Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Releasing November 5th

[El Dorado]

I could use those 10mb space to store some random high quality gif found on the internet. Instead it's now dedicated to epic stuff. Conclusion: money spent on ssd not worth it.

[BS_BlackScout]

Can confirm what @Spider-Vice found.

@AlexFox2828

It's probably the pre-order state. In which you can't pre-load nor download (decrypted) the game.

How do you access source code? Disassembler?

No magic. It's Javascript (albeit minified).

[Supermax2003]

So the preload should start today or tomorrow right? Now that the stuff is implemented and rdy to lift off

[Mark3ec]

anyone else get this error?

[Kris194]

I see, well, we're waiting for pre-load then. I hope it won't take like 2 hourse to decrypt this thing on next Tuesday.

[Spider-Vice]

Sooo, one very important thing about decrypting a preload.

 

You usually need double the storage. That would be 300 GB. Three hundred gigabytes. Get your storage devices ready bois and gals.

Some of those were in the previous RGL. Decrypting wasn't though.

Maybe, it would work like "extracting files, than deleting the decrypted one"?

What a big relief.

[Supermax2003]

300 cant be. I expected the opposite, less leeching more extracting

GTA V required 120 GB disc space due to decrypting on Steam so yes, 300.

 

And GTA V took like a full hour almost two to decrypt.

[Kris194]

That way you still need 300GB

Are you sure? Should't it work like Steam? Steam compresses some games so instead of downloading the full size it downloads like half and then extracts it as far as I know. Also, shouldn't 300 gb be stated in minimum requirements if that is the case?

It might also be the case that not everything will be decrypted at once. They could easily implement a smarter decryption where they decrypt the files sequentially. Considering that decrypting all at once requires 300GB (given that the game is 150), perhaps they thought about this.

Now reddit knew about this too, ah yeah!~
say hello to those, who said about delays and so on, haha!

Imagine not being able to decrypt 150GB of game data because of a lack of 300GB and having to throw away the pre-loaded game and re-download the whole thing again.

I hope the cleaning lady hasn't broke the button tho.

I have the feeling that someone is misinterpreting this whole decryption thing. But maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, I just can't believe you would need that much data....Maybe we won't decrypt everything at once as someone mentioned before...

[korhan332]

 anybody got the rockstar launcher update ? or is it just me 

 

so now there is a big chance that we are gonna pre-load tomorrow

I can't think of any other reason why decryption would be there.

You need 300 because decryption is something special that you don't have to do, the game is 150GB, will be 150GB at release, don't need 300GB for normal usage, you need 300GB to decrypt it because 2x 150GB is 300GB.

I'm not talking about you or Spieder-Vice. Some people here migth think that the game will be 300GB.

It's not, you do realize that there are various cryptographic algorithms?
