Today I saw that Far Cry New Dawn was available for pre-load. I selected this option and downloaded around 19GB data and the button now says "Pre-loaded". I was surprised because I had read online that the game would be closer to 30GB.
On the same screen, there is a listing of "Owned DLC". I had already selected to receive the" HD Texture Pack" and the" Preorder Trike" for free based upon finishing Far Cry 5. To the right of these 2 items there is a button that says "Install". Not knowing what to do, I clicked on the button and a new install began. The estimate for this download was another 15GB to 20GB. Not understanding why the screen would say Pre-loaded and then start another large download for these 2 in game items, I stopped the second download.
So, in short, should I let the second download run or wait until the game goes live this Friday?
Took your advice, and did the second download. Total is now around 30GB, which I believe it should be based upon what I have read.
I was just cautious because this is the first Ubisoft game that required first a pre-load and then another button for additional install. Past games were all just one step.
Thanks for you help!
