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.


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.


Thank you! (:


Heard back from there - this is a standard faq item they use.  It is not accurate in the case of DA2.  They did not add any further DRM, so the standard protection we've talked about here applies for this.

Fernando can you please explain why every time i see "ready to download" on EADM (only happened twice out of the 4hours i've been watching), i click it, begin the download. Then button goes back to being "unreleased" and greyed out.

I have called EA, they told me to just wait, and were basically no help, and i've waited a while now, and still no progress.

I live in the US.


No idea :(.  Have you contacted EA support on this?  Another option is to confirm you have the latest version of EADM.

So checking again it seems that Direct 2 Drive pre-orders wont get the game until 10 am pst because that is when they are releasing the activation code any chance someone at bioware could convince them to release it earlier to get it installed? If the game already has a time lock on it shouldn't cause any problems.


Ugh.  I'll ask, but this is similar to the Steam question - we send out the same days/times to everyone and can request/suggest those, but ultimately it is up to each individual retailer to release it when they can/want.  I would suggest raising it with them directly as well.

Should I assume that I will not be able to install my DA2 from Direct 2 Drive because the activiation code also happens to be the Registration code?

Steam doesn't seem to be enabling the preload for the PC version. I've heard the PS version is preloading, but I'm not sure since I don't have the console and didn't buy a version I can't use.

Is there any way to contact Steam directly? As in, a phone number to call? Because their customer service people are taking their sweet time to respond to my support ticket.

Pretty late, but I'm glad there is a preload after all. Hooray.

Thank you for your help :) I have made a ticket to them hoping that a favorable outcome can be reached.

I received a notice from EA that the preload is available, but when I logged into EADM, it says it isn't released, the download option is grayed out, etc. I called EA support and they said there's a known problem and the game will be available for preload Monday instead. What's up with that?

Yeah, got the game preloaded and ready to go, thought maybe preorders might be getting in early. But, no. When you try to play, it does a release date check and says, "Well, thanks for trying."

same thing happened to me, it took about 30 mins for the download link to be active, try logging in/out of your download manager, worked for me.

I want my Asia pre-load!! :crying:

Still nothing? I got a mail about an hour back saying you can preload the game. It's at 10% completion now :happy:.
I'm from India btw.

Also, I have a question for Mr.Melo. The EA store page for DA2 shows release date as March 11. The OP says it's March 8. The mail I got saying the preload has begun has it as March 7. Can you please confirm the unlock time for India?
