There better be some cheat/hack prevention in this game for that amount of $$. Max Payne 3 was pretty much ruined by cheaters... am not sure if R* has raised their game..

No problem!! I bought it tonight, and received this email from cdkeys:

 

 

We anticipate being able to release keys for GTA 5 PC on or most likely before the 11th of April. We understand the game download is very large and we will do our best to ensure all pre-order customers have ample time to pre-load the game in time for the release date (14th of April).

 

They have started releasing them though already so check your emails regularly!! I was originally going to go via steam, but

My key from CDKeys was waiting for me a few hours ago.  10% installed, the download speeds are still erratic though.

As a matter of interest, when did you originally buy it?

Shouldn't take them too long to work through the backlog, I think they are aiming to have it done by weekend. I'm just glad i finally have a key. 

[Dotdot]

Think I,ll be waiting till 11th then as just ordered my key there

Now see, if you'd gone to Steam, you'd have it by now! Preloaded it last night.. Took just under an hour.

We all have to wait till Tuesday so I'm not that fussed with the pre-load speed.   I also paid

[CG-88]

What a win. Just got my key, downloading at about 10/11mbps!

 

Actually cant wait to Tuesday! Well Wednesday because I booked the day off work lol!

[Dotdot]

Woot woot!! Key came in mail today

 

[Louisifer]

I would have liked the bonus cash to be separate, this will be my first play through so I'd rather not spoil progression.

Please don't feed trolls / retaliate to flame bait guys.

After seeing that image that Dotdot posted, I'm curious as to why Google Chromium is a required part of the installation.

I assume it just makes whatever your current browser is part of the installation.

Im using a Rockstar Social Club version, not Steam.

I have been trying since yesterday afternoon to download this via the R* client and it has been painful to say the least. Crap speeds(for the most part) and I have actually downloaded the full preload files three times as the client wont register that its completed the download.

 

This has been a widespread issue for a lot of people - its either:

 

• Slow speeds - we are talking 25kbps here
• Connection issues to the server - disconnecting etc
• Download completing - then you go to open it to see the countdown timer and itresumes the download from half way
• Resuming after reboot loses progress

So what I, and a few others are resorting to is using the CJS keys officlal preload torrent that R* released to them and will install the preload files that way. Downloading direct from rockstar isn't doing very well at the moment.

I downloaded the game twice from steam and it did fine at my maximum speed of 80 to 90 MB/sec

Rockstar already said there wouldn't be.... so get your rage face ready...

 

All they did was ask players not to use online mods.. lol like they will listen...

DLCompare shows RSC keys are cheaper than Steam keys but I want to earn Steam achievements, so I paid a bit more. Still much cheaper than the RRP you'll pay on Steam.

People who buy it on Steam are suckers. Must be the same people who'd buy a Dell monitor on Dell.com for RRP when they're all much cheaper on Amazon.

[jrolson85]

I wish I could just buy the Single Player for $30...

 

I will probably wait until it goes on sale since I already have it on PS3...

Well I guess this is a failure even prior to launch.

Max Payne 3 had one awesome multiplayer mode.. shame that it was butchered through the lack of support.
