You are almost certainly right there, plus you have to allow for game saves and any temporary files that may be generated on the fly.Legionnaire wrote:the Installation is 1 DVD however once unencrypted, uncompressed and Installed it's quite possible the install size will be 12GB.
XML text tends to compress extremely well in my experience (sometimes to as little as 10% of the uncompressed size).

Since when does achievements have anything what so ever to do with wether a game has deep long term gameplay or not?Dank7430 wrote:The achievement goals seem rather bland and boring. Hope this is not a sign of how the game will be like.
Even in a game like Europa Universalis IV the achievements are the usual pointless drivel (as the entire achievements system itself always is) such as "Conquer a province".
I must say this seems interesting.
I'll Take That
Reacquire your ships and crews.
Indicates that we'll either "lose" our stuff at some point in the story? Perhaps like a traditional "go to jail" event? Or maybe it's just something early like "oh no you start in a jail, do the tutorial and break out to find your ship again" ?

I live in the UK and I'm on Virgin Media Cable. When i moved to the area it was 20mb/s (which was part of the reason i moved where i did) about 18 months later they upped it to 50mb/s and about 2 years later it was upped again to 100mb/s at the same price as the 50mb/s then they boosted me to 120mb/s. The issue is that most websites etc cannot pump info out at the speed i can take it, but in real world figures, I get on average between 14 and 15MB/s download from steam.sMull wrote:What the...where do you live and how do you have this kind of speed?Legionnaire wrote:And done. 4.4 Gb in under 6 minutes, i love my 120mb/s connection. however obviously its encrypted, and i suspect the exe file and possibly some other important stuff will be missing, so now the wait till next friday will be even harder to bear lol.

In big cities in France, you can have optical fiber for 30-35 EUR months which delivers, depending on your provider 100mb/s, 200mb/s, 300mb/s or even 1gb/s. Unlimited traffic.sMull wrote: What the...where do you live and how do you have this kind of speed?

Unfortunately I'm still ADSL-based, with luck and weird we know :
I was at 4mb/s in Big City in France (far from central) and now in my tiny tiny village, i'm at... 5mb/s ! (a bit less far from central)
Still growing !

Some preloads give you all of the files, but that they are encrypted. Others, in my experience anyway, give you most of the files but omits some of them so that you can't play the game; this is mainly critical files that are needed BY the game to run (or even primary engine files to)
Although I am surprised that this game is only 4.4 Gbs, I'm hoping this is due to serious optimizations and compression.

Well Egosoft sure as hell didn't sit around for seven years eating pizza!serious optimizations
And not a single byte of that is devoted to making the game worthwhile or interesting story telling. I bet a whole gig of that game is devoted to knife-throwing physicsMicknator wrote:Amount of setpieces (more textures/meshes in 1 area), multiplayer crap and cutscenes.Texhnolyzed wrote:Curious how this game is only 4.4 GB, when a game like Call of Duty: Ghosts is supposed to be 50 GB...
Thanx for pre-loading the files so far.

Ok, serious question for those who have downloaded the game, where do the files save to in the Steam folder? My sister is downloading the game for me and I am planning on picking up the files on Wednesday, but they don't appear to have downloaded into the Steam>SteamApps>Common folder. Any help from the wise and glorious members of this forum will be greatly appreciated! There could even be cake!

I believe \Steam\depotcache is where the XR files are kept.
And I have a question of my own. My game finished preloading hours ago, but every now and then the bottom of my steam window says (0 out of 1 downloads completed) and XR will say "download queued" for just a moment, then it goes back to saying Preload Complete. Is there a reason for this?

Awesome, all the files in depotcache? because i note they are all individual files not in a folder!
