So when Dawnguard releases what would be the fastest way to download it like to start the download? Curious cuz im going to play the [censored] out of the night it comes out.

Its not going to be at midnight I am pretty sure.

It'll be anywhere from 2:00 to 6:00. Download it from the marketplace and sit for a bit.

If so then

Okay thanks. First time with a DLC release so was wondering.

What do you mean exactly?

And what platform are you playing on?

Add-ons don't always come out at midnight. Sometimes they come out in the early morning or around 7AM-8AM.

Im playing on Xbox 360. What i mean is , would i be able to sit at the Skyrim Add-on page and wait for the Dawnguard Download to pop up or would i have to do something different. And thanks not much experince with Add-ons since i normally download them the next morning but well its Skyrim .

Im going to get off Skyrim every hour after 1:00. If its out, I'll download, if not, back to Skyrim. The Dashboard won't automatically update so you will have to launch a game, app, or demo for it to do so. Then dashboard it and see if it's there.

Okay thanks for the info Someguy. (Lol that looks weird saying (typing but w.e))

I plan on just checking on here when I wake up tomorrow. There will be at least nine thousand threads about it being available. When I see that, I will probably start the download and watch a movie. Just gotta be chill, time will fly.

Its different all over. Last I heard and my last experience with staying up late for a download it was 3 am eastern I think.

True, it will depend heavily on your time zone. I'm in California, so Pacific Time is what I was going by.

I'm in Ohio and the time stamps on here are an hour behind me so it might release at 1 AM for me? That is if it releases at Midnight.

DLC content for every game I've ever played in the last 5 years has always been released sometime between 2:00AM and 6:00AM PST. Skyrim should be no different, and your best bet is to just wake up at 6:00AM PST, start downloading the DLC, and go about your buisness or go back to sleep for an hour or two.

Servers are always flooded on initial release, so it will take some time before your download is finished.

No problem, you'll have to keep looking at the marketplace on the dashboard. I don't trust the DLC pages in games, the dashboard has never steered me wrong.

As far as the time of release goes, that's dependent upon what time zone you're in. I'm in the Central time zone, so if it's at midnight it'll probably be around 2AM for me, because that's when it's 12AM on the west coast. Sometimes that rule is followed, other times an add-on doesn't come out till later in the day.

Wait what do you mean? Marketplace on the dashboard?
