VPN doesn't seem to work with Steam. Shame, really.


it's worked for every other game I've tried it on including mass effect 2.

I dont think anyone has it on steam yet.

edit: but I'm gonna try that other guys suggestion with china.

So it *could* actually work, but not with Steam it seems. ;_;

My filesize was 5,18 gb, is it okay?


It's a bit more in my language. The game is that small because, if I understood well, the town is reused multiple time through an elapse of time of 10 years. If that's right that's a quite interesting concept.

I guess it just hasn't unlocked on steam anywhere yet... missed the EADM part.

Steam goes out of its way to ****** people off. They won't have a midnight launch. At best they will unlock the game at midnight West Coast time, but more likely unlock around noon tomorrow or whenever the dude who flips the switch gets back from his lunch break. Steam has some of the worst support and customer service in the industry.

Oh my, I just noticed I read March 10th instead of 10:00 GMT March 7th !!!!!! Isn't that like... now ???!!! What is Steam waiting for ?!!

EDIT : wait, it says March the 10th  somewhere else. Who to believe ? Arrrg

ReEdit : just realised I confused preloading time for unlock time. Still 4 days. I hate you all.

Made me laugh ! I share your pain. Although they can't beat EA for worst support (I got banned from EA's boards without warning for asking why they kept deleting my question threads without warning, which is sort of absurd).

That would be more Steam/Valve not going out of it's way to please people. Not sure why there wouldn't simply be an automated unlock at midnight though.

I dunno, but..it doesn't seem automated.  I've definitely gotten the "guy forgetting to flip the switch" impression before.

So far the DX11 performance in DA2 is just about as horrific as the demo. I'm on MAX settings (see my specs) at 1920x1200 (NO AA, etc) and the game is doing 5-10fps

So is there a conflict with Steam unlock time's?

I live in the UK which states that it will unlock:
Great Britain & Ireland – 0000h March 11th

But steam is a program that is based more or less in the US which has an unlock time of:
Canada & United States – 0000h on March 8th

I'm presumeing that I need to follow the uk one, but the steam deals etc.... unlock at the equilivent time to the US steam deal's same day....

....So, I'm wondering if game unlock time's follow suit?

There's a beta nvidia patch out, came out march 1st, and it fixes compatability issues with DA2.  Not sure if that will help tho.

Just so people don't think I'm making this up.. here are screenshots

1) of my DLC screen
2) me in the character creation screen

I'm in Charlotte, NC using the EADM. I just changed my computer timezone to china and used a vpn to china.. but you HAVE to keep the vpn if you exit the game or the activation check will fail again

Already have that.. performance still SUCKS.

Edit: Ive tried both with SLI enabled and disabled... going to just DX10 goodies solves the issue... so they still have serious dx 11 issues imo

nope.. you are in the UK like me.. so UK release date, (unless you use a proxy or a vpn to unlock da2 from an ip address elsewhere in the world) but that is a moot point.. seeing as steam havent unlocked the game for ANYWHERE in the world yet..

Is steam unlock up in the US yet ?
And why is the pre-load GMT and the decrypt times no info on what time we talking about?

A lot of forum topics are popping up with DX11 issues... seems almost all of them are focused on the fps maxing out around 14 or so. From the amount of posts this seems like a wide spread problem. Hope a fix is in the works, I think the issue is with video card drives not being ready, and less of an issue on biowares end.
