Larian has confirmed that Steam is the reason you can't preload Baldur's Gate 3.
is going to be a very big game—in the neighborhood of 122GB, according to Larian—and it brings me no pleasure to inform you that you will not be able to preload any of it in advance of the August 3 release date.
There's been quite a bit of speculation and confusion about Baldur's Gate 3's preload situation, and Larian hasn't been forthcoming on that front. In an interview just last week with"I imagine that they're going to do something, but I actually don't know," Vincke said."It's very large, so it would be cool. Obviously the game has changed tremendously versus early access, versus what's out there now ... so we will see.
Vincke said essentially the same thing in the itmeJP interview, warning that there's no point in getting into the early access version of Baldur's Gate 3 now because you're effectively going to have to start over from scratch in a few days anyway."There might be a few bytes that are the same but basically it's going to be a full reinstall," he said.
Not being able to preload a game of this size is not great, especially for people with slow or unreliable internet connections. But the problem appears to be a limitation of Steam. Simply put, preloading a game downloads the files but keeps them encrypted until go time, but because Baldur's Gate 3 has already been out for nearly three years in early access, Steam can't do that—thus, no preload.
