Did you restart Steam?

 

[SammyKhalifa]

Did you restart Steam?

Yeah several times. It just seemed to be about 15 minutes or so "late."

26%.... Anyone with lighting fast connection in EST playing it? Not getting my hopes up, still won't play until tomorrow after work. ..... Unless I get up early hmmmmmmmm. I'm still in Assume something or some driver isn't working mode. Ps my Nvidia driver isn't updating I'm also working around that before bed .. grumble

EDIT: Typed this out on mobile and the keyboard was set to Portuguese and i had to go back and edit but didn't edit enough it seems. (I'm slowly learning) Correction : I was aksing if anyone downloaded it quickly and was playing yet.I was assuming It wouldn't work after download and Id be playing it today (WRONG), and I had trouble with the NVidia driver (Solved) Also Played almost 3 hours last night and went to be past my bed time (LIKE WAY PAST..Work is hard when tired and had to tromps through snow blehg)

I picked Xerxes and Greeks and have been on the turning hourglass (loading) for 20 minutes. looks like an issue right off the bat

Suggest that Founders is 15,6 GB and maybe the basic 14,2 GB

Mine was founders and 15,x GB.

thanks, mine is deluxe, i guess between both. So it's around 15GB .... and well in the best case it will take 4 hours...

Ahah, I got the old "Not available in your country" from keys(plural) on the Internet. I feel you. I was so ready to test all the jankiness parts and the imbalance of the game, and spend hours to theorycraft everything to understand the vision. So bad!

Spoiler For those curious :

I live in French Guiana. I bought the "Europe" key. It didn't work. I then bought the "Latin America" key. Because, weird region attribution? Still didn't work. Either the keys were bad, or some odd region delimitation is in place.

Okay, the OP says it unlocks here at Feb 11, 6 AM/CET, which is 7:30h from now. Why does it say on Steam that it's approx 20h?
