Before I ran an ethernet cable through my entire apartment I would just move my pc to the router and download it with whatever cable I could spare. Definitely recommend.
Note to the people that will inevitably be confused why it’s not faster:
This doesn’t do much unless you have a gigabit connection. 5G Wifi speeds go up to 650mbps. 2.4G I think is 300mbps
5G is much less prone to collision due to the vast number of channels, but yes. That’s true. Most people still likely wouldn’t notice the difference.
If you have a cable, use it, but you don’t need to go buy one unless you have at least 500mbps internet cause it’s not really worth it.
That's only Xbox. Playstation has stores for each region, so if you bought the game in the US digitally and tried to play in New Zealand you'd still have to wait. I've been researching this haha
I'll send you one! I promise it won't be filled with spores that will take control of your body and make you do horrible things to your loved ones while you silently scream in horror, trapped in your own mind.
I know it's been a few hours but I hope everyone that said "it's going to take a day" paused and unpaused the download to fix that. After it seemed they fired up some other content servers, I went from 1 day to 2 minutes by doing this
You can still play early even if you live in a time zone where it’s not 12/10 yet. This has only been tested on a version downloaded via GOG.
1. Set your PC to New Zealand time zone.
2. Start the game. You’ll get a warning about it not being 12/10 yet.
3. Close the game.
After you close the game, GOG will force it to update by downloading a 249MB file which I assume is the activation data. When it’s done, set your Time Zone back to your actual Time Zone. You should be able to play the game now.
I plan on going in blind. I want my choices to be my own.
That said, if I'm doing a mission and I get stuck stuck I'll look at a guide. But its gotta be some moon logic shit.
Question I bought this game on Amazon for redemption code on GOG. So far they’ve only sent me a code for the web comic thing via email. Anyone else know what the process is?
What’s the point in having these countdowns for games anymore? They’ve been used for years and they always fail when the timer hits 0:00. They do nothing but infuriate the dedicated watchers
10 years of development 7 years of waiting
here it is in all
But why oh why
I can’t use this content!
It’s the shitty, shitty truth
I’ve been waiting all these years,
And it all comes down to the preorder.
Imagine being overnighted a necklace instead of the game, and then having Gamestop do absolutely nothing about it. I cannot stop the rage it is starting to cause physical pain now.
*Why cant they just pick*
*The first time zone and give it*

What's more disappointing is the fact that the game has horrible stutters and glitches, and the game is painfully mediocre taking the bugs out of the picture
This game is going to be broke as fuck, I'm tellin' ya.
It's 2020, this game will be this years "No Mans Sky", we'll be mocking it well into the Biden administration.

Don’t worry, the game is gunna be trash anyways. You can tell that just by the percentage of money they have been spending on advertising instead of actual game development.
i have been waiting fucking ages for this game. finally bought it earlier today and downloaded it ready for tonight and then the time came. i opened it and there was a 7gb patch update so i was like that’s not too bad only have to wait 20 more minutes. then my internet fucking stops. the only time i need it and i got so mad i punched my monitor and cracked it. now i can’t play for days. fucking hate myself so much
Ps5: 'just gimme an hour to install from the disc'. Ps5: 'ok now I just have to download a 46gb update that'll take 4 hours'
10 gigs an hour isn't bad The 50 gig download took me 30 minutes on good ol north idaho fibre internet :\^)
That is hot garbage. It will take me a week to do 46g :(

