hi guys :D

if u all bought da2 thru steam u can use the steam key to dload from ea's site n play ;p


Actually it's only JUST allowed us to pre-load. And if you read my convo with EA support just above, you'll see that they're saying that EA DM won't unlock DA2 for play until the 10th.

FYI Bioware, 0000hrs on the 9th of March SHOULD mean the midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. Read HERE if you're unsure! I've just preloaded my copy and the release date checker is telling me 1:00am THURSDAY. Would have been nice to be given accurate information! Now I have to cancel my babysitter.

Not that I'm too surprised, I THOUGHT it was too good to be true. Still :crying:.

Curious. I didn't know about the preload but have my preordered signature edition since November, and I can find NO way to preload it... (<-lives in Mexico, bought it on EA Store UK)

You should get a email today (march 8, 10.00 gmt) saying its available.
Did you get a confirmation email when pre-ordering?

Poland here, it's 10:52. I'm guessing that they screwed timezones because we still can't preload. If I'm correct our GMT is +1 so it should be available here now. Also, I didn't get activation key. Anyone here from Eastern Europe ?

PS. Not to mention that Poland with bunch of other countries is a Central Europe not Eastern, but oh well...

Yep. I keep visiting the EA Store with my order number; shows that I did buy it well enough, but when I click on See Invoice I get the order information and some strange server error, which I 'm assuming may contain the DL link. It's about to be 10gmt where I live... I will wait a few minutes and go to bed all disgruntled if it doesn't arrive.

The Netherlands here, i was worried too but i got my email yesterday at a few minutes after 11am, and worked as a breeze, just wait a few minutes.
also they don;t seem to have a central Europe with theyre release zones, so you guys are a few steps into eastern europe it seems :)

Oh great, I have a conflicting EA support report:

Simon: Hi, my name is Simon. How may I help you?
Me: Hi sorry to bother you
Simon: Not a Big Deal
Me: I was just wondering if you could confirm the time that the digital version of Dragon Age 2 will unlock for Australia?
Me: Bioware officially said that it would be 0000h March 9th... but steam is saying it's a day and 15 hours away. Can you let me know when Steam and/or EA DM will actually unlock the game to play?
Simon: Okay
Simon: Can you please stay online while I investigate this issue further?
Me: sure :)
Simon: I would like to inform you that pre load is only available in North America. And you will get the update for the release for pre load for Australia will be available at the EA Store
Simon: And you will get the update at the store as well as the Game official website
Me: So, there's no word on when the game will actually unlock?
Simon: I really apologize, but as per our latest information the pre load time for Australia is not available right now
Me: actually its avaliable right now
Me: it's downloading onto my machine as of just now
Me: but still no word on when I will actually be able to play? Im just concerned that the 0000h of March 9th (Australian time) that bioware posted won't actually carry through and that it will actually be delayed as steam suggested for another day + 15 hours from now.
Simon: yes, it will be available at 9th.
Me: It will? Is that Steam as well or just EA DM?>
Simon: I would like apologize, for the information provided to you.
Simon: But as I have got the latest information now, it will be released on 10th March at Midnight in Australia in EADM.
Me: okay, thanks for your time


How do I contact EA support? Been looking around, and haven't managed to find it anywhere.

Good luck. Hopefully you get someone with better English and understanding of the company goings-on. :whistle:


Funny. I think I got the same guy as you did.

Simon: Hi, my name is Simon. How may I help you?
Me: Hi
Me: I was just curious: I've had several conflicting accounts of when DA2 will be released on Steam for Australia.
Me: In the Bioware Forums, a Bioware employee said it would be released at midnight between Tuesday and Wednesday; however, Steam has the release date down as 10th of March (Thursday)
Me: Would you be able to confirm the release date of DA2 on Steam for Australia for me?
Simon: I really apologize, but have the information about the EA Store only and it is going to be released on Australia - 10th March at 1200 midnight PST.
Me: Okay, thankyou for your time.


=_= WTB Steam version of EA Live support.

Try this site https://anonymitynetwork.com, free 3 hour vpn trial. There's a section that tells you how to set it up too. Just choose a US proxy and login to steam and you're away. Playing now in aus :)

I may be about to expose myself as somewhat un-knowledgable about this kind of thing, but how did you manage to get the proxy to enable the game on Steam? >_<
Were you referring to VPN?

Pre-load started for Eastern Europe apparently, just got my email from the EA Store.

Yay!

What does unlock time of 10th March at 00:00 mean? Will I be able to play on the 10th or on the 11th?

Mexico is 6 hours behind GMT so i think its just a matter of being patient :)

Haha good god. The day to remember. Paying customers have to use VPN to Biowares stupid unlock.

Welcome to 2011, where paying customers have to semi-pirate their bought games to play ;p

/still waiting for d2d UK to f**king wake up. still says "release 8th march"
