The first boss fight of the game is fighting off the rest of the internet for the precious bits you need to finish unlocking it.

I preloaded, as soon as it unlocked it started downloading something, and now it has stopped because the download tab says disc is in use. The gently caress is it doing?

Really? I watch on my HDTV with HDMI so that sucks. Not that I can play anyway because G2A thinks the game comes out tomorrow so they haven't even sent my key yet. EDIT: Apparently the HDMI thing is AMD only? I might be ok.

Find your spare suit of plate armor, put it on, and if anyone asks what you're doing when you clank out just raise the visor, look at them, and lower the visor.

It resumed normal speed, and my heart resumed beating. Even though I've only slept 3 hours and will have to go back to bed after playing this for a little while. Good thing it's a public holiday.

Also if this doesn't work try pausing and then resuming the download. I was having the same problem and doing this immediately gave me my full download speed with no more Disk Busy problems.

I don't think there's any plate armor around here but I'll check the janitorial closet and see if I can improvise something.
