While we are waiting, does Steam auto include the high resolution pack; like they do with patches? Or is it a seperate download?


Separate download, as far as I know.

Nobody knows, but seeing as they're obviously not including the Black Emporium DLC, I'd say no. Which is a shame.



One of your CD keys should be an "Entitlement Key", redeeming it here unlocks the Emporium.

People, calm down. A day or two won't make much difference as long as we all get the game in the end.
...Why do I feel like I'm going to be flamed in like a minute or so?

Why you..... err no, not from here :-D

I'm not annoyed about waiting, myself - I'm still enjoying the finishing stages of Origins - but I have always had a lot to say about this kind of release control, especially with this game since I was shafted to the tune of US$7 by EA's refusal to offer the Signature Edition to Steam users - a decision that seemed, to me, to be counter-productive, given that 99.9999% of regular Steam users are not ever going to consider buying a game via EA's download manager or from a plethora of non-Steam digital download sites just because EA wants to show Valve who's "boss".

Yes, I know, and already redeemed it.

I'm talking about that thing Steam does that people love it for - your DLC is bound to your Steam account, and when you re-download the game, all your DLC comes with it without having to visit extra web sites, download installers and run them.

In the case of the texture pack, in a normal world it SHOULD have been added to the main Steam game data set. But I'll bet, in reality, it isn't.

No, you install it manually according to people over at the Steam boards.

It is when you are all keyed up for the game based on the timings Chris Priestly posted, only to find out that Steam Asia users get shafted hard and can only play the game two days later than EADM Asia users.

Its because Valve is located on the west coast, they have always run Steam this way.  They default to PST for all releases.
