Hi,

I have PC version with Early access Key.
1 day before start we should be able to pre-download the 0.3
Where ?!

When I start the launcher, nothing happen.


That would be the torrent which is actually just one file that's like 117gb. Which you then place in your install directory when the patch servers come up.

The average reported download speed of the torrent would likely finish sometime not today...

The actual patch is 47'ish gb and you can patch sometime after servers go down which is about two hours before launch time.

Oh and yes the patch is less than half the size of the torrent don't ask me why. There is some info about it in the "launching soon" thread in announcments.

Because the torrent file contains all game data. That's why you replace the existing ggpk with the downloaded file once servers go down. Even then you'll still have to download some stuff but at least it won't be 47 gb.

Imagine downloading the whole game to play only 3 days. lol


I mean it take 30mins to an hour to download the game, which could save you $30 if you are unsure about the game. Makes perfect sense.
GGG where Patch?

after downloading the ~120GB Patch and waiting in Queue there will be enough time to analyze the new tree :-)

Be real.
the game will be totaly unplayable for minimum of 24 hrs.

lags, delays, microstuttering, errors kicking you out of the game.
You name it.

3days beta is actually hilarious because at least 1 day you wont play properly due to lags/disconns etc maybe even these 3 days,I repeat it should have been 1 week

they only want to stress test servers.
Not give the game to public yet.

And for that 3 days is ok.

The game is beta until it's released.
