How big of a download are we talking about?


I can't ascertain the update file size from Googling. When I got the update, Steam didn't show any file size. But to give you some idea, I have DSL, and it took me about thirty minutes to finish the update.

Thirty minutes? about 4 here <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I believe it's about 300 MB, but I don't remember.

It's a lot to say the least.

It's less if you have HL2 and DOD:S assets on your computer already (from what I hear).

On my connection, that would take, say, 2 - 3 days <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

I was gonna say, that despite it saying it was about 340mb or whatever, it installed for me in minutes. I started it going, went off to watch my flatmate play his new game, then came back five minutes later to find it installed.

So now the question is. I assume this is a Steam option you choose like installing a new game file?

OK, I will look for it. I only hope that Steam has a decent resume cause I cannot tie up my phone for a week solid.

i don't know what else, if anything, would be downloaded, but the lostcoast folder that gets created weighs in at just under 60mb. the dl might even be less than that, if it comes in compressed form before being extracted to that folder.

fishy, if you have HL2 and DoD:S assets already, I think that's the case.

I will have to update you guys when its completed but, upon firing up Steam and after its updates completed (almost 10 megs again ) I clicked on the link to begin the download. I was at 88% complete from the beginning so I am assuming it is borrowing components from elsewhere. At 89% it was approximately 10 megs already downloaded so I am assuming that I need an additional 110 megs yet.

54 minutes and 14 megs complete so far. Isn't 56k grand. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

5 hours 15 minutes 77 megs and 91%.

I'm in freaking trouble.

[edit]

6 hours? 86 megs and 92%

My freaking connection failed so I will be unsure exactly how big the total download will be in the end. smiley

Screw it. I'll finish later.

I feel your pain buddy. Up until Thursday I was on 56k too (I had forgotten quite how painful it is after having used broadband for a few years.) Fortunately, BT finally got around to activating my 2mb broadband connection so I downloaded it on Friday in about 15 minutes.

Played through it all (twice, as others have done, without commentary then with.) Looks amazing - I especially liked the church part.

The HDR wasn't quite the "PC killer" it had been made out to be; I was able to run it with settings maxed out (apart from the AA being a few notches down from full) at a pretty rock solid framerate.

Its a portal to another dimension obviously... See if you can pry it open wide enough to get through with your crowbar.

98% and many sessions/connections later. I have no clue how many megs so far. My luck, the warning I received that I have insufficient ram will prevent the game from loading after I finish.
