I am extremely disappointed by how unorganized this launch is, post #1 states Asia/Pacific release is on 0000h March 8th. Retail released right on time, and steam decided to kick the date to March 10th instead without any notification.

No doubt I will be happy when the game actually works but this, this bull**** will be remembered for next time.
Australia 9th 00:00 my ass.
Bioware, by having Steam as your advertised digital distribution partner you have done yourself a disservice as this reflects poorly on you.

Just for your info, it was moved another 12 hours for D2D UK, now it says:
March 11th, 2011 at 12:01AM GMT

So friday afternoon for me in the CET zone.

I don't think it's biowares fault - Chris has said in previous posts that his hands are tied because of the way the system works - basically if a game is released digitally before brick n motar stores have a fait chance of getting units shipped in and ready to sell, that's considered unfair and aswel as competition laws, brick and motar outlets might well refuse to sell the game to punish the publisher :(

{sigh} I don't give a damn what they say the release date is supposed to be, I pre-ordered through Steam when they said it would be released on the 8th and I expected to be playing it by now.
I could understand if we were still dealing with boxes and DVDs only but we are not. We are in the age of digital downloads and they should just release it all around the world at the same time.
All they are doing is making people more and more fed up with their screwing around.


I pre-ordered from Steam as well and it still didn't unlock for me; however the EA Download Manager unlocked the game a couple of hours ago. I'm downloading it presently (unfortunately not even close to the full speed capacity).
I don't see why it shouldn't work we'll see in an hour, worth checking that out if your steam hasn't unlocked yet. :wizard:

The crack does not prevent you from signing in to the servers. However I advise against it, since well its still a crack. You never know what is hidden among it that virus scanners cannot catch. 

That and I do not know how EA or Bioware will act. I do not know if they can see if your using a crack or not etc.


Edit : To clarify, I am not going to post any links regarding this crack.

I also tried EADM, going at 13kb/sec, by the time the download is done, it will already be March 11th, I guess they aren't letting me touch this game until the 11th either way. LOL

Copy paste from d2d site.

F**cking idiots,  from beein one of the fastest suppliers (8 march that was said to be the release date up until now)  to beeing the slowest? Cant be legal to even call this crap pre-order when you get it after everyone else anyway.


you can ask for a charge back you know


You can ask but they won't cancel pre-orders 48 hours after you put the pre-order in. I actually tried last week.

btw anyone know how to get ur money back when purcased on Steam ?


Contact them at https://support.stea...m/newticket.php



They wouldt accept this as a reason for a refund, and quite rightly they shouldn't, they have done nothing wrong, they have kept to there advertising times, just because it comes out in north america sooner is no reason people in other countrys should get there money back.

Why? Almost all games comes out at different dates in different regions, that is just how things is. So why blame Bioware and EA when this is not something new.

I'd just like to register my disappointment in how this has been handled so far. When I preordered the game on Steam the preorder button said it would unlock on the 8th, or the 11th if in the UK. Now Steam seems to be telling me it'll unlock on the 10th at 10am. I tried downloading the EA Download Manager version just on the off chance that Steam was being stupid, but it says it won't unlock until the 10th at 1am, which you'll note is not even remotely the same time as the 9th at 0000.

You can imagine how delighted I am to hear about the game and how it is from people who are playing the pirated version while I, who paid for it, am unable to play.

plz..

The whole thing with the digital version proved to be a cheap marketing scheme based on hype..

If we keep taking this kind of s*** from gaming companies, we will always be treated like kids playing games.. Im just trying to say they should respect us more..

But is Bioware and EA really to blame? Is the problem not that steam and D2D have changed their release dates, not Bioware and EA?

I have a question regarding the OP:

Isn't Germany part of the Western Europe region? The time table states 0000h GMT 10th March as unlock date, but a support guy said during a chat that the game is released 11th March in Germany. So what's the correct release date in Germany. I'd hate staying up late, just to find out that the game unlocks a day later.
