Assassin's Creed IV Pre Loading now begins

not bad, heading over to uplay to see if I can prelaod it as well

hhhh why 260 mb ? lol

Man, that's some optimization.

EDIT: Showing as preload complete, even in 260 mb's O.O

Pre-load is sometimes in "parts" I remember preloading some Steam game (sorry forgot name), it had only 500mb or so, the next day another 1.5gb preload appeared and then finally 4gb. Could be the same case here or just....bugged.

GL rofl, let's see this "next-gen" performance.

Wow, that's one hell of an optimized game. Imagine, minimum quad requirement for only 260MB of data.

Did the same when i preloaded payday 2.

10mb empty folder. until around 2 days before release

I think it's missing two or three zeros

i presume will be another crap port alike assassins creed III

Maximum optimization.

meh nothing on my uplay account showed up yet.

I've had this game for 360 for like a week, still in package... Was the PC release delayed vs the console version?

No money

My guess is the pre-load through steam simply is a small exe that boots up uPlay to download the game, maybe?

I bought the buccanneers edition for PS3 (got a special edition figurine) as well as some expansions, dlcs and some other nice stuff. The game is absolutely stunning :)

Is it possible to play and preload it earlier via proxy like Battlefield?

Probably just the Uplay launcher. Huehuehue.

/sarcasm

preloading now, 17.2 GB

Thought I was being smart by getting a uPlay key instead of Steam. Apparently I was not.
The game releases in 3 hours and I still haven't even received my key! Ubisoft says they'll make it viewable in my order history as soon as the game releases and not a moment sooner.

With how long it took them to get the pre-load situation sorted out, I don't think I'll be playing ACIV anytime soon. At the least a few hours after the release and after I download the entire thing.

Mmh could anyone who got the game thru Uplay confirm me they they have access to their AC4 in Uplay..

I ordered it thru the russian price mistake on RU Ustore and it's linked to my account but I'm wondering if it will be accessible to me in Uplay on the NA release date or the RU release date. Just wondering because my order says the game will appear in my Uplay directly but I got nothing so far.

The game is pretty good, way better than AC3(wich I was unable to complete due to boredome and horrible performance). The optimization is pretty nice too. Im getting around 40 fps at 1600*900 with nearly maxed out settings(AMD HD7770 1gb, 4giga ram(the game is pretty light on ram, only using around 500mb), Phenom X4 B50 3,6ghz)

If you live in America, you get the game today (19th), Europeans will get it in 21th... Damn, I can't wait.

WTF! I pre-loaded it on Uplay and it has 23gb installer!
