Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: No disk or anything.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Just wanting to say that at least you have data on the disk, there has been a few games over the recent years where the game box only had a small piece of paper that had a "how to download steam" and a CD key. But that is just going to be a rant for another thread (and problem can be found by searching for "steam release issues" or something similar. This arrangement has lead to some really stuffed up situations, and the issues still keep coming up even as steam /developers are made aware of them.
It sucks for most of us down under as we do not always have that 10Mb/s plus adsl/cable connection, unlike most of the US (which push out these styles of delivery). This is made worse by some developers as they rush the product and what is on the disk is getting patched/replaced on release day (3 GB patches as soon as you unlock). It makes OK sense when the game just gets released, but causes a major PITA when the game has been out for a little while.Īnd then the game will download any and all patches to make sure it is up to date, so another download period before you start playing. You get 80-90% of the game, but have to wait for release to get the last little bit / unlock the already downloaded data. It will look like it is downloading from the internet, but if you started installing from the disk, it should use all it can from there first.īut, the disk is generally sent out as a data in a similar fashion to pre-orders on steam. Steam needs to be connected to the internet to allow the processing to work (DRM issues I think mainly).
Is this the same thing that was downloading from steam? And now am I going to have two of the same thing, because I don't know how to get rid of the 10MB that already downloaded from steam? Is this going to screw it up? How do I get rid of the steam download? And can I be sure they're the same thing and that I won't also need the steam download? I can't tell if the steam thing is an "update" I need and the 25GB installation is the game, or if they're just both the game?Ĭlick to expand.IIRC the install from disk is similar to reinstalling backups. Then I go back to it after taking out the CD and putting it back in, and click "reinstall" instead. Then I click the fallout disk installer, and try to uninstall. I paused it and thought I removed the DL, but it won't go away. Okay so it said it was downloading about 24GB from steam. maybe I just need to go back to the disc to install it instead of hitting "install" on steam? Or do PC discs not come with the game on them anymore? I bought Fallout 4 on a disc, and expected to be able to install it from the disc, but when I authenticated it at steam, instead of installing it, it started 24 hour long download.
