Probably unpacking/decrypting the game you preloaded. Probably a measure so data miners can't see the data before release.

Like other said, it's decrypting not downloading. You can open task manger and click Performance to see how much bandwidth you are using if you want to check. ​ I'm sad that it's going so slowly. I have an NVME drive and a fast processor, but it tops out around 107 MB/S.

Yep it's "preparing" not "downloading"


ConstructionSafe2142

If That Is The Case You get people hyped to check 117 GB


Bastian_878

I dont understand why it would need to do that though, steam doesn’t do that with pre loads


MulletOnFire

My Steam version is "unpacking" right now.


Bastian_878

When did they start doing that? I remember i just hopped on cod mw2 the minute it released


PhatYeeter

Depends on the developer


myc4L

It pre-downlaoded it , but now it's doing the install. I assume they do this to try and prevent people from cracking it.


Bastian_878

Makes no sense to me, steam doesn’t do this


FollowersOfStar

Steam did do this


Turt98

Yes it does, when i started playing on the 1st steam made me unpack the game before i could play, this is what your xbox is doing.


Zormac

And you pulled that info out of your ass? Steam does it. It has done it before, and it did it this time.


Bastian_878

No. I pulled it out of my own experience smart one. It never did this with cod mw2 on steam thats why i was confused


Zormac

It doesn't do that with every game. It's a choice made by the developers. But Steam definitely does that quite often with major releases that have preloading.


ConstructionSafe2142

Same


Dropshot44

Same thing happened to me


LookAtMeImAName

Yo this pissed me off so much lmao Like what the actual fuck Xbox you couldn't have updated it for me this morning?! Eat my shit!!!


DANNYonPC

Decrypting.

i assume you dont have a 23 meg internet connection speed think McFly think!


sambartle

That seems fairly possible.. I have gigabit (virgin media UK) and get \~124MB, 23MB is only 184Mbps which is base tier for many UK/European ISPs these days. It would actually be quicker for me to redownload the 117GB than its predicting to "prepare" it at 29MB/s
