In some cases the game refused to decrypt and the entire game had to be re-downloaded.

So better safe than sorry I suppose.

I had to move ESO off my SSD to avoid that issue lol. :D

No idea, haven't done more research to find out. Just glad I saw it because the hard drive with all my Steam games on it is pretty full at the moment. Not that I bought GTA5 yet, but for future reference :)

So... Once the decryption is done it goes back to its original size I hope... :cool:

Yeah I would hope so as well. Perhaps [MENTION=96]Isengard[/MENTION] knows since he has the game? :)

Hey what's the cheapest you guys have gotten this for and where?

I'm really itching to get it but R650 sounds like I am throwing away money.

Haven't bought it yet, but I'm considering it now. It is $60 on Steam, which at the moment works out to about R730. It costs R699 at BT Games which is the lowest price I have seen. I would like to own it on Steam, but downloading 60GB will take quite a while, even on my 10M line.
[MENTION=17]Eugene[/MENTION], how big was the actual download from Steam? Because they usually compress their downloads quite a bit so the download should have been less than 60GB?

And here I was hoping for good news. I don't want to download 15 hours minimum for the game :/
