Still awaiting the promised delivery from Ubishop of the CE for release date

Obviously, still time but my order status has been "being processed" since Monday as have most others so fingers crossed but Ubisofts "providing customers with accurate communication department" has not been too good lately so excuse my pessimism.

I have messaged an admin who promptly let me know they are looking into it so fingers crossed.

Ive read on the 1C forums that a lot have got the CE yesterday and today yet UBI's order process has still shown processing, not great really at communication hey :S

Yes but I don't think steam will activate your copy untill their timer ticks down which is roughly 24hrs away.

"Play on the day of release!
You'll receive your download links and activation code by email the 30/03/2011 at 23:00 BST. "

Thought that was tonight !!!

Why is steam showing 6pm tomorrow then?! Very strange.

Gimpymoo · 30 Mar 2011 at 19:01

Those with a product key can activate and install now.

Creelers · 30 Mar 2011 at 19:04

I wish steam would let me see a CD key now then

Wynthorpe · 30 Mar 2011 at 19:23

Just been emailed download instructions and unlock code May battle commence.

How big is the download ?

picnic · 30 Mar 2011 at 19:55

4.1GB came down in 20 mins via my FTTC (40Mbps)

Didn't download via Steam, now seems to be downloading an extra bit via Steam before I can play it.

Not sure if the unlock code I have would have downloaded the whole thing via Steam or not. Instructions had me do a separate download first.

Troop · 30 Mar 2011 at 20:13

Ouch, thats going to be painfull on my 4Mb connection.
Cheers for the info, Panic,.....who did you pre-order with ?

Who was that ordered with Panic?

I bought from JustFlight. Mind you don't hold your breath. So far every time I've made any notable change to display settings the game has crashed. On my SLI'd 460 cards the fps is truly appalling in full screen (FSX is better in 3d!) and the biggest window size is 1024x768. Doh. At 1024x768 you cannot read the compass to see which way your flying
