Countdown to Brave New World Pack

[CivScott]

I just went by Walmart, and the game is already for sale there! It was a very nice suprise.

Doubt it would be at the one by me. They can't even keep my Gillette razors blades on the shelves, and imagine there's a decent margin on that one.

 

[PolaBear]

That's nice. You can buy the box, install it, and still sit on your butt waiting for midnight.

Yeah, I just realized that unfortunately'

Early retail release means nothing anymore because everything is online now.

 

[Jdub97]

Can someone answer me? I didn't see it on steam after clicking install and nothing happened.

Can someone answer me? I didn't see it on steam after clicking install and nothing happened.

Check your games library and see if it is installing.

 

[HeraldtheGreat]

After an extremely alarming blackout over here, I'm finally back on track!

 

[Alloran]

With an hour left, I just watched the Baba Yetu video (you know the one,) grabbed a beer and am watching a stream. So glad I took tomorrow off and caught a nap earlier.

 

[gunnergoz]

Just after 8PM PST I started up Civ V and Steam began a major upload, including a re-install of DirectX 9 (!). OK, finger's crossed...

 

[Bechhold]

Restarted Steam, just after 10 here. Nothing.

 

[Jdub97]

Check your games library and see if it is installing.

It wasn't, but I did purchase it earlier today about 2 hours ago. I'll try again at 12. Thanks though.

 

[Distinct]

Did you get the patch from a couple days ago, too?

 

[flairin]

Nice... I think in an hour I'll finally get my product key so I can unlock and download on steam

 

[Bechhold]

So if BNW is under your DLC it is already downloaded? as the Steam library will just say Civ V

 

[Bechhold]

Yeah I have the patch. Not seeing any other DL though as of now.

 

[gunnergoz]

After 10 minutes, (8:10PM) still installing DirectX 9, step 26 of 42...I take it as a good sign...

 

[TLhikan]

My steam folder for Civ 5 DLC says that I have it, but nothing has downloaded yet.

 

[Distinct]

I meant the pre-download or whatever it's called. OP, did you already get the files before, or. . .

I know some people, myself included, got them earlier for whatever reason. Obviously, that doesn't mean you can play it, but the files were combed through.

 

[ImperialChaos]

So how will it work for those who already have the BNW files? Will we get an extra download at 12 or can we just turn it on in the DLC options menu (it's already there - it just doesn't do anything when clicked.)

 

[gunnergoz]

Whatever in heck Steam did re-loading DirectX 9 (I use 10) that took so long, when it was done, it launched Civ V...right back into G&K. I should have known... So I'm still waiting like many on the actual game files, which are supposed to unlock at 9 PST, in about 38 minutes.

 

[MadMage86]

My palms are all sweaty with anticipation.

Am I getting too excited over this?
