I'm on very fast internet so not a concern for me any more, but it's nice they're giving people nearly 2 weeks to download that much.

dr_rus · Sep 30, 2016

Even with .222 update released yesterday they still start the download silently after a purchase on the default drive which is system SSD usually instead of asking where to install these 73GBs. FFS MS.

Window Store bottlenecks your download speed for a significant amount of people so I wouldn't be so sure.

Yeah, it's really hit or miss.

I guess I'll have to delete something; even having a dedicated ssd for gaming isn't cutting it these days xD

Even if there isn't enough room available? Because I have like 20GB left on my system SSD so it wouldn't get far.

Cant you just change the default drive for new apps?

I don't know, I have ~200GBs free on SSD so can't tell what will happen if there's no space. But right now I had to do this: open the WinStore, buy the game, stop it's automatic download to SSD, close the store, open the store, find the game in the library, manually start the download - and only then I got the prompt on where to install it. 2016, yeah.

You can but I don't want to install all my WinStore apps to my gaming HDD by default.

Raxus · Sep 30, 2016

It says I purchased it but no preload. What did I do wrong?

Looks like I'll have to keep my PC running during the night for a couple of days to finish this :O Downloading super slow for some reason.

tuna_love · Sep 30, 2016

mine finished super quick, like 3 hours or so, horizon 3 took forever

Kenzodielocke · Sep 30, 2016

Is there no way to show download speeds I'm getting?

J_ToSaveTheDay · Sep 30, 2016

I'll have to uninstall Forza Horizon 3 on my PC to make room for this, but I don't mind seeing as to how Horizon 3 is currently unplayable on my laptop. Will feel a bit confused as to what to do if Horizon 3 receives a good patch for performance, though...

Guess I'll start it up when I go to sleep in a couple of hours.

Knurek · Sep 30, 2016

Does this also require a full system reinstall just to start the preload, like Forza 3 did?

TheChewyWaffles · Sep 30, 2016

Not seeing it in my download list.

So.... how does one limit network bandwidth usage for Windows Store downloads?

I changed my folder a couple days ago to my "Games SSD", first thing it did was create like 5 random folders on the root of that drive, feels good mang... :-/

Would have been too crazy to allow you to point to a subfolder on a drive, the tech just isn't there yet.

Addnan · Sep 30, 2016

85GB downloaded.. How big is this game

Bl@de · Sep 30, 2016

dmix90 said:

Simple. You install third party software (NetLimiter) and limit the process causing the traffic because the store itself has no limit option. With every restart you have to look for the right process again. Couldn't be simpler.

Cheers! Looks like that worked... not from first try but was able to limit svchost.exe via latest version of NetLimiter app.

We need bigger SSDs to compensate.

It's not preloading for me. It says there is an error on their end.

Genio88 · Sep 30, 2016

We were already told that it would have bin a big file, i thought they said 90GB...it'll surly fill my second SSD for good, though i don't care, i just hope it'll download faster, it's going quite slowly right now, even for my connection standards

We need cheaper SSD to compensate, 1TB SSDs are out there but the price is ridiculous

Deleted member 325805 · Sep 30, 2016

I thought my 500gb SSD would be enough for awhile but with this, WoW and a couple of other games it's going to be full. Now they just need to make 1TB+ affordable for average Joe.

You can change the settings so the default drive is another drive.

It should ask you where you want to install stuff every time. Only thing I have on a different drive is Forza and Halo, everything else still goes to the default boot partition. The extra folders it makes in root of custom locations is annoying though.

Rip. You got the Xbox 360 version.

I'll down the game a day or two on advance. Probably take me 15 mins or so. Just have to make the SSD space.

This is what I get over and over, no matter what. Windows is updated, including the Major Nelson KB.

They did say it was gonna be a "slow" rollout. So it could be not available yet.

On topic, bodies is ready. I just hope it isn't a mess like forza horizon 3 is.
