ChumCrumpet Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 These pictures are fake. Anyone can do it by typing "steam://install/271590" into a browser. It'll try to force the game to install but will fail since there isn't a public build on Steam servers yet. If you see anyone posting this as "proof" please please don't believe it. If it's on the forums, just report it or something because I'm sure the admins don't want to see this sh*t clogging up the pipes either. Unless someone screencaps files open in notepad or something there's a huge chance it's all fake. Just wanted to let everyone know.

eastriver Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) A pre-load this early would be ridiculous. It implies the game is ready but we have to wait for another two months just to launch a file we already have!

TheMcSame Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Don't see why you'd want to pre-load it anyway. Any smart person would would wait for the reviews to come in before buying the game.

DarkTakua Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Well, don't know why this topic got into a flame war about preordering, but... I just confirmed with Rockstar support that you can only download it within 30 days. You have to let them know if you want to download it again (which is stupid) Thank you for contacting the Rockstar Games online store. The product that you ordered is a pre-order and has not yet been released to the public. Once that you will be provided with the download link, you will be able to download the game within 30 days that the link was provided. However, in circumstances that you may need to download it again in the near future you can contact us back so we can extend the validity of your download link. If you have additional questions, please reply to this email. We appreciate your business. Guess I'll be returning and buying it from Steam.

BlackNoise Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Don't see why you'd want to pre-load it anyway. Any smart person would would wait for the reviews to come in before buying the game. Seriously? If you're just talking about how well it's optimized, then I can see your point on some level, but I'm still buying either way. It will work, even if it needs some work. I've never had any major issues with a R* release, and they do an alright job when you contact their support, at least in my experience.

Way too many are pre-ordering before even knowing how it'll run on their systems. The average setup around here isn't exactly worthy of any bragging rights and I've seen several people here pre-ordering while still being under even the minimum requirements. There's no point in pre-ordering, you're basically throwing money into a well hoping something good will come out of it.

Braindawg Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 PRE ORDER and PRE LOAD are two different things ffs... A pre-load let's you download all of the game's files. when the game is out, it downloads a small activation file and launches the game... so you can basically download 99% of all files, and wait until the release for an immediete launch Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/765632-psa-dont-believe-preload-rumours/#findComment-1066929266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that for every game. You can pay $60 now for a game you've probably put a sh*t load of hours into already which could also have a terrible launch or you could wait a little bit and pay $30 or less AND you'll know if there's any game breaking bugs or not. Guess which option is the smart one.
