steam always preloads the weekend before release, if they do preload.

we will have to wait and see


Then why don't they announce it then that they will be doing a preload this weekend?

They did not do that with dragon age either


It would be nice so i would stop refreshing every 10 mins.  I thought there was an announcement that steam was doing a preload for dragon age.

I think you would need to wait at least a day, but i cant say.

My point was if there isn't gonna be a preload on steam today then they should say so.

Ok, but they would not do, because they have never done so (don't ask me why). They are many threads on the steam forums, who are discussing this topic.

00:26 here in tea-sipping-crumpet-eating-land (England), nadda. I heard that the European pre-load starts on Monday 26th, can anyone confirm that?

I've heard nothing, Mird282, I'm in the same boat.



The bonus material isn't even available yet, which I find slightly disappointing. I want to look at the art book and read the comic in a PDF file :(

you mean the tuesday the 26th. 

They may do the preload the same day regardless of what region.    We don't know when steam does their preloads.

Steam is notoriously silent about these things.



Don't sit there refreshing, just check once or twice a day. Chances are though when it does happen you'll get a big fat pop up.

I agree. Despite the fact that its the last one i still believe that they will either still today or tomorow at latest start the process, makes no sense to pull all americans in 3 days only race for download.

Steam usually releases on weekend folks. They are also notoriously silent about these things. You won't even know until it is happening!!

It would be neat if all digital downloaders got a treat for "going green" as it were, with a bit earlier release time!~

They are in the EU (GMT+0, i.e. London time), so what you'd have to do is this.

Steam Home > Mass Effect 2 and it should say "Unlocks In X Days X Hours" etc. Work out what time that is in your time zone, and you'll know :)

Could change, of course, but I'd probably expect the whole of the US (West to East Coast) to unlock at the same time, so it may not be 00:00 in your zone, but could be in another.

This- make sure to restart Steam to download the update they had that gets rid of a bug that wouldn't let people preload.

5PM EST Tuesday seems to be the unlock. Lame, but not surprising. However at least pre-load means we get to play right then.

I think it's Monday for us tea-sippers, if not, likely Tuesday -- cus' the Yanks got their pre-load three days before, we'll probably get it three days before release too.
