15 Mins to Unlock!!!

5am in NZ and game is unlocking....15 mins seems like a life time....

 

Welcome to CivFanatics. Interesting first post.
Still a few hours to wait here in Europe, which is why i answered

 

I still have to wait 12 hours before it is unlocked.

 

Thanks for the welcome...I've clearly been a long time lurker...still got 12 mins to go....

 

Started unlocking roughly at 00:05 China time. Download size is like 0 MB but HD is working @ 10.5 MB/s to do something... it adds 500 MB to the game size. It's 00:12 and still working, seems half way. Will edit to let you know how long it takes (with an i7-4770 @ 3.40 ghz processor and a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD).

EDIT: it seems steam first checks the pre-load (only HD working for like 20 mins) and now is downloading the 500 MB. So now 5 mins left to download (my internet speed is 1.4 MB/s)

TLDR: 20 mins to unlock pre-load and download with above specs.

ENJOY ALL and thanks for this months of hard waiting!

Will be back after the weekend for first games comments. Ciao

 

Are you having to download anything, Fede1893?

 

Will there be twitch streams in 6 minutes?

 

Im in Europe but its downloading small pieces each 5 or 10 minutes, at least its what it shows on donwloading.

 

Do you know if they will have a demo upon release for those who want to try it out, especially to test whether the game can work on the computer?

 

Directly installing from DVD... Let's see if I need to wait for patches after that...

 

No download for me just straight to unlocking, 5 mins left....

 

500mb Padoura, I installed off the disk as well.

 

Hmm, ready to launch in approximately 5 seconds for the last 5 minutes...

And now I am also confirming that... Perhaps I should cancel my virtual trip for a moment to download...

 

Finished unlocking, now installing Microsoft VC Redist Package step 1of 5

 

another 500mb for the Aztecs as well.

 

Can anybody in the timezone check if there's a demo available?

 

watch this live stream for people waiting 7 hours lif you live in europe;

 

after the pre-load check you download 500 MB

 

Looking at the steam game page for Civ VI - I see no demo....

 

now installing Microsoft Direct X step 5 of 5...
