Jobling1983 22 Posted June 26 Ive heard its not worth pre-loading unless your internet speed is terrible. Uses more hard disk space and longer to unpack then just downloading on release day. Anyone think its worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least with F1 2016, it would've been quicker to download the game than wait for like 4-5 hours for it to decode. I was using a HDD, so that certainly has some effect in it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiidesire 27 Posted June 26 I'm in the fortunate situation to have a 1000 Mbit/s connection (Download). I remember having to download games with a 6 Mbit/s connection, it was a pain. I just checked and for F1 2019, preload was available roughly 60 hours (2 1/2 days) before the release of the Legends Edition. Obviously it won't be exactly the same for F1 2020, but potentially the preload for the Schumacher Edition could begin on Saturday (4th July). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiidesire 27 Posted June 27 (edited) Xbox Preload has started today already (27th June). Download size 42.9GB. PS4 - 5th July. Looks like 4th or 5th July for Steam is getting likely. Edited June 27 by Wiidesire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a very slow internet (2mb),it may not be worthwhile to transfer the pre load and then have a very large patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mscforever 5 Posted June 27 that "early access" thing... 3 days before release... but I think that it will be only "available to download" 3 days earlier. still wait to play till the 10th of the month... am I wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
