    How do you start the final download? I've just been launching my BG:EE desktop icon and it says preload complete and then loads up old news after a minute...

    People were getting logged out because of the crashed servers. At least I was. With the forum getting stable again, forum participation right now has risen to 75K online.

    It's off to work for me, fella's

    I'll download and fire it up when i get back, hopefully the demand has slowed down by then

    Don't forget to eat and stuff guys!

    I had to actually click the "Preload Complete" text and it finally started downloading. I'm playing now, but the cursor dissapears in full screen when equipping items. I had to switch to windowed, and that has it's share of annoyances.

    I am shocked that others have downloaded before me... Hitting 1 byte / s...
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    Guy's, speeds just jumped to 50 bytes per second... I reckon I can wait this out!

    How many megabytes is it?

    I'm sure I got a 450 kilobytes pre download :/

    I've spent the last 2 hours downloading the patch at 20-30 kbps.

    Um...Did you guys break the forums for about a half hour there? Cause I know it wasn't the Meme thread.

    @Bam Our forum host migrated it onto something bigger.

    I wish I had downloaded the 500 mb earlier. Now at 182 b/s I will never be done in time to play today.

    I woke this morning despondent as it was still downloading... I had to pause it as I turn off my wifi when I'm not at home... Clicked the download bar to pause... It went pause for two seconds then suddenly turned into a play button... JUST AS I HEAD TO WORK!

    Aaaaargh! Playing all tonight!

    Was on at noon for the download, started it about 3 hours later. Eventually finished downloading a few hours after that and actually on my first playthrough got to Xzar before the Freezing epidemic hit me. I've been trying to get it to run smoothly but I've let it crash my computer over 35 times now and have manually rebooted it each time cause Ctrl Alt Del doesn't work

    Now I realize my computer can't even run the game because it simply is old and sucks balls.

    Waooooo

    this brought back memories of Diablo 3's launch =/ lol
  • AnduinAnduin Member Posts: 5,745
    Yay!

    So what you gonna do for the release of BG2?

    You necromancer mummy you!

    I'll be out most of Friday afternoon, but I'm expecting the servers to crash anyway so no huge loss. Hopefully I'll be able to spend the weekend curled up with blankets and junk food and relive the glory days (except the glory days were hunting winter wolves south of nashkel for countless in-game months, but anyway).

    I'm moving to New York on the 4th. I've already worked my last day at my old job. I will probably buy extra beer.

    I was so confused about a thread with 200 unread posts about BG release. Don't we already have one of these threads?
  • CorianderCoriander Member Posts: 1,667
    I'm going to close this one. There's a slightly fresher/newer one to use.
