davetems Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 At the moment steam is saying three days and 1 hour. This would take us well into Friday (the day of release). Can anyone clarify exactly what time I can click a button to make my comp start downloading (incidentally do I have to get up and make my comp do this or will it do it automatically if i have preordered it?) I know this might have been posted elsewhere but i cant find a specific answer from anyone - can a moderator get involved here? Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dave From what I understand Steam will start downloading the game to people who have pre-ordered it some time in the next couple of days but it will remain locked on you computer until 00:01 on Friday 5th Nov. In that way Steam gives you the game from the very moment it's officially available. I suspect the opening day patch won't be pre-lauch downloaded though and you'll probably get that on Friday. Hope this covers it all for you Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonzie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Yeah, i have been searching for a while to get an answer to this question - SI or SEGA, please respond. I'll definitely purchase through steam if it means that i can download and play from 00:01 AM the 5th of nov, but will go for the boxed version if not as it'll save me about £10.. also, if it's released 00:01 am, is that London time? so 01:01 CET ?

looknohands Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does the US have to wait until just after midnight, or do we get it when the game is released in England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertodibaggio Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 And what's the deal with the patch update? I will have the game by Thursday at the latest, will the patch be available to download at midnight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Does the US have to wait until just after midnight, or do we get it when the game is released in England? Game will be available (whatever the time) on British time. So you'll have to until 5am or so, assuming a midnight release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 No, in the US it will be at 6pm on Thursday. We are 6 hours behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scholes=legend Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I just wondered would it be better waiting till the patch is released on friday or could i start a new game straight away IF i recieve the game early? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 You'll have to explain that one :/ OK, here we go!!! Right now, it is 5pm in the UK, if I am not mistaken. In the US, it is 11am central time. So, on Friday at midnight (or 12am) in the UK, it will be 6 hours earlier in the US...or 6pm. Or that's the way it happened for me last year anyway.

looknohands Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 So technically, the US will get the game on Thursday. Side note- Sorry about the news on Taylor Twellman, T24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower Leagues Rule Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I still don't understand, if the release is supposed to be Midnight, why has Steam still got the time incorrect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
