Have you guys managed to pre-load the game from D2D??


Atleast one had apparently success with the Comrade Download Manager, but that does not work for everyone. Everyone else (including me) is waiting for a proper download link or atleast an answer from d2d.

this realy sucks the pirate copy is alteredy arround and us that we pay we get release date change with no warning ..

Ignore the pirate copys, only honor- and shameless kids are pirating .... can't be called fans or gamers at all.


What makes me sadpanda is the fact that EA doesn't see the need to stack up their amount of activation server capability, so we can have a worldwide launch at the same day .... hell, 2 more days, and the encrypted game data are keep smiling down at me from my Steam folder for almost a week now. Q_Q


Well then call me shameless, but I am using a  "crack" to play atm. it bypases the stupid regionlock ****. Though I will wait for the game to be officially released in my country before i log in with my ea account.

Thanks guys, I installed the Comrade application last night. It worked fine and all. One problem though, I couldn't find where should I go in the application in order to pre-load the game. Anyone knows?

I'm quite angry as well. I peordered from Steam and am being told right now that i have to wait another 34 hours before the game unlocks. I might as well have not bothered pre-ordering.


Yeah. I honestly couldn't care less about having it a couple of days later than the Americans. But eagerly anticipating it being available at an announced date and time, staying up for it, getting yourself psyched - and then finding out that it's probably going to be two more days (but not actually having that confirmed, or explained) - that's what is really frustrating - and I dare say, downright insulting.

A clarification of what happened would be desirable at the bare minimum.

Almost wish I didn't purchase the game. Why did they have to have different release dates for different locations? Bad move....bad bad move....

My game has been unlocked for 5.5 hrs now and fully playable but I have not gotten the pre-order unlock codes for the signature edition items. Would be nice to have everything I paid for now that it's up and running. I'm in the U.S. playing the PC download version so I am refreshing my email while other people already have theirs. Zzz.

Problem is, they always had this stupid North America gets it on xth of y and Europe on xth of y +3 days. The thing I don't understand is - why have this when it's all digital download and what-not? Like, what was the reason to begin with to have different dates for different locations?

It's even more frustrating, because had i pre-ordered it from Amazon and paid a fraction more to get it shipped quickly i'd probably have been playing tomorrow morning. Instead i opted for the "convenience" of Steam and not having to worry about discs and such as well as expecting a reliable launch synch up only to find this out.

Yet again, Australians being treated as second rate by huge companies. Makes me wonder why i bother continuing with my gaming hobby these days.

Welll technically Fernando explained it. It basically has to do with physical retailers setting the release dates, which means they want to sell simultaniously as the digital ones. If that wasnt the case they would loose income. well I am sorry but physical copies are outdated get over it and go digital!

That makes sense, oh well... Just let DD dominate already!

Thanks for the reply, though.

Well, I'm not going to wait up until midnight for the second day in a row, just on the hopes that Steam decides to honor Bioware's promise to the Asia region. Looks like 00:00 on March 8th will actually translate to 01:00 on March 10th.

Nobody likes a Hawke-tease.

Well I bought from the EA store, so the game is pre downloaded in my EADM. If i would start it from the original exe i get the releaseday client check thingy. Which will state mine will unlock at march 10th 00:00.
Yesterday I found a couple of unlockers, most of which were fake virus infested cest pools. This morning however someone had posted a real working crack based on the currently unlocked games. 

I downloaded it after I used several VPN's to try and get it unlocked without results. Figured you could always try right. and technically the cracks alone are not illegal to use. As long as you do not distribute with the intend of making money. and one by law can have a backup of every software, music and movies they own. (the reason why you pay a small tax on empty cd\\s, dvds and blu ray discs.

Well I changed my original exe into dragonage2old.exe and copied the cracked one into Bin_ship were the original is also located and booted it up without using the launcher. Tada it works :D
