The only game I pre-loaded was Skyrim. It worked well. I did have to revalidate one file. That was better than having to redo the whole she-bang!
I preloaded Skyrim, and it screwed up for me.
Seems like it's a dice roll whether it ****s up or not.
Yay for Beyond Earth! Arriving on one of those weird silver disc things tomorrow by post. Will put that in my computer box and install from there after work. Will probably then have to update on the interweb or something.
Still, looking forward to the game once it gets going.
A silver disc thing... what is this technology of yore you speak of?
