Metal Gear Solid V Will not Have a Preload on Steam

Ouch. My deepest sympathies.
How is it on my end when it happened on two different video cards? A 580 and now a 980. Both with the 30fps issue. Crisis on a different computer ran at 24fps with HDMI hooked up to a TV. It's a software issue and for sure documented on the steam forums. There's a big sticky thread on that games forum.
It happens to me to, all due to using HDMI. Rising did it on my AMD cards, still does it on my Nvidia card.

I hope at some point we can get a MGS collection on PC
I think we have a winner for "Best example of why preloading is essential"
Also a good case example for why not having a physical PC copy available in all regions is a terrible decision.
Luckily PC version is getting a physical release!
Exactly.
With Rising, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain being on the PC, a PC port of the HD Collection is practically assured, and I'm sure the original MGS will find its way on to Steam also. MGS4 making the jump is something I'm less optimistic about given Konami hasn't ported it anywhere.
Didn't Verendus also allude to it, though it was supposed to be out this year.
Fuck that would be great. I've wondered what has taken so long for that.
Also for some reason I feel like the mgs4 code might be a mess. If you think about how installs needed to be done. The lack of porting. Maybe a Red Dead situation? I'm probably wrong but not even a word about wanting that elsewhere.
No clue then. I ran MGR at a locked 60 on my AMD 7850 while connected to my Samsung TV via HDMI. Just tried it on my 970; same thing no problems at all (FR determined by running fraps).
I had not heard of this issue beforehand and thought it might have just been your setup. I didn't realize there were others with the issue, my apologies.
Back to my original point, I can't think of any game other than Arkham Knight that had major PC issues compared to the myriad of releases I can think of that had major issues on consoles. MGS V will be fine. GZ showed us how good the engine runs.
Thought it was only getting a physical release over in UK and Europe?

Steam pre-load is trash and has never once worked for me so this doesn't bother me.
Tell us where.
on your console of choice. better than waiting every single time.

Preload data are encrypted so there is no possibility of datamining.
But what about my PC of choice
But what about my PC of choice
better get that isp of choice son.
Nah, I'd rather keep playing stuff at 1440p, even if that means getting neglected more often than not in terms of physical release.

Good, fuck data miners. They ruined pre-load.
People will data mine the 360 and PS3 version days before the game is released.
Steam is safe in that regards.
The 360 and ps3 will leak for pirates this weekend anyway :/ nowhere will be safe.
see heres the thing, they will still data mine the ps4/ps3/360 version, if there is anything to be mined.
I feel for the people with bad internet, but personally I stopped preloading since it's actually faster to download than to decrypt on my connection
I literally live in a city where optics reach every building and house, but they don't have the closet thingy is not installed so now we have to wait until they get to my part of the city... Thinking of writing a petition when I get home from my trip and making everyone in my apartment building sign it. Not so much for fast download as for fast upload...
Steam pre-load data is and has always been encrypted.
pls no
pretty much.
i wouldn't be surprised if they're working down to the wire on getting it out for the 1st.
Can't data mine preload files. They are heavily encrypted and locked down, there's literally yet to be a case where anyone has been able to data mine or crack a game from it's preload.

Oh well, better than waiting 3 weeks for the release, which was reality only a few weeks ago.
Can anyone help me with this? Windows 8, 840M graphics card, i54210U CPU, 8GB RAM. Never had this issue with my old crappier laptop. Seems like it would be some kind of driver issue, but my display driver is up to date. Half the time when it crashes my laptop BSOD, so I can't even try different things. Issue repeats on different settings. Even repeats when it's the only program running, so I wouldn't think it's a CPU issue.
Not sure if it's related, but fullscreen doesn't work properly either so I have to use borderless windowed, and the mouse cursor never goes away so I have to hide it in the corner of the screen.
Any idea what's wrong here?
I kinda like this take on the situation.
