Ugh, that's even worse >_<

[nastycivilian]

This is pretty damn wack. I was really contemplating pirate baying this deal but I enjoyed me1 so much and only paid 20 bucks for it I figured I would get away from my pirating ways and just buy this game as well. Well this is what I get i could of been playing for close to a week already instead I decide to buy it and the damn thing tells me the game isn't released yet. Well to the thousands and thousands of torrents users. THE GAME IS RELEASED!!!

[VehX]

That is precisely the moral struggle I find myself having Nastycivilian. It sucks trying to do the right thing and getting slapped in the face, knowing full well how easily you could have had the game running for free. Ain't the first time either, not for me. So I wonder how long my self-righteousness will last if I keep getting slapped every time I give money to the people who blame pirates for everything.

[nastycivilian]

Yeah especially these days when money can be tight, but you know if its a good product i'll spend the bucks but damn this is lame I was really looking forward to some commander sheppard action after a long day at work.

Viper it`s works also at russian release . thx a lot for ya

[Voxclamant]

D2D extended edition. As of 27th 7:30am EST still fails release date check.



Three tries at EA chat =- all three terminated "discontinued, no service agent available" at the end of a 30 minute wait when I moved to top of queue.



And 20 pages of people with the same issue yet zero EA/Bioware response -- not even an "I feel your pain." That is sad.

So? What was the result? You checked yesterday with the store admins, and nothing is fixed. Nothing is posted on EA's site about it. COME ON, guys.

[Bruno Duarte]

EA store, 11.10 am in Brazil, no news, no update and, of course, no date check.

Alright trying FreeVPN now...
Link to download is here:
http://download.cnet....html?tag=mncol
Download&install following the instructions.
Connect to "USA FREE #1"
...wait for the connection to complete

Launch your game. The date activation check will be passed.
It may ask you to register your game, do so.
Once inside the game, exit the game.

If not done yet, register, download and install all your extras.

Disconnect VPN.

Launch the game again, watch the intro movies for the 2nd or 3rd time, with the nice EA&Bioware logos that you've never seen before, but will see for the remainder of your playing through this game

Log in to Cerberus, and voilà, the game is playable.

Thanks to those who pointed FreeVPN, though a link would have been nice... some "FreeVPN" links on Google are actually spywares.

Did the same thing, and work as a charm. I hate using that kind of method, especially when you bought the freaking game, but I admit that I prefer that than wasting my time waiting to solve that freaking problem.

[Lasagna42]

Any word from Bioware yet? As near as I can tell, EA doesn't even acknowledge that they've sold Mass Effect 2 via digital download, much less that there's we're being prevented from using the game because of the release date issue. How about something from Bioware telling us what they're doing to fix it? Anyone?

[StalkerJS]

Well... big part of Russian comuniti find good way to play - use crack.

Looks like next time be best tell: "Use pirate ver. and play w/out any problem!"

[Lasagna42]

Boiware - is this problem being addressed? How about a post, letting us know what's going on? Near as I can figure from reading this thread, those of us who downloaded from EA and Gamestop are being frozen out of the game because of a "release date check failure." This CANNOT be that difficult to fix. What's going on to address this?

[Luduiian]

it's 01/27/2010 here in north America and i still can't get pass the release date check. I was under the belief that I would be able to play on the 26th and I feel as the other party has breached it's agreement on the release date. Companies like fed-ex/ups make things right when they are unable to met their delivery date. Let us see how this will be handled.

VPN works.

Yes, so I've heard, VPN works, I just want someone to explain to me WHY it works, is the Tunnel provider somewhere in the future where the date is far past the release date?

I'm in friggin New Jersey, on the East coast of the United States, where it is SIGNIFICANTLY past 01/26/2010.....

So please tell me exactly why a tunnel should get past a release date check, I have my AV completely turned off, from MSCONFIG turned off:
a) windows firewall
windows defender
c) Avira

My hardware firewall, I have set my PC as a DMZ host (for those that dont know, this would be completely open access out to the internet/wan)


So, again, I want someone to explain to me in some reasonable terms WHY exactly a tunnel should work especially given the above with an unknown VPN host (does anyone really know who the hell these people are?) that can potentially cause you some serious damage if they want to?

WHY DOES IT WORK???


@Bioware, I expect SO much more from you people....from Baldurs gate I have done NOTHING but tout your efficacy and quality of titles. Your serious lack of response on this issue will ensure that you lose a LIFELONG customer if I DONT GODDAMN HEAR SOMETHING FROM YOU. I FU__ing want what I FU__ing paid for!!!

[StalkerJS]

I don't know why, but it's work.

I'll ask "why" in my work. At home I jast whant to play.

Tns, mate.

[Jupiterfist]

So to sum up... the work-arounds that have worked for some...

1) HACK - replace your exe file for the game with a hacked one

2) HACK - VPN using an unknown host and pass the Release checker...

3) CR@P - wait until 1/29 and see if the game actually works (despite that fact that you bought it as a pre-order and you live in the U.S. -- release being 1/26)

4) DOUBLE CR@P - buy another version of the game... and hope the heck it will work this time

[BADSgtDuke]

Having the same issue too, just another unhappy customer who can't play their preordered copy...so much for a release date.

That seems to be about the size of it, yes

[Excildor]

Im seriously starting to consider Spam Reporting my own posts so at least someone may feel it incumbent on them to at least LOOK at this damn thread

[lesamaritain68]

An other one here in Canada. I emailed for support to Bioware and to gamestop just to add to the many they probably alredy got and I dont suppose they will deign to answer as they would seem to ignore us all. Is there any lawyer here maybe we should prosecute them collectively. or maybe if they had to respond live to a journalist in radio ....just dreaming to ease the anger :-(

[lesamaritain68]

I just saw that they sell it on Steam I'm sure if I was to buy it there it would work just fine (best game console I ever had and way better the the EA one) Next time i'll stick to Steam Bye Bye EA. Never Ever again

Sincerely, It's just sad that things are degenerating to this end isnt it? Unfortunately though, even though the steam version may (or may not I have no idea) work, the bottom line is that if you were to purchase through steam, EA is still getting the money. The point really should be that EVERY single copy that has been purchased in the regions that it is available should absolutely work WITHOUT EXCEPTION. And, to further this everyone is allowed to make mistakes but at least ACKNOWLEDGE your errors which would certainly ease the angst that it is being WORKED on....

Right now myself and MANY MANY others have a USD $60 deficit without a goddamn thing to show for it..... why don't we just open up our wallets and let you take whatever the hell you want from it and please, do us all a favor and don't for a MINUTE think that you need to provide anything in return because honestly, we simply don't want anything for the money we've given you. Why is this true? Simply look at Bernie MAdoff, Wall Street, BoA, Goldman, JP Morgan Chase.... just like we were completely irresponsible with them why should we change now right? So please, I'll be thye first to step up and let you absolutely have something for nothing....no vested interest, nothing in return.... enjoy my mother FUC__ng money ****es
