[jamest]

I can't even log in!

Want to download it before I go home using the work connection!

 

[Dark88]

uber slow download atm guess steam servers being bombarded! this and everyone downloading DoWII

 

[RobPot]

Looks like it's a little over 2Gb - getting close to 300kb/s

mines nearly done, only 13 mins left

 

[Talrinys]

Yes, it just downloaded a very small bit for me at around 20kb/s and now won't start again, hopefully that means that this game will be as successful as i hope it will be.

 

[joffy]

I've stopped the download, just too slow so will try later or just wait for full game, it's out in just over week.

I tried to play the single player but it was so confusing (on previous titles) is the single player worth learning to play or is the draw for this game playing online ?

 

[FRS2462]

how big is the demo?

2076MB

For anyone getting gash download speeds try restarting steam it should improve things.

your kiddin right
The single player is brilliant, and what the game is all about. Later on there will be a proper mp feature where you can play the grand campaign online.

You can only download demo via steam ? and you need steam installed to play the demo ?

think so yes

i love steam, really solid app in my eyes. i'd buy all my games on it if it weren't so much more expensive (take this game for example!)

From what I've heard the game itself will require Steam like Football Manager 09 (also Sega) and Dawn of War 2.

Its probs CA setting the price on steam, and then steam just take they're cut etc.

 

[Nieldo]

42% and at about 150kb/s

Im guessing steam is also getting loads of downloads for Dawn of War 2.

 

[Dark88]

[Vtec9k]

Well i'm getting about 40 kbs and with more and more people downloading it's going to take some hours before anyone gets it.
