So, is it normal for the Dragon Age 2 Signature Edition not to show up in my recent orders from the EA Store? I have the email confirming my purchase but I can't find it anywhere in my orders.

On the unlocking times: Are they GMT? or will it be timezone dependent?

[tallon1982]

Yes, it happens with EA. Mine wasn't showing either but I got the confirmation email for my purchase. Just wait to get your email telling you that the pre download is available. I got my fingers crossed on this one.

I bought mine through EA Download Manager will i be able to download the game March 4th?

BTW i live in Canada

It's timezone dependent.

Britain unlocking a day >behind< Western Europe? Is this set in stone?
Thanks for the info though, I get free internet at night so a preload was something I've been wondering about for a while

Yeah, I'm feeling so blessed.  Is it really necessary to delay it for three days after most of the rest of the world gets it? <_<

I feel you... well.. no, tbh, I don't. I'm happy that at least those of us in Eastern Europe won't feel alone in getting the game on the original day set for the European release. That would have been a bummer.

For EA Download Manager buyers when you get to download it make sure to go to settings and check the option "Keep game installers after games have been installed".
So if you need to install it in 2 PCs you wont be needing to download it twice.

• Western Europe – 0000h on March 10th

So let me get this straight, Western Europe gets DA2 1 day before Eastern Europe or did someone mess up their time zones?

is this for Steam pre-orders as well or just the EA store?

Unlocking times, at the least, would be for all PC copies entirely.  Can't imagine they wouldn't go ahead and do the same preloaders, though.

I still don't really understand why worldwide digital releases don't have a single worldwide release date. Something to do with the brick and mortar stores? I feel vaguely ignorant for not already knowing the answer to this, but doesn't it seem like some weird kind of legacy of the pre-digital era?

Basically it is a legacy.

One problem is that different parts of the world have different gaming release date standards.  While the US generally sees games released on Tuesdays (along with music and movies), much of Europe has Friday as their release day.  Combine that with brick and mortar stores tending to not want to change things and you have these different dates.

And sometimes companies don't feel like they can support a global or mostly-global release at the brick and mortar level.  So they stagger the releases to spread out the work.

I'm gonna assume that since the local EA store is telling me the game gets released on the 10th here, I'm in Western Europe (which is from a politicial history standpoint mostly true), even if looking at a map I'd be uncertain.

[Shayera]

Thanks for the info Chris.
Now i only need to get my SE...

[bl00dsh0t]

Hmm...I wonder how this would work on steam They have screwed me with my preordered awakening by not letting me even download it untill 17:00 the day it was released. Does anyone have any info on what steam intends to do to make me a sad panda this time?

[hawat333]

Thank you very much, I was looking forward to hir this information.

[LexXxich]

I wonder what Russia did to get the game the same day as US? Other than having the game be published by local EA.
Also, does it mean that by time zones, Russia will actually get it *earlier* then US?

[aridor1570]

This applies for the steam version aswell?

Yup - you'll have plenty of impatient brits as company on the forums between the 7th and 11th

The EA Store is incredibly bad at providing you information on your previous orders. Not to mention the account management through which you can check your order history only works on some browsers, but not on others.

For instance, I use Google Chrome as my main browser, but have to alternate between Internet Explorer and Firefox to actually access my Order History as the connection is constantly reset if I try using Chrome. Even with the other two I run into occaissional problems. My favorite is two weeks ago where in Firefox it told me I didn't know my password, but then it worked in Internet Explorer (yea, I have absolutely no idea where EA gets their codemonkeys from lol).

At least half my orders I've had never showed up at all. There were only two reasons I knew they even went through:

1) I used Paypal, and you can check your account history through them, where it clearly shows the EA order # and that you paid them money.

Or, if using my credit card:

2) I contacted Support and had them confirm multiple times that I did, in fact, have an order succeed with them.

It continues to blow my mind to this day at just how bad their EA Store is at handling basic information like your Order History. This is a multi-billion dollar company who's digital store makes one think it's a front for some 14 year old peddling black market games. It's really, really wonky.

I actually had to pre-order Dragon Age 2 three times (and cancel it twice via talking to them through Live Chat) over the last month before the third time (last week) finally actually showed up in my Order History. The first two times, I never even got a confirmation email, though talking with Support (and my bank account) both showed the orders went through. I wasn't going to be satisfied until it actually showed up in my Order History though, so I kept cancelling and re-ordering. Third time's the charm apparently. I wasn't going to take any chances this time around. 

If I didn't detest Steam for requiring it to run to play games (seriously Steam, why?), and hand't been burned by Direct2Drive's previous DRM issues for some games that made it almost impossible to mod for legally (I know, not actually related to this game, but it's a matter of principle), I would never, EVER, use the EA Store. 

I guess, long story short, is that their website/account management is horrible, and has always been horrible, but rest assured, you almost certainly do have the game on pre-order anyways. If you are really concerned, I'd suggest talking to someone via Livechat.
