Larian has finally confirmed that preloading won’t be available, apparently because of a limitation with Steam.

      • Lmao 230gigs fuck that. Sitting here cursing my own life because I have 10 gigs of Sims 4 mods. For 230GB the game better come with a hologram that pops out of a USB port to suck my fucking cock.

        • The only games I’ll bother keeping installed that are over 100gb are my ESO with all the addons on PC, and Star Wars Battlefront II on PS5, and only because my friends and I play co-op every Friday night. But it’s still ludicrous. My most played game recently, Battlebit Remastered, is a whopping 3 GB lol.

      • We can compress textures into ridiculously small sizes, I doubt it’s a problem. Audio on the other hand…

        In a dialogue heavy game such as this one, each voice line for each language must be shipped with the game on steam. There’s no way to split the downloads between regions and languages from within developer console on steam.

        I think it’s one of the most popular requests devs posted in the dev forums.
