dont pre release today, they lied to us. Monday is the day before, not the week before.

    I've heard rumors that asking for information about the pre-load does NOT make an anouncement about the date for the pre-load or an earler start of the pre-load more more likely. Can anyone confirm this?
  • CCarluNNCCarluNN Member Posts: 200
    They're taking quite a risk with their servers, putting the pre-load start time and release day so close to each other. But hey, this isn't Blizzard, there's just no way the same thing (Diablo 3 Day of Fail) could happen to us, right?

    Right?

    @VampQueen31: I agree. We got screenshots like 3 secs before the launch date and it seems we will get the preload 3 nanosecs before the launch date. Oh, and they still have in the FAQ that they are gonna launch it in Spanish where the "translations are under way" thread says its delayed.

    It was staged for the camera. Also, this is me, trying to use an Apple computer.

    The download won't be big by any stretch, you know. There will be plenty of DLers but to be honest I think it'll be fine.

    Trent has said several times that the content for the PC version is 3-4GB. Couple thousand people trying to pull that all at once?

    Server a splode.

    Everyone, enable p2p transfer on your Beamdog client. Let's all share our bandwidth.

    P2P on Beamdog should make the downloading fairly easy... I just wish they'd release it at least a day earlier so I could play right away on the 18th (minus the small update to make it playable.)

    2-4 GBs take some time to download and I'd rather have it downloaded during the night when no one is using the Internet. :\

    @sepotter What can I say? It's your choice.
  • sepottersepotter Member Posts: 367

    This is correct. We're just sorting the last issues on the launcher. We've got some more testing planned for it and then when we have a stable main data set we'll start pre-loading. At the latest, a week before release.

    -Trent

    At any rate Trent said this on a different thread on September 1st, so maybe they're having issues with the launcher?
  • AnOnionAnOnion Member Posts: 30
    I'll probably wait for someone to sniff the p2p info and create a standalone torrent. Then I'll help out.

    Well, now it looks like we'll be getting the Pre-load November 20 something. shucks

    Its being delayed again? I wonder why they are having so many problems with an old game like Baldur's Gate. This does not fill me with confidence at their ability to produce games, its not like its a Direct X 12 Skyrim like game.

    Its being delayed again?

    Again? when was the first time?
