I have to say that seemed a very fast download.

Same here.

Mission editor is available now for all, before 25.06 😉  

[Blitzen]

Ok everything downloads and the sim starts but after I've entered my email and password ( same as Great Battles,) I get this popup what gives and what can I do?

[Monksilver]

@Blitzen

All you do is wait. The connection isn't available until EA goes live tomorrow. Today we can only download so as to be ready to fly tomorrow.

I have noticed 2 issues for the login screen

1. i can't enter my email address, the menue doesnt allow to type the letter "x" into the E-Mail field
2. when you enter the password just a little bit slower, the whole password is "marked" and is rewriten by the next part of your entry.

But solved 1. Problem, by copy and paste of my email adress

22 mb / sec is the fastest it has done with speed of download... my ISP speed is 600mb/sec. (btw, I use Edge)

Its downloading individual files, not a full single flat file. So you're seeing speeds as each file is downloaded which rarely gets to full download speed before that file is completed and the next one begins. 

If it were a single flat file, you'd see much higher speeds reported. This download isn't slow by any stretch of the imagination.

Yes, that makes sense, but this is generally expected behavior for preload.

Many games allow players to download the client in advance, but do not allow login or access to the servers until the official start time. In that case, the launcher or game may show something like “Server is not available now” or a similar message.

 

Ok ...I'll quit trying ,I guess....sigh...

Sad this wasn't on Steam, so many others have managed EA through Steam...

I got the Korea_IL2Series_Installer.exe and ran it, it created an Il2Series folder with a launcher.exe and other files in it. So far so good.

Click THAT and then I get constant errors. Mostly wget unable to resolve host address s3.il2korea.com with support and restart buttons.

I've managed to get about 6GB so far but it keeps failing and stopping.

You can see by the comments that it is not obvious for a lot of people.

It's also a big assumption that most players would have experience with preloads. Especially (combat) flight sim players may not buy many or any AAA games. MSFS 2024 only allowed the predownload of the launcher, not the actual game. And DCS was released in 2008 and even those who played it right from launch have probably forgotten whether it had a predownload or not.

I personally also almost never preorder games, and this was one of the few exceptions.

[JG1_Vonrd]

Somehow it installed to the wrong drive on my machine. How can I move it?

Delete and load again on the correct drive. Easiest solution.

Great idea letting us preinstall before the game goes live. It'll take some pressure of their servers. I'm ready to go!

[MaximumLarry]

Just curious, my download is taking almost all day.    I get 130mbps from my internet provider but my Founders Edition is downloading at an average .30 MB/s.  I am used to long updates with DCS but this is the longest one ever.  Is this normal?

[Aapje]

It was very quick for me.

[Bakerino]

I don't know if I misread the launch times or if I'm just too sleep deprived to notice; but I still can't seem to get in game, even though it's now almost 5 AM CST. I had thought it was releasing at 4 AM my time, but I could just be wrong.

[Riderocket]

Here we go

[MajorMagee]

Just took 13 minutes to download here.

[cunumdrum]

So where are the 6 additional aircraft? or are coming later?

[PaperPilot]

Looking forwards to downloading it off of Steam. Though those who want to will have to wait until August 5th.

Everything works! The initial battles plunge you right into the action! However, VR is very demanding; I have an RTX 5080 and 64GB of RAM, and it glitches with DLSS enabled. All those graphics settings need to be tweaked.

[Hopper64]

I'm getting this server overloaded error when I try to download korea.
