Larian has finally confirmed that preloading won’t be available, apparently because of a limitation with Steam.

    Just one more reason why the obsession with the latest greatest OMGWTF HIGH DEFINITION GRAPHICS is the worst thing to happen to gaming since the Atari Jaguar.

      We can compress textures into ridiculously small sizes, I doubt it’s a problem. Audio on the other hand…

      In a dialogue heavy game such as this one, each voice line for each language must be shipped with the game on steam. There’s no way to split the downloads between regions and languages from within developer console on steam.

      I think it’s one of the most popular requests devs posted in the dev forums.
