What time exactly on friday will I be able to download?

jpeters1734 · 03-16-2015, 05:52 PM

So I pre-ordered 16 on announcement and will be getting access on Friday. I fly from Germany to the US on Friday and would LOVE to play 16 on the plane. I also have a 4 hour layover in Zurich

. So when can we download?

Sadly the solar eclipse is going to break the internet on Friday. You know what people are like when these events happen.

(Normally around lunch time from what I can remember from previous years, but that doesn't mean anything for this year. Could be 10am German time, might well be 10pm German time.)

That's why "sick days" were invented.

Don't forget, we in North America are an hour closer to Germany than we normally are because we just moved the clocks forward. So it's an hour later than usual for us.

And then getting a letter in the file (or fired) for taking a sick day and somehow getting caught playing video games.

No comment... if we release the exact time our servers would crash. So, just enjoy the surprise...

Here in most parts of Canada, you're entitled to 10 emergency/sick days per calendar year.

It will be tempting, but I'll hold off.

It's usually sometime mid-afternoon in the UK, so 8-9am Eastern, 5-6am Pacific.

It's going to be hell working 8am to 7pm Friday and Saturday and knowing that OOTP 16 will be available.

Thank goodness I pre-ordered.

The honest answer to this is within a few moments of you receiving the email. It depends where you are on the queue of the emails. The earlier you order, the earlier you get the email.

Already scheduled a half sick day for Friday. I will be leaving at Noon. Scheduled a full day off for Opening Day as well on April 6th.

It's nice to work for the Government and you can schedule your sickness well in advance.

jpeters1734 · 03-17-2015, 11:01 AM

How big is the file usually? I'm wondering if it's realistic to download at an air port Or is it a pipe dream to be able to get this on time for the plane?

Assos · 03-17-2015, 11:04 AM

This is bigger then Kim Kardashian! We are going to break the internet with our downloads!

OOTP 15 was almost a third of a GB. I am predicting 16 will be about 400 MB. It's possible. Depends on connection and how early you want to be at the airport.

My prediction is last boarding call for the flight and 87% download completed... What to do?
