I've had a couple I think but not like this one. Woot! Couple more days.

You hit 1.6 MB/s mine was 1.2 MB/s constantly. Sometimes higher of course but the constant speed was 1.2MB/s

I agree with you though who cares. It doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't go at like 5 to 90 KB/sec then I would care. Sense it would take longer to download it than actually just buy the game on dvd when it was released. I am glad steam lets you preload games because if they didn't there could be a huge bottleneck when everyone goes to download any game right when it is released. Then again maybe I am underestimating steam's servers.

 

[pcslookout]

That left me with a curious question I always wondered. What is the maximum amount of bandwidth that steam servers can saturate ? There has to be a limit. Anyone on FIOS who downloads steam games ? What is your constant maximum speed you get ? I know there has to be a speed limit of how fast you can download from steam unless it depends on how many people are downloading from the steam servers at once on what the limit may be.

It depends heavily on how many people are downloading.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

The demo just started crashing on me consistently seemingly out of the blue, hope I can figure out the cause of the instability, and hopefully there is a fix for it. Played the hell out of it the past few days and didn't have this problem...but now I can play through once or twice and then it'll crash on me, done it about 4 times tonight thus far. Would be a bitch and a half to start to get into the game, get decently far on expert, and then crash right before the end of a level.

Yeah. So what do you think is the maximum speed someone on 30 mbps/5 mbps FIOS can get on steam when downloading at the least busiest time ?

I cared! I cared because i thought i had a really awesome super fast speed there and you guys totally burst my bubble and ruined it with "mines faster!" lol

Sorry to be a thread necro.

But... Its a 49.99 game (which IS industry standard to some extent) but I dunno...

I was thinking 29.99 I would have for sure bought it.

39.99 if I started hearing ALOT of hype after it was released..

: / Guess i'll wait for it to go on sale somewhere

After playing the demo, $29.95 seems about right. 24 or 19 even.

$50 for this is too much. I'll enjoy the demo a bit then move on I think. Maybe if it goes on sale someday.

It's weird that there are so many crashing issues. It's built off of Source, so how much could they really have changed the engine?

I'll agree w/ Smilin, $50 seems a little steep. I'll wait for it to be on sale.

I'm having crashes galore. I was definitely going to buy it, but now, probably not, I mean I can barely play a level or two without crashes.

 

[tailes151]

Try switching from fullscreen to windowed without borders. Worked for me and I havent crashed since.

I've never had it crash on me, even with my old ass system.

This has me thinking twice too.
I'm waiting till the last minute to preorder for the $5 discount and playing the demo more, trying to decide if its worth $45.
I think $40 or $39.95 would have been perfect.

Yeah... it was $49 for me because of tax... I kinda regret buying the game now. O_O I wish I could cancel.

It comes and goes, and I have no idea what's causing it. heh. If I did it'd atleast be better.
