Anything we can do in preparation of the launch time to make things install quicker? πŸ™ˆ

I don't think so, Larian said no preloading before release. I heard that Steam went down when EA was released, so fingers crossed.

I bought it on GOG so I hope it goes up the same time.

Happy release day!

I realized turning off my VPN increased my download speed from 12Mbps to ~85Mpbs on Steam. Might help install quicker, if you've got a VPN running.

I bought EA on Steam and GOG and also the collectors edition, so I've got my bases covered! Downloading Steam first.

Ended up doing the same. All ready to get started now. Enjoy your gaming!
