No problem, that’s why I posted it! I’d hate for some people to be stuck downloading it on the 29th!

Do you know what time it is being released, as I’m in the UK I guess it will be in the afternoon sometime.

No idea, 343 is Pacific UTC, and I’ve heard of it launching at 8:00am, or midnight.

It is worth to mention that despite the preload being the 10.27 gygabyte beta there will also be a 8 gygabyte update on the 29th, so get to download it early

thnks for the info!!

Source pls!!

Had the early access and it wants a 7 gb patch I assume this is the pre load.

IIRC - Preload starts 10 PM Pacific (GMT-8), beta opens 9 AM

Around those times, at least.
