Welp, it's 4 AM in my part of the world, and now I'm wondering if I should try to get a few hours of sleep or just stay awake and wait until the game unlocks. I think I'll try the former because I'd rather not feel like a zombie all day, though I don't expect to actually get any sleep at this point.

Why in the gently caress am I so excited about a video game?

I was originally appeasing myself by saying "hey at least it'll get here on my day off" but I'm so much more psyched about it getting here tomorrow you have no idea.

I already have the preload sitting on C. What I mean was when it unlocks, does the usual install options thing come up? And then I can tell it to install elsewhere?
You should be able to specify where the game installs once it unlocks. The encrypted temp files are just downloaded to the Steam directory for preload purposes. Whether they'll allow that to be changed at some point in the future is anybody's guess.

Of course unlocking the preload will probably take a while. Anyone know if having the preload on a SSD will speed it up?

Possibly, but probably not unless it's vs a pretty dirty mechanical drive. Volition's pretty good about not dividing the game into 50,000 files, and SR3 ran better off a not-SSD than 2 did.

drat it, I caved in and bought it. I blame life, society and my education for this!

And gently caress it, I'm staying awake to play it in two hours. I had so much fun with the SR3, I'm sure this will be a blast.

I think they were asking if an SSD would speed-up the decryption process. The answer to that is potentially yes, but if the activation server is getting hammered the fastest drive in the world wont help you.

It's also simple as hell to just look up the current time in whatever time zone and compare against your own to figure out when the game's release time is for you. But I guess that's too much for some people. :effort:

I would assume it should work for us Nvidia owners fine, I don't think they changed that much. Performance might suffer a little, hopefully my 650 TI Boost should be able to handle it. It plays SRTT like a champ.

TDR. Basically the display driver failed spectacularly after X idle time or under unpredictable circumstance Y for a good six months.

It's more or less worked around (or at least doesn't cause unrecoverable damage anymore) in drivers on most cards in 326.41 and a proper fix should be available from nV in a few days.

But for now it'll still make Saints Row IV feel boss.
