Come on computer.....work... with... me...

Exact same situation. I can understand the CPU working to decompress the files, but what's up with the GPU being maxed out.

Because the launcher is seen as a 3D application and it's not capped, so it's just hammering out frames. Limit the FPS of it while you download.

Use MSI afterburner to limit your FPS. It will work.

So many of you already flying and I'm sitting here with just 8GB downloaded so far. Feels bad man.

Don't !  I don't even think about it with my present connection 🙂.  

Are you downloading the game or the update to the Aerosoft army of DVD ?  I wonder how large it is.

NDA will never lift, you aren't allowed to share what you saw under the alpha or beta.

and Steam didn't even hit yet 🙂

 

It took me 40 minutes to install. Half of that was decompression of the files. Download speed is very fast.

Downloading. Will check it out when I get back from work!

It's taking forever to download. 11 Gigabytes downloaded after 1,5 hours....

As I suspected the download speeds are horrible even with a 100Gb internet connection.

Imagine the download speeds tomorrow when the rest of the world is downloading after us kiribatians.

5GB downloaded after ~7 minutes here... of course I'm on a 1Gbps connection.

Seeing as y'all are waiting for downloads and have nothing better to do (I got the "insert disc" prompt, boo!), here's something interesting! Kiribati isn't pronounced how you think it should be pronounced, go search how and come back with the phonetic answer! 😄

Purchasing the Game Pass for $1 in addition to changing your region will fix the disc issue (regardless of version).

Thanks, that did the trick! Limited to 1FPS, GPU is pretty much idle now.

Downloading the full game with Xbox Game Pass, the launcher is about 1GB and the content that will be installed from within the launcher is 91,36GB.
