Anybody have any insight on if we have a download option prior to login when servers are up at 1am?
Just a topic that came up in my FC that I hadn't thought about. Would be nice to be able to have it installed prior to 1am launch to cut in the login queue a bit...
Is Pre-Downloading a Thing?

For PS4/PS5 players, was that something that traditionally downloads in sleep mode or is that a "login to start download" thing too?

Yoshida said during the patch note stream that it's going to be available to download at some point in the afternoon JST. It's currently 8 AM there, so don't expect it for a while still.

Semi related, I bought the expansion on ps4. I got a ps5 yesterday but I don't have the countdown like I do on ps4 for the early access. Will it just work or is there something I have to register?

Updates are supposedly going to start afternoon Japanese time. It's 8:10 am in Tokyo now. We always get the updates well in advance of mantenance ending.

I wonder if the update will start automatically if I leave the greyed out launcher screen open all night.

Steam version here, but it's only 4000something MB. Seems small...

Was getting a check version error with the steam version, it took a couple of tries before it worked and started the update.
Just posting this here so others don't freak out and try to re-install like i almost did. -

Downloaded a file around 4gb give or take. Windows(non-steam)

Yup yup the Windows one is updating, about 4.2 Gigs, might be more files after that *shrug*

Appears to be a multiple drop. The first download is finished on my PC and there is no ex4 data yet. It updated base, ex1, ex2, and ex3... Nothing more.
-
12-03-2021, 10:52 AMVahlnirYeah, I'm pretty sure it was just part one. We will get the rest soon-ish.Quote:

The pre download is now up for the Playstation 5 and I assume for the others but you have to check.
-
12-03-2021, 11:00 AMKrokovMine is only at 7.62 GB. I don't know if there's another one after that though.Quote:

Hey on Windows, the ext4 files are up too, you have to close the launcher, reload it, accept a new TOS, login, then the ext4 files will start. Looking like about 6.2 additional Gigs
