Preload worked!

February 14, 2006 5:27 PM from

Figured I'd create a post for all of us (some of us?) to say that we successfully managed to preload GalCiv2 and thank all the devs for the hard work they put in.

Data points if it matters:
OS: WinXP SP2 (English)
Server: Chicago
Purchase Method: pre-order directly through Total Gaming Network
Connection Type: Cablemodem

OS: WinXP Home SP2
Server: Chicago
Purchase Method: Non-Beta pre-order through Stardock Sales
Connection Type: DSL
SDCVersion: 2.29a 374 build 117

The "main" module went at about 80kb/s, but the other three modules were about 180kb/s. Took about 2 hours, all told. No problems at all.

BTW, I like the fact that when I logged in my Stardock account into SDC it made the temp serial number for the game pre-entered. Sweet! (Especially since I have to download/run the game on my roommate's computer...)

Peace & Luv, Liz

After a few tries it streamed down at a very cool 250k/s which considering I was downloading from over in the UK is pretty amazing!

Nice job!

So yeah, it went perfectly. I swore someone said the betatesters were getting the game early though.
