How about PSN preload?

[Tom101]

Still no word on PSN as far as I'm aware, but it shouldn't be to long now. Sony likes to keep people waiting!

[Baka-akaB]

[Tom101]

My bad, must of slipped past me.

[Baka-akaB]

[--bienio--]

How about Steam??

[Meltic]

tried downloaded it said donwloading failed... ?

[Tom101]

Are you using GOG.com or Galaxy? Worth remembering that Galaxy in still in beta and Wild Hunt will be giving it a good test today.

[Meltic]

using galaxy. Well i need to download all the files manually then :/:/

[ninsigma]

I hope this comes to pre-load on steam. I just wanna be sure it's going to be there when I get home from work!

[ninsigma]

Wait never mind! There it is!

*Presses preload*

Wooooo! :D

[xPaYDaYx]

Sweet pretty good news to wake up to, downloading now!

[NicSage]

Downloading now! Is TW3 DRM free?

[Paytaa]

Yep. CDPR are one of the devs that speak highly against DRM so none of their games have it.

[sourav93]

Tried downloading through GOG Galaxy, seems like it'll take a month through that. Switched to manual and it says an hour. Sweet.

[NicSage]

I was getting 4-6megs a sec, wish it would had worked better for you.

[sourav93]

Yeah I was hoping to get good speeds with Galaxy, but since it's still in beta, and the fact everyone and their mother is pre-loading TW3, I can give it the benefit of the doubt. The speeds started off fine, but then plummeted. Manual download took exactly an hour; ~6MB/s. Anyways, it's all installed now...7 more days!

[slappy508]

Awesome Im busy downloading it for steam. I was starting to worry I would only be able to download on release day which would take me hours, this will be my first game I play on midnight launch