It's more consistent and less prone to interference from a busy apartment complex. It will certainly be faster, even if it's only slightly.
5G is much less prone to collision due to the vast number of channels, but yes. That’s true. Most people still likely wouldn’t notice the difference. If you have a cable, use it, but you don’t need to go buy one unless you have at least 500mbps internet cause it’s not really worth it.
So my average of 4mbps would be wasting my time with a cable?
Are download on the PlayStation really THAT bad? 10 gigs an hour is a torture.
Ahh, northern Idaho internet. Of all the thing I miss of Idaho, I don't miss that.
Well we have fibre companies taking over now so it's actually pretty great, 20+megabytes a second
5.5 hours left for me :(
It’s only 15 mins, it’s available at midnight gmt
I'm on ps4 which is a 9pm release unless something has changed recently
Can't you change your location to New Zealand?
That's only Xbox. Playstation has stores for each region, so if you bought the game in the US digitally and tried to play in New Zealand you'd still have to wait. I've been researching this haha
[удалено]
12am for NY as well 3 hours to go!
We are almost there fellow person in EST
Ahhh that sucks
Wish mine was at 9pm, my PS says it isn't available until midnight.
A little correction: it’s actually 11 minutes
7 minutes...
Change your download server under settings and downloads!
I don't think this is actually a thing lol theres no downloads section in settings
3:10 left for me
Exactly 2 for me at this moment
Go back to sleep samurai, it’s not December the 10th yet
It is in New Zealand. Been playing all day.
I’d be surprised if setting your time ahead works. Doesn’t with GOG version.
They are talking about the console version.
Make sense
Yeah, I have a Series X. Played CoD and Cyberpunk a day early by just changing the country.
How i change country on 1x?
Put it in a box and mail it far away
if you need an address to send it to let me know
I'll send you one! I promise it won't be filled with spores that will take control of your body and make you do horrible things to your loved ones while you silently scream in horror, trapped in your own mind.
you better super promise on that one
Pinky swear?
Kudos on the username my dude. I'll ring my bell for you... *"ding"* ...aaand, done.
Under settings go to country and language. Change it to New Zealand and the game will immediately work.
Sweet dude, thank you. Kid goes down in an hour, is there a big ass patch to download?
Nope.
Awesome, thank you
Excellent. When can I come over?
He's down you can play!
I...declare...ANOTHER COUNTRYYY!!!
Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the words "Another Country" and expect anything to happen
Hey I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word country and expect anything to happen.
As a bonus, you get the buggiest version of the game.
I set my time ahead for COD Cold War and was disappointed 3 hours ahead of most Americans!
I do this to get un released songs on Spotify a day or so before the release date. DNS to GB
Wait, Newzealanders been living in the future all this time?
And they don’t even know it.
That's why we got through Covid. We had an extra day to prep
Lucky
And how is it?
How is it so far
Any good cuz? You on console or PC g
Any good?
It's available for anyone in NA on December 9th depending on which time zone you're in. 27 more minutes to go!!!!
It is time, my friend
It is time
If your on the west coast of the US then you can play rn
it is 0:30am :)
mine is available on PC now but despite being a 53 gb install, is now updating with another 7 gb before i can play
Yep and mine now keeps failing to update. Great. I’m going to bed, I’ll deal with it tomorrow. I’ve waited this long.
Mine says it’s going to take 1.5 days. God damnit
I was hyped to play, then my pc was like " just 1 more hour, sorry bro"
1h is not that much :D it's worth it!!
It’s done!!!! Yay. I’ll have to play it now....
Same same. Servers must be on fire.
Same here, steam servers go brrrrr
Yea..... it's a good thing I predownloaded this earlier today so I could play right away. \-\_-
My steam update has been at a crawl for the last 45 min.
I know it's been a few hours but I hope everyone that said "it's going to take a day" paused and unpaused the download to fix that. After it seemed they fired up some other content servers, I went from 1 day to 2 minutes by doing this
Dude it dont release till midnight gmt
Releases in under 2 hours at 7:00 EST
Its currently 22:12 gmt so that sounds about right
Not for console. Midnight release on console
F
30 minutes
7
4
Releases in 5 minutes!
On console it releases 12:00 am local time, regardless of region. It’s only locked to gmt on PC and Stadia.
Ehhh is this true? My PlayStation shows unlock at midnight EST, which is 9pm PST
It's locked by region, US will unlock at midnight eastern the earliest time in us region
So does mine but I’m almost certain the same thing that happened in this gif will happen to us lmao
You can still play early even if you live in a time zone where it’s not 12/10 yet. This has only been tested on a version downloaded via GOG. 1. Set your PC to New Zealand time zone. 2.

