Hi Dragon Age 2 PC gamers.

Many of you have been asking when you can pre-load Dragon Age 2 onto your machines. Pre-loading happens with digital versions of DA2 and is installing the game so it is ready to play once the unlock time arrives. Pre-loading is not available from all retailers. Check with your retailer to see if they offer pre-loading. You have also been asking when the game will unlock so you can start playing, which applies to digital and retail PC copies. These pertain to PC versions and not to console versions of Dragon Age 2.

Pre-Loading is based on the region you live in. Pre-loading of digital versions begins at the following times:

• Asia/Pacific region – 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Canada & United States – 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Russian Federation - 18:00 GMT on March 4th
• Western Europe – 10:00 GMT March 7th
• Australia & New Zealand – 09:00 GMT on March 8th
• Central and South America - 10:00 GMT on March 8th
• Eastern Europe  – 10:00 GMT March 8th
• Great Britain & Ireland – 10:00 GMT on March 8th

Unlocking is based on the official game release date for the region you live in. The PC versions, both digital and retail, will unlock beginning at the following times:

• Asia/Pacific region – 0000h on March 8th
• Canada & United States – 0000h on March 8th
• Russian Federation - 0200h on March 8th
• Western Europe – 0000h on March 10th
• Australia & New Zealand – 0000h March 9th
• Central and South America - 1700h March 10th
• Eastern Europe  – 0000h March 11th
• Great Britain & Ireland – 0000h March 11th

Get ready, Dragon Age 2 is almost here.

yes get ready we dont' know that usa has different timezones and regions! go to gamestop so you can buy it at midnight, and play it after you go to sleep! midnight release!!! next day play!

This all could have been avoided so easily. First, tell all the PC customers that this would happen. Second, allow PC users to buy the game a day early, since we can play it until 3am anyways what does it matter when we get it. Third, refer to the first step.

The post about the release times from the developers was obviously misleading. All they would have had to do is simply put the letters "PST" next to the release time and this would all have been a non-issue. Either someone majorly screwed up and should lose their job or Bioware/EA purposely scammed PC users as the time check does not apply to Xbox or PS3.

Calling for someone to lose their job over this is the height of absurdity. Bioware has made quality products and continues to deliver.

I think many people are frustruated but turning on Bioware for a trivial matter such as this is totally unjustified.

And they are merely working within an existing system. Many games go through this process nowadays. The industry will come up with a solution. Not one studio by itself. Or perhaps a studio could set the standard.

1hr 35 min to go!

This does kinda void the entire point of a midnight release. Glad i went out in the snow for absolutely nothing. Not to mention wasted my time preordering at gamestop- for a DLC item that is Xbox and ps3 only. Good times.

I dont remember console only content???

My Gamestop reciept  has a website- Says 
"Thanks for Preordering Dragon age 2 for PC or Xb360 : Your registration code is : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 Please visit Gamestop.com/code for registration and ingame content."

Went to website. The pulldown menu for DA:II only as Xbox360 and Ps3. Was supposed to be all platforms. Don't really blame the local gamestop- i mean if they were told whatever- and dont really blame Bioware- but somethings amiss.  Honestly, it just adds to the disapointment.

I had the same problem, but I just entered the code on the receipt using my Bioware Social Accout and it opened up the Sword and Board for me. You might have to try a couple times though, server was a bit twitchy.

Thanks for the heads up Hastur! I'll give that a shot.

I have to wait until the 10th to play, quite the opposite of the 9th 00h in australia >.>

 I was lucky enough to get the signature edition and now I can rock out to epic music until the game unlocks!

What time does the DLC become available? I'm gonna get my game in about 45 mins. I've already been and paid it off but the bastards won't give it to me till midnight, lol.

The DLC is already available. IT IS THE ****ING GAME THAT CANT PLAY!!!

Oh damn, that sucks, sorry. I might be okay, I've been glancing through yall's posts right now and it seems to be the pc version that can't be played and don't hate me but I the XBox version. Don't hit me! I bruise easy!

I love the camaraderie we're building here... my best friend once told me, "you know, one good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together." :-D

OK, someone explain this to me please...nicely...why is this limited to pc users? Although I roughly understand the concept of DRM, why doesn't it apply to console users as well? I'm penalised because I use a pc to play my games?

we're all hackers, remember?

I'm not a hacker, I'm a modder, well, I use mods anyways.

Having said that, by the time I *actually* get to play the game, someone else will have a torrent for it. So, in a sense, it's a bit ironic really.

[Daern25]

Height of absurdity gdmfx? Its call accountability. If a single person was responsible for this screw up, if it is indeed an error, then they should absolutely be terminated. Your not talking about making a customer mad at the local Kmart, your talking about making thousands of customers mad across every U.S. time zone except for PST.

Can I consider that a threat on my life?

[Darkannex]

Must say, aggravated that I was able to buy the game at midnight, only to not be able to play it for another 3 hours. That's just plain silliness. If I'd known, I'd have just waited til the am.

Sorry Bioware, you've not made this a pleasant experience for me.

[Reclaimerrs]

Thank you GDMFX... I am glad that when I installed the game or read the book cover to cover that it did not say... Hey go here to get good graphics.

[smith056]

This is sort of like the little kid who was all excited about his daddy coming to see him, but then the dad calls, and says he can't make it, but he'll see him next time he's in town...Well, maybe that's an emotional exaggeration, but I'm totally bummed.

[Siofra the Sidhe]

I'm watching my husband play his version on the Xbox. It's pretty.

[smith056]

I'm totally staying up, though.

Yeap your exactly right. But atleast in the end you will have a much better gaming experience. That is if you have the computer for it 

If you have a DirectX 11 capable card, make sure you get the High-Res texture pack. Its an additional 1gb so might as well get started and download that now.

Ahhhh many thanks!

[Koolaider]

To be fair, they did say that it would be released on PST. Only it's buried in the middle of this thread and nowhere else.

[parkatoran]

hey where's the downloadable soundtrack?
