cantopsych Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 isn't there a chance that they would release it before? [/quoteWell, if I remember correctly, they released it around 9:30-10pm gmt last year...it was something like that, I think. Although, I guess it doesn't necessarily mean they'll do that again this year..could be just after a midnight as stated. If we're really, really lucky- maybe this afternoon- but that's just wishful thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassy28 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 does this mean that you will never have the disc for fm2010?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyIzzyB13 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yes, Hassy. If you order a digital copy, you don't get a disc. Pre-loading is awesome except for the fact that I appear to have the editor installed to my comp and I can't open it to explore my favourite new feature.

urbanjunkie Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Chaps - does pre-load mean that when its completed download you can play it? How much is the game on Steam?

NickJ73 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Sorry to spoil the party, steam's delayed fm10 until Saturday, it wont activate until Fri/Sat 00:00 gmt by my reckoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say that? The unlock time its showing is incorrect- sega have assured us it will be released at just after midnight today...steam, for whatever reason, often have incorrect times showing, especially near time of release...we have the preload now at 99.5%...can't see any reason why they won't give us the .05% on the offical release date 30th Oct, i.e. 1 min pass midnight today. Last year we even had it a few hours before midnight... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorsmen Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm gutted cos i tried to buy it from Steam but it rejected my card (i 100% have the cash on the card aswell) so now i'm going through the steam support malarke may have to buy it from a shop instead.

reflection22 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Why would you need to pre-load a game when you have a boxed copy? Pre-loading is just for people who have ordered from steam, they are just pre-downloading their game for when it is unlocked and they can play at midnight. You don't need to download anything as you already have the game. You just can't play it through Steam until midnight as that as when they offically release it. In the meantime, you could install and play it normally without Steam, just by keeping the disk in the drive.

reflection22 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have no idea, but I'm assuming though that Steam will not allow you to download a game from them, when you haven't actually bought it from them. I don't think a code from a boxed copy will do much good. You'll have to ask someone from SEGA/SI though. Why on earth did you buy a boxed copy when you can't read DVDs lol? Should have just got a digital download... As far as I know, when you have a boxed copy, you install it normally using the DVD, and then just have the option of registering with Steam, you can't actually download the game from there though. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry my fault, I should have made it clear.

TheStoneMonkey Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Mine was done in about 20 mins. Seemed to average about 1MB/s, which is getting close to top speed for my connection. GMT-4 here, so I am hoping to be up and running at just after 8pm tonight and finish off the demo season. Won't have a thrombo if I'm not though, cause I'm probably going to get the release patch and start a new game Friday/Saturday/whenever it comes.

McMaster#28 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If you have brought a boxed copy then won't the game files be installed via the DVD?
