pretty sure Steam work of US time.. if they do then DL might not be active untill ~5am
hope not, but we can DL soon whatever the case

No IV was broken for so many people, even long after launch. Google it. Great content, as always, but performance was so poor - even on a quad core - that it was essentially broken. It was unplayable.

I benchmarked it the other day, just for the hell of it. Hence my earlier comment in the thread that seemed to upset someone.

The benchmark always crashed on my old setup too.

Incidentally the benchmark is rubbish in GTA IV as it doesn't stress the game to the sort of levels you get whilst playing.

Steam normally don't release until around 10am PST, be surprised if this changes just for GTAV.

Heard a rumor just now that Amazon Digital order won't be issued keys until the 14th. Doesn't bode well for the smaller etailers like GMG/CJS et al.

ive accepted them as friends, then posted them my home address and mobile number... gotta play the odds that one of them could be a hot chick

Never had one, those are bots most likely.

Yeah, not UK midnight but probably West Coast USA midnight, which means around 8am for us Brits.

Looks like we will have to wait a little longer.

Modders never fixed anything, my God you people make it sound like the game was unplayable. IV was a great game out of the box.

i wouldnt say out of the box but after patch 3 or 4 the game was perfectly playable but i am getting pretty sick of people spouting the same old crap about GTA IV tho

i bet half of them never played it on the PC but are just posting this and that cause everyone else is

Why don't shops like currys/pcworld etc have a "Steam Zone". Basically a box with preload game files on.

At home I go on steam, pre-purchase the game.
I then get given a code
I take the code to the Steam Zone and plug in a USB stick/HDD
Pre-load files get copied onto it
I then use the steam client at home to copy them into my Steam install

I have a 4Mbps ADSL line, I simply cannot download 65G it would take about 2 days assuming I get full bandwidth and don't want to use my internet connection for anything else at all.

How are the physical copies released ? 7 DVDs ?

Or you could just buy the retail version and be done with it?
