The preload on my PS4 claims to be complete, but I'm certain it didn't download 50GB in the span of fifteen minutes.

All preloads work like this. It downloads enough to get started (if the game were activated, you'd more than likely be able to play at least the opening section before having to wait for the rest of the download to finish), and then downloads the rest silently in the background. If you check the information for it, you'll see that the download progress is still increasing.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Didn't catch how much the main GTA5 install downloaded but the update file comes down at 1.14 gigs, main game being 50.2 gigs (Europe).

That seems to be it though. Hoping my internet manages once we get to start here in a day and nine hours and many minutes.


e: Ohhh it's doing the stealthy-rear end download for me, nothing under notifications but hidden and visible only once you hit options-notifications on the game itself:


Obscenely slow and I'm in Sweden with an otherwise super fast PSN network, this will be a gargantuan-rear end release. If you did a digital pre-order, get in and download ASAP.

It did the initial 5 or so GB really fast, and then the rest goes by quite slow in the background. If you go to storage - applications - GTA V, you can see the progression. I'm guessing the speed has been capped to maybe deal with the server load this thing is going to cause.

Can echo this - start the initial download now and don't turn off your PS4 so it continues to download in the background.

Or to use the standby-mode downloading. I hope it's throttled, my 100mbps line feels slow.

Also there'll be PSN downtime tomorrow. Extra reason to let it sit overnight :ohdear:

e: Now it sped up to approach my max of ten megabytes per second. Get downloading while you can

Linx posted:

Not specifically for next gen, but a lot of the regulars that kept playing last gen, up until this new release, are apart of the LLJK crew.

The other goon crews were goon street, 1000-1009(?), mountain crew, weazel action news, and I think one other one.

edit; gamestop is doing a midnight launch so I guess I am staying physical after all.

It's up for PS4 and Xbone, not sure about Xbone but for the PS4 you need to have chosen automation, or open up GTAV in the store on the PS4 and hit Download. You'll need a head-start in downloads.

The option button of the DS4, while the game is marked in the standard PS4 menu.

Can also go to;

Settings > System Storage Management > Applications > <game you want to check>

Yeah I had to manually start the pre-load, even though my settings are for it to start automatically. I went to PS4 library, picked GTA 5 and the download finally started.

It will probably be worth the wait.

I'm thinking about getting the PS4 version now and selling it later to invest in the PC version when it's released. As long as I don't burn out on it then I should be fine.

Keep checking your library, mine was the same way but I just looked and the option to download was below the timer finally.

It's new. After they raised crew size limits LLJK got set up to be the cross-platform crew for everyone.

Not if they throttle the downloads to not push them past the limit. I wonder if they can buy extra bandwidth from Amazon just for release.

Does anyone know what the black box is, that appears during streams, that is censored from the viewers? I imagine it is something saying your viewers can't listen to the music or something.

Does anyone know, if you can stream at the same time as having your own personal music playing through the USB?

Make sure you actually have all 46-51.38 gigabytes of it via the information tab on the game :ohdear: by default it grabs 600ish megs and a 1.4 gig patch, downloading the rest in the background that's not visible under notifications.

The black box covers incoming notifications of things like messages and friend activities. I'll check the personal music thing after my download finishes