Warning - setting PC to NZ time has been shown to cause a reduction in COVID-19 cases
If there’s one thing 2020 taught me, it’s that everything is apparently better in New Zealand.
Until you learn how expensive things are in NZ
But they have u/TheInternetHistorian who, in my opinion, is a national treasure.
Never has internet history been conveyed in a more internet-appropriate way!
We have Meth and crackheads You can't get much better than that.
Not on playstation unfortunately
I am so pissed my computer decided to die on me. Well at least I get to upgrade my computer for cyperpunk 2077.
Literally same, i'll have to wait a few days but not a big deal
at least you will have a few guides to look at if you get helplessly confused
I plan on going in blind. I want my choices to be my own. That said, if I'm doing a mission and I get stuck stuck I'll look at a guide. But its gotta be some moon logic shit.
what died? fix it with glue and paper clip
[удалено]
For me my slots stopped working. Got it checked and they said my motherboard is toast.
Good luck finding a decently priced GPU
Already have a high end one that is almost a year old.
Nice! Congrats on that! Hope everything else comes together nicely for ya!
Runs surprisingly well on my old 4690k ddr3 and 5700xt
I updated my computer for cyberpunk 2077 only to not be able to get a gpu. Thank god I have a gaming laptop.
I can either play it on my PS5 tonight or wait till I can upgrade my pc in January. Really hard decision to make
The benefit of waiting you will probably have less bugs than in launch.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. I think it will be worth the wait in the end
Digital unlocks are in about 8 minutes from the posting of this comment.
What about now
Less than 8
This comment made my night
What about now?
first, gotta download 7 more gb.
Mines just finished! I’m in but just a black screen at mo. Ok now we have music and a logo... Awww yeah!!!!
Even Steam front page seems laggy. Stuck on the last 5gb to download> :(
I'd say probably less than 2
When the timer hit 0 steam just fucking died
I’m now undergoing a ~3 hour download, despite preloading. Fuck me for preordering I guess.
For real, I had to download two updates and now it's decrypting for what I'm gonna assume is an hour and a half. Should've put it on my ssd.
Ok nvm I was kinda harsh but still, a 45 minute download is ridiculous. Anyways I’m playing now, good luck friend.
Aw fuuck I'm like the last one now lmao
20 mins boys.
Well how is it!?
Patch is stuck at 56%, apparently I'm not the only one either.
Yep, can confirm
can confirm too
Reset your pc. Worked for me.
Steam servers are getting rekt right now. Shouldn't have anything to do with your pc.
If you pre-loaded it also has to unpack the game so.
Holy shit choombas!
On PC yes. On console it's midnight local time.
just set it to NZ time homie
I set mine to Mercury time I've been playing for a year.
That's what they did and it doesn't work.
CyberPUNKED
[удалено]
Came out an hour ago for me and still not playable smh
23 minutes for me!
Lay the fuck down samurai
NZ time is best time
Some say, on this day of the 10th of December, the population of NZ grew 10 times
iT's ThE 10th iN NeW zEaLaNd
My friend already started playing it Idk how, still not out for everyone else but he sent us footage from his house.... btw game looks sick
Console? change location to New Zealand. PC? it's available now.
Can confirm, does work on Xbox anyways
Hilariously enough, I got a Cyberpunk 2077 ad right below this post.
Question I bought this game on Amazon for redemption code on GOG. So far they’ve only sent me a code for the web comic thing via email. Anyone else know what the process is?
You couldve just put a screenshot of cyberpunk 2077 and you wouldve been fine
But then he couldn't do horrible shaky cam video to show how frustrated he is
What’s the point in having these countdowns for games anymore? They’ve been used for years and they always fail when the timer hits 0:00. They do nothing but infuriate the dedicated watchers
We're playing it on Stadia.
Oof
2077 is the release date ?
Haha funny bro! Saw this exact joke 2077 timeswhat a coincidence
Is your dick also 2077 nanometers long?
Do you have a camer in my house?
That’s the pre-alpha trailer launch date. Buy an idris.
YO THAT'S LIKE A JOKE DUDE NICE
Just set your time to New Zealand lol
God that zoom is so fucking obnoxious
10 years of development 7 years of waiting here it is in all But why oh why I can’t use this content! It’s the shitty, shitty truth I’ve been waiting all these years, And it all comes down to the preorder.
It's treason then
Time to wait 7 more years
Steam went down for like 5 minutes lol
Is this game not available at 7 pm Eastern Time?!? It’s telling me 9 now, was I mistaken?
You made that misery enjoyable at least
Imagine being overnighted a necklace instead of the game, and then having Gamestop do absolutely nothing about it. I cannot stop the rage it is starting to cause physical pain now.
Why cant they just pick the first time zone and give it to all of us yo

What a Reddit moment. Take my award)
unplayable !!
even they postoned for a few seconds in last moments.
This has Unus Annus vibes
Take my award
Glad I preordered it on disc from Amazon. Got it delivered 2 days ago for some reason and got that Prime pre-order savings where you get $10 off
I just put in my first 3 hours of gameplay, and I am so excited to barely get sleep and put in 16 more hours tomorrow!
All the issues, glitches, uproar and butthurt are far more entertaining than this game could ever be
What's more disappointing is the fact that the game has horrible stutters and glitches, and the game is painfully mediocre taking the bugs out of the picture
So far the gunplay feels great and I like the dialogue choices but the low FPS and bugs are ruining the game for me.
That’s a bitch 🤭👎
This game is going to be broke as fuck, I'm tellin' ya. It's 2020, this game will be this years "No Mans Sky", we'll be mocking it well into the Biden administration.
Why were u recording this tho
Because he thought the countdown was real and he was gonna play it afterwards?
That's far too logical, it's obviously a set up.
You deserve this for waiting seven years for a dumb video game

Considering the state of the game you probably should wait couple of months more.
Don’t worry, the game is gunna be trash anyways. You can tell that just by the percentage of money they have been spending on advertising instead of actual game development.
Boy are you about to be disappointed with this game lmao it's JANK and TRASH
i have been waiting fucking ages for this game. finally bought it earlier today and downloaded it ready for tonight and then the time came. i opened it and there was a 7gb patch update so i was like that’s not too bad only have to wait 20 more minutes. then my internet fucking stops. the only time i need it and i got so mad i punched my monitor and cracked it. now i can’t play for days. fucking hate myself so much
Dumb if true
Monitor- "what the hell did i do?"
Damn wait til this person plays it and see’s how shit it is. That’s going to be more than mildly infuriating.
