Question: "I pre-ordered the downloadable version of GTAV for PC. Will pre-loading be supported?"

 

Answer: "Yes, pre-loads via Rockstar Warehouse and Steam will be available on April 7th. We will update this page with an exact time as soon as that information is available. If you pre-ordered GTAV from a digital retailer other than Rockstar Warehouse or Steam, please contact your retailer’s customer support departments for details on pre-loads.

To receive an automatic email notification as soon as there is more information, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page."

Here's some math.

Grand Theft Auto V is 65GB which is 68,157,440KiloBytes. The pre-load will go for 7 days which is 604800 seconds. Take the KiloBytes and divide it by 604800 seconds and that give you 122.69417989KB/s for your download speed to at least be if you want it at April 14th midnight.

 

Here's a table, if your download speed is on the list your estimated download time will be on to the left.[table]TimeByte Rate6 days131.47KB/s5 days157.77KB/s4 days197.21KB/s3 days262.95KB/s2 days394.42KB/s1 day788.88KB/s6 hours3,155.43KB/s5 hours3,786.52KB/s4 hours4,733.15KB/s3 hours6,310.87KB/s2 hours9,466.31KB/s1 hour18.48MB/s30 minutes36.97MB/s15 minutes73.95MB/s10 minutes110.93MB/s5 minutes221.86MB/s4 minutes277.33MB/s3 minutes369.77MB/s2 minutes554.66MB/s1 minute1,109.93MB/s[/table]

My body is ready

My internet connection is ready (I hope)

Steam servers...? I'm not sure they'll be ready

Expect slow download rates and crashes

People will still complain that their dial-up won't be fast enough and Rockstar should have let them preload 2 years a go instead.

Sweet, a whole week early! Probably due to size and it's the best selling title on steam this year already, probably want to make sure the load isn't so bad on release, when people really start buying it (based on friends shares on steamcomunity and recommendations and stuff like that).

 

I'll be using Africa server for quicker rates.

4 days left for the leaks!!!

And then you download a bunch of encrypted data, only to delete it again?

 

 

I am sure I will get my disc version on monday, no need to go digital preload.

Is it possible to decrypt the warehouse version?

 

If you are asking about the P word, I guess no. The only version of the game that can have P (before the release day) is the retail DVD version since I guess won't need a day one patch-executable to run.
