Even living in Japan, I decided to buy the game on Steam anyway, I'll try to activate the game via VPN on 11/11/11.

I was not expecting to be able to preload the game just now, but for my surprise, not only I was able to do it, but I downloaded at blazing speeds, very few times I saw my 200MB fiber optic connection work at full power.

Barely 5 minutes total, that was amazing to watch.

Bozz, is that you? Haha

23 mbps... and I thought my 2mbps was impressive. Must be nice not having capitalistic cable companies dominating internet speed over there..

I...what. What. 10/10, good sir.

Also my pre load is going at under 200 KB/sec. [censored]. But at this rate it will still finish by friday which is all that matters.

Bozz, is that you? Haha

Yes!

I came here to complain about the japanese release date, then decided to stick around, it's a great place and fun to read.

Pre-load complete. Now we play the waiting game....

Ah, the waiting game svcks. Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos.

» Mon May 07, 2012 4:24 pm

Great news. If I hadn't just started DL'ing Rage (21GB, sheesh)....I know I could pause one and start the other but I'll wait. Still, why oh why does Steam always give me only 2.5ish MB/s when my connection is so much faster....sometimes at 3am it goes up to 6-7MB/s but...bah humbug. :laugh:

...after Rage, Skyrim pre-load here I come!

Would read again.

OT - Just got home from work and pre-loading. Wheeeee

Is that the size of the full game or we will have to install it after the download? :unsure:

» Mon May 07, 2012 2:41 pm

Started pre-load of Skyrim then decide to check my email and see I got a beta invite for SWTOR (only for this weekend).... Too much.

» Mon May 07, 2012 5:35 pm

Yah, thought I'd check the forums and saw the announcment of preloading in progress.

So I went ahead and plunked money into the Steam kitty.

For what it is worth, downloading at a steady 1.2 MB/S , so it says.
Should take less than 2 hours total. Comcast Houston, downloading from the alleged Houston Steam hub.

A question to which "that" would be the answer hadn't entered my mind.
Honest.

I held out even making my first post on these forums until I could come home from work and download SKYRIM!!! Now that that is possible, hello world!!! Not my first venture into Bethesda tho. Morrowind, Oblivion, now Skyrim, and lets not forget about Burnout back in the day. Love ya guys in Maryland.

What appid Skyrim has?

» Mon May 07, 2012 2:30 pm

Umm... I bought the game on Steam, I live in the US and I see no option to pre-load. In steam I jsut see news and on the website it has a new thing that just says I own the game. Thats it no Pre-load Option. What am I missing?

right click the game, look at the option with info on it, and click it, will give preload option if it didnt show automatically

» Mon May 07, 2012 3:23 pm

Just finished pre-loading after about 15 minutes.

» Mon May 07, 2012 7:47 am

Do I need an internet connection to pre-load Skyrim?
