Can the server handle the download requests?

I ask this question because on the 27th i would imagine many eger players wanting to both buy and download the game (i have pre-ordered) my question is will the website and download servers be able to handle that many people at once? Ive seen many downloadable game launches in my time and a fair few have angered people for not being able to cope with the massive demand of the game and therefore players end up getting the game a few days later because they can't get on the website because of all the "traffic".

I hope this does not happen with SSE, i know many people want to get it

I have also been thinking about the same question, but i have no answer for it.
Maybe you should send your text to Vstep as a warning!!!

There is no way of knowing, really. Nor to predict it.

We'll just have to wait and see.

There should be sufficient 'power' to sustain it, and/or enough mirrors. But you can't predict it all up front. They will have made an estimate and based on that, will be prepared. But you can't expect a solid yes or no on that, at this point, really.

Thanks Fred, I understand what you are saying, just another question, what time of day do you think it will be releaced or midnight? but yea, i'm guessing we will get some news about that on the site?

[Mad_Fred]

You're welcome!

For Vstep's own channels, I would assume business hours, Dutch time. But don't take that as a solid promise!

And yeah, I reckon there will be an announcement, as per usual!   


Fred.

Buisniss Hours I guess. As the Pre Order did

i sent a question to VSTEP support 3 days ago about the release time and they didnt get back to me. (as usual) the pre orders were on business hours and when i pre ordered the download version it said, you will be emailed as soon as this product becomes available.
i hope this helps
