VMX Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 So I guess the "This game will be unlocked in approximately 1 day and 4 hours" message refers to the activation and not to the preload? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 So I guess the "This game will be unlocked in approximately 1 day and 4 hours" message refers to the activation and not to the preload? Hi VMX - yes it means that you can activate the game in 1 day 4 hours. Thanks guys for the comments I want it done and dusted as do you, so the sacrifice is worth it - regarding the lazy DB updater - tut tut I remember the good 'ole days of managing SQL Clusters...

Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hey, I'm still a little confused - Available: November 12th, 2008 This game will unlock in approximately 5 hours That can't be the authentication can it? Is that the deadline you were talking about Muzchap? Mind you it's Nov13 here, this unlock seems to be PST or something (I'm assuming Steam is a yank firm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilUK Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Where does Steam say November the 12th and 5 hours? Mine says November the 13th and 1 day 4 hours.

Muzchap Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 you live 120 miles away? do you have to travel that far EVERY day?? *confused* Yeah - everyday - but work from home on Fridays You get used to it (eventually) - unfortunately, not many 'gaming' jobs in Peterborough Ok back to business - on the phone to Valve - it's looking good at the minute - everything seems nicely balanced and all set for 22:00 GMT - all the internal tests have passed - they are just finishing their external testing group tests (a mouthfull I know!) - once live - I'll post and update and you guys can go in and 'hit the button' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 No idea. Probably because Steam is region coded?

Scott McC Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 When it's available you simply open up Steam and go to the FM2009 page and pre-download. Obviously it still won't be activated until Friday, but you can get all the files and everything you need ready to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlypop69 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 when it is available do i download from the steam programme i got when i pre ordered my game or do i need to go to there site? You use their programme..don't worry it is easy enough. I'm just wondering if they can handle us all downloading it! Love the Steam option (though it appears many computer illiterate people don't, bless 'em) so thanks for using it SI! Can't be doing with dvd/cds...

Muzchap Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Can you tell us your personal opinion of Steam? Yes - my personal opinion of Steam is positive - I purchased HL2 many moons ago and never looked back. The beauty of Steam is the way in which developers can patch games - instead of doing a cumulative patch, we can literally patch a bug as it happens, on the next launch you have the latest version - that is pure class. I personally hope we can get this in for FM09 after the latest patch - that's my personal opinion and in no way reflects SI or SEGA's intentions. The patch is finishing off in testing right now - those going through Steam will be automatically updated. Those going through Uniloc will need to download the patch - the links are being primed now. Don't worry about Steam bandwidth - its immense Not long now - I'm sat waiting for the call - I'm pretty nervous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilUK Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have now bought three games from Steam including FM09 and my experience is positive, just one gripe. The manuals aren't always available, I had to get the FarCry 2 manual from the official Forum. Can SI or SEGA please make sure Steam make the FM manual available to download Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_07 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Sorry if i'm being dumb here. I just tried to order the game off steam put my payment details in and then when I pressed purchase computer said no. Do I have to wait till the game is unlocked to pay for it and stuff.
