Been like that for days, doesn't seem very "temporary".

Yeah, apparently the Steam forums were hacked the other day. Story in this thread. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18339255

You know what I hope?

- Skyrim will not be available for early download (Steam messed it up)
- Skyrim will not be playable at midnight, and will get delayed for a very long time (Steam mess up again)

.....

Bethesda will never use Steamworks again

Why? I like to able to install games that are as moddable as these to directories of my choosing for easier modding. Also I'd be able to run them off my SSD without having to use symlinks.

Ooh.

Twas joking. For anyone interested I have got a fair bit of there and it's grey for sure but they keys have unlocked for me no problems. Skyrim is a bit of a faff though as you have to authenticate through a russian ip but they point you in the direction of a vpn so its a 10 sec process.

Can't see there being any mod problems just because of it being a steam version.

Is anyone else predicting that Steam servers will buckle under the weight of all those millions of activations possibly at the same time?

It's inevitable, they always do.

LeJosh · 8 Nov 2011 at 22:34

Modding is exactly the same except you have to goto C:\Program Files(x86)\steam\steamapps\username\common and your game is there.

Longer but meh.

Anyone know when the steam pre-load is due to begin? I heard it was a couple of days in advance possibly.

Titchy · 8 Nov 2011 at 23:01

For those asking about CJS-cdkeys , ive used them for a couple of games and never had a problem with them.

Never pre ordered with them, but their delivery times were pretty crap last time I used them.

Sweeet, shopto already have mine packed and they added a picture to my account!

And I ordered after 7pm too! Impressed

Same. After being worried into thinking Tesco might not come through with an early or release day delivery, I cancelled (which hasn't been fully processed yet) and ordered the game from ShopTo. A couple hours later and they've packed my order ready for despatch. Good stuff. I mean, I've used ShopTo in the past, but I think I'm going to turn to them for every single pre-order I make from now on. They're also usually pretty competitive in their pricing, which is great as well.
