Pre-download is up!

[Anselmet]

THROW WIDE THE GATES!!!


Also, my dl says 7.5 gigs so I think it's just steadily being increased.

Downloading on PS4 now.

[Cyreil]

Well my patcher just gave up. Think I'll wait.

[NessaWyvern]

Aye, when I cancelled my 2.9GB, and restarted it, it changed to 7.5GB.

See y'all in 7 hours! *cries in slow internet*

7.5gb sounds a bit closer to reasonable. Dunno how much bigger it will get, suppose it depends on file sizes and stuff. 7535.12 MB was what my pc launcher was at last. Can't really patch it fully till tomorrow, regardless.

MY PS4 is fairing better than my PC. PC keeps failing the download. D:

Edit: PS4 is done. ;-;

Kinda upset that it shows Derplander and Lyse but the Logo says Shadowbringers...

[FelixDaCat]

I'm just downloading it all now and while the download speed is lower than my typical speeds (UK, EU data centre), it's only going to take around 80 mins to download the 7.5GB for Win/PC. As long as it's done before 9-10am BST, I'm not too bothered.

I'm going back to reading my favourite book series to help pass the time

I think the reason why the download speed is slow for a lot of people is because so many people are downloading the same thing at once.

Mine started off much lower then I got an error and restarted download and the file this time is 7.5GB's about twice what it was before.

I worry I will not be able to download today because the download keep crashing at certain points with it saying "unable to download [.....] patch".

Not to mention the patch will suddently get very slow with download with it starting from 20 minutes then skyrocket to 200 or more minutes to download.

I think there maybe a issue with the patch files being downloaded due to the revamp towards the entire Classes/Jobs and combat system. However, Day 1 bugs is expect since they did completely revamp the entire combat system in 5.0 at a much larger scale this time.
