Yes Kyrin I too am from Canada, says the same on mine..it is bittersweet to be sure, however, I will still load it up on the 8th, have faith =P


Oh, trust me, I'll be loading up at midnight to see if it will let me in. In absence of faith, I'll provide crossed fingers and frantic hope.

Looking into that, but I know the final times are still being synched up to the unlock servers. For now, you should not be alarmed :)

I have a question: Can you personally find Gabe Newell and intimidate him into letting Steam users preload the game now?

What do you want him to do? Bargin into the office stating "This is my boomstick!" ? Kidding of course though it would still be amusing to say the least.

Checked on my EA manager to see if anything changed and alas no. I'm ready to release the mabari on them but since I don't have one I think two German Shepherds will have to suffice.

Fernando could you also tell me under what time zone South Africa  falls for this release?? We tend to switch between western europe and uk release dates. So would like some confirmation. Thanx in advance.

Direct 2 Drive seems to have the registration code before the installation is this right I kinda would like to have it installed instead of the data just sitting on the machine.

So for ps3 and xbox users im assuming we just get on the day, because it doesnt need preloading, but if it arrives a day early we can technically play it because it doesnt need unlocking?


I assume so. I heard some dude got a copy for his Xbox days ago and has been playing it. I wish I could coerice my local Gamestop to give me my copy early... Bastards... lol. Image IPB

Downloading from Gamestop now. I'm curious, how exactly does this work: "This game has 3 licenses available. This means you may install the game on other computers and activate it up to 3 times."? I mean, I get the idea of it. Only 3 activations yadda yadda. But the technicalities of it are where I'm left clueless.

Keep in mind that 'region' is not a very accurate way to do this, it is an indication - there are some countries that fall in/out of a geographical region either due to time zones or just because of how their normal street dates work (we are obligated to respect the retail street date for a country) - so some countries that geographically are in a region above may still sit in a different sales region for the purpose of unlocks (I don't make this stuff up) :) 

To answer your question though, the info I have shows Italy unlocking at midnight local time on the 10th (start of day 11th).  Hope that helps.

EA usually sends an email when it is available to begin pre-loading.  It should start in the next 2-3hrs (if it has not already) I believe.

Are the DLC items/content all in the main folder? I noticed there was no add-ins folder when browsing the DAII install location

fully voiced character and only 6.49 gb?

What? yours is 6.5gb? Mine is only 5GB :\\

While I can't launch the game (and yes, like other people it tells me of a March 10th unlock even though I'm in Canada), I can run the configuration utility and it won't let me select "high resolution textures" - it's greyed out. Is it possible the version of DA2 from impulse didn't have high res textures and thats why its 1.5GB less? I hope that's not the case.

@TheJist I ran into the same thing from D2D. It isn't an encrypted, time-locked install that many of the other people on this post have had, it appears to be the full installer but you can't do anything until they supply you with your serial number.

RSA is listed as midnight 11th local time (start of day 12th).

Hmm, there should not be any activation limits at all unless they add their own DRM on top.  I'll try to find out more on this.

@Syrellaris - EADM Netherlands - looks like 10am GMT on the 7th for preload.  But I believe EA sends an email when its available.  The pre-load and unlock release windows are based by sales region (when the normal street date is for that country), so it can be different from even other nearby countries.  We don't have control or influence over that really, it is all set by retailers.  But it should be 'same' as all other games for that country, if that makes sense.

Hope that helps.
