I sadly have to wait for my partner to install her copy first as this is her only free day, and our Canadian internet is shit. I probably won't get to play until tomorrow evening. Hope everyone enjoys launch day
If you are using steam, you can just copy all the files from your device to hers. Then let steam validate the files and you are off to the races. My spouse and I do this all the time to save of bandwidth and time.
Damn that's a good idea. I haven't installed yet, but will have her copy over to me when it's done in 4 hours lol
FYI, Steam has a new feature where you can install games over local network for friends if both enable it.
Might be handy in this case.
TO further add onto that, the Source player can't be doing anything else. As in not downloading and not playing games at the same time.
I started installing at like 11:05am and it still isnt done yet. Why do i pay for 100 dollar internet!
Same boat here
