I bought it on Steam and was able to pre-load it today and I live in europe so I am guessing i'll get to play it the 8th.
Thank the lord for steam being kinda universal <3


I wouldn't count on that.  From past games its been pretty clear that Steam restricts activations based on whatever the local release date is.  Unless you have your Steam account via a proxy that makes you look like you are living in North America, they are very probably going to make you wait until the 10th.

OK, preloading finished. When I use DA2 configuration utility, it doesn't allow me to set graphics detail level higher than medium, High-Res textures option is greyed out. But in the demo I could use the "high" detail level. WTH?

Does your computer support directX 11?

You can't go beyond medium if you don't have DX11 supported GPU.

Really?  So even though they list a video card as recommended that is not DX11, they don't support higher quality then "medium" with the recommended card?  I can see saying only DX11 cards will the top quality, but that's a rather odd choice given that DX11 cards are still a relatively small part of the PC marketplace.

Oh wow, didn't know I could pre-load it, sweet. *STARTED* Jeez, then I can actually schedule a day off ((For a game!? Really? Am I crazy!??... Yes, yes I am.)).

Damn, Monday midnight, as soon as it turns Tuesday...

Oh man, I guess I'm going to have to use a sick day or two, and act it up in the office that I've caught something fierce (half-true anyway, had the sniffles since yesterday).

I just created a support request with D2D; maybe if those of us who pre-ordered through them all submit tickets on the issue of the unlock being 10 hours after the game is officially available in the US, they'll reconsider.

I had it happen before with DC Universe Online tbh. Although if I have to wait till thursday it will be good aswell. DA2 is worth the wait :)

I received an e-mail saying that I can preload it, however in the "My Games" section of the EA manager, Dragon Age II is grayed out as "Unreleased". I bought it through EA's website and so I figured the pre-load would be available first and foremost there (especially with the e-mail confirmation. I know that someone posted that the pre-load might not be available until Sunday, but after hearing about so many people's success, I didn't know if it was something wrong on my end or not.

Up under the 'gear cog' (top right corner of download manager) keep refreshing the list 'til it's ready to download.

I am wondering if Czech Republic is considered Eastern or Western Europe.

Because it's clearly in the Central part.

EDIT: Aaaah! No matter, it *is* preloading now.:P

You sure Fernando?? So if the info is right we have to sit around basicly the whole friday and can only play our game on saturday??


That's what is on the list currently - i've asked to confirm this.  When is the normal retail street date there, is it fridays or saturdays?


My mistake - you are right, it is set for midnight of the 10th (start of day 11th)!  Sorry about that.




Thank you for checking and finding out for me Fernando. Can't wait for next friday.

You at least know which region you're in. I simply have no idea when the game will pre-load/unlock in Turkey. Posted Image

Does anyone know anything about when D2D will release the game since on their web site it indicates the actual release isn't until 10AM PST on Tuesday

I presume they wont release it till the time listed, but I suggest, as others have, that if you harass their customer support they might get their collective heads out of their collective behinds and act rational.

South America is in the same effing boat, man.
I pre-ordered the SE on november 10. But "my" release date is not  march 8. 
That's BS.

I got my retail version today already... now I can't play until what? Thursday?

I really miss the times when holding the CD in your hands really meant something.

OK now my unlock time is saying 4AM on March 8th, whereas it used to be March 10th.

Getting much closer :) But I'd still prefer it to be at 12am like the OP says.

A crazy thing just happened to me i had a Pre Order from EA Download Manager then i talked to a EA support people and they said they wouldnt have a PRE LOAD of the game then i canceled my order with EA and order the game with D2D to realise i will only be able to play 10AM on tuesday not midnight from monday to tuesday since they gave me the game to download, but not the key to install it.
Just now i try to open my EA Download Manager and there the game was with KEY and everything funny part is i canceled the game order with yesterday what a funny thing!!!!! EA so UNORGANIZED, Bioware shouldnt never get involved with them
