so you have to wait for unpacking the game (takes for me 5 hours) and after that the game is compiling the shaders (takes between 20 and 40 minutes)

wow, your pc must be ****ty, took less than an hour to unpack steam, and the loading shaders at start took about 5mins

2 hours for me, plus dinner seeing that i live in europe

can someone also add an exp option to the trainer sorry to post it here but i don't have lifetime plus and can't affored it at the moment🙂

Nope. The PC is good so far.
Core i7 9700K
32GB Ram
GF 1080Ti
Samsung 970 PRO Plus 1 TB NVMe M.2.

Refund the game at Steam and buy it again at Epic. No problems there. Downloaded after 20 Minutes and all done in round about 5 Minutes

Yea the unpack time is something that is always harsh on these big install games on day of release.

It's why I make a general rule now where I put them on my fastest nvme ssd drive.

When it started unpacking this game it began to say time remaining was 48 mins, then it quickly dropped down to 11 mins unpack time for the entire thing (which ended up accurate).

Just a tip for everyone else in the future, when downloading "preinstall" games, put them on your fastest ssd. It makes a huge difference.

its usually better to just install the game when it is released instead of pre-loading.
unpacking for me was done in about 10 mins tho.

Says what now?
