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


I'm in Asia (Saudi Arabia) and I can't play the game!!
pre-order it from steam
and pre-loading is done


can someone help me please?


The Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia might part of Asia, but technically it's not part of the Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific refers to places like China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc... (see link). Better ask EA support for the release date.

I have the know how to crack... But trying to distract myself and wait for proper release. I wish I could forget about this game until the 11th... But can't repel hype of that magnitude!!

I bought the game from UK aswell, how did you get the basic game running? I can't even install it because d2d didn't provide a key yet.

Soooo, I guess you can't register the game either if you are under lockdown.

Hooray, awesome waiting 'till friday!

Edit: Nvm, you don't have to include dashes like usual. Still, awesome waiting. :wizard:

I got a retail version, but instead of checking the actual street release days per country as they stated in one of the FAQs, they revolutionized geography and merged some states together.

Yeah, what's up with the time locker? Why do we have to wait till friday? my game will come from store tommorow. Just got e-mail they'd sent it.

Who came up with that? Pirates are already playing and we, true fans, have to wait.

With such an anticipated game, I really wish that they had done a world wide release date so that we all could start playing at the same time no matter where we were...
...going to have to try to resist reading too many of the forum posts and avoiding spoliers until I can start playing on Friday - I think the rest of the week will go past very slowly for me!! At least I have Friday off work though to help make off for lost time!! :-D

P.S. How come the UK gets a release time after the rest of Western Europe??

what a pile of **** D2D Uk is turning to be, first the game was suppose to be preloaded yesterday according to the dates in this thread for western europe, now apparently its only tomorrow, and worst of that the game can only be played on the 11th when the release date stated here is the 10th at 00.00 gmt, honestly last time i bother buying a game , and why cant bioware / ea talk to D2D Uk and forced them to release according to what its posted here ? and is it me or steam users and getting the game early than the D2D ones in europe ?

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.

Nope, our Release date is still the 8th of March, which means it will be unlocked most likely at Thursday 00:01am, at least that's what the countdown at DA2s Steam Store page indicates.



What bothers me more is that - since I was afraid about the game being Cut in any way, just like many other games in germany - I'll have to wait another day, for the 11th of March, because I asked a UK clanmate of mine to gift me the UK Version of the game, but their release date would be Friday ..... damn, at least I just got mail that my retail copy of the Signature Edition has just been shipped by Amazon (the SE basically only serves me as a Goody-unlocker for my Steam-copy, the game itself won't be touched xD) ...

Sent messages to direct2drive UK today and first reply was the basic "dates changed, we are sorry". So I sent another reply asking why the site said "release 8th march" even 15 hours after release if it was to trick more gamers into wasting cash and I got this as a reply"

"Hi Chris

Thank you for getting back to me with your concerns. We actually did an update on the site to show the correct date, but there was a maintenance problem and the page was reverted back to the wrong date. This may explain why things weren't updated appropriately and I'm very sorry about that.

Feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have.

Regards,

Harry

Smells like total bulldog.

Uh, March 8th? That would be today. Thursday is March 10th, but if the Steam countdown is correct we'll be able to play Wednesday night. Nice.

I'm in the uk so have to wait until friday for the unlock but not going to be able to play it until late friday night or saturaday afternoon(as I wakeup late), going off somewhere thursday night and get back friday night :(

got the game showing up on ea download manager ready for downloading, not going to be downloading it until midnight tho as have a 30gb/month limit(includes both upload and download) for broadband weekdays 8am-midnight(unlimited from midnight and all weekend).

as I mentioned in another thread I have a copy coming from game as well, I'd pre-ordered from ea back in november for heavily discounted price using voucher codes(£20-£21 from £35) so was worried they'd cancel or charge full price(the exact amount is not showing up on my bank account yet) and pre-ordered from game as well just a day or so before the s.e version deadline ended.

guess I'll take it in for a refund, or should I keep it?

I'm from Spain and I have the EA Store version installed, when I run the game it shows:

If that is correct, the game is released on March 9 at 17:00 and not on 11 March at 00:00

Well D2D now officially started pre-loading, unlike with Dead Space 2, they don't give you the activation code just yet.

Get ready, Dragon Age 2 is almost here. :)


Well its 0507 hrs March 9th and steam tells me I have another 30 hrs to wait ...... WTF !?

Thinking, Steam & EA & BioWare need to pull thier heads out of thier collective backsides and fix it !!!
