Game is running!

RAAAAAGE!!!! ME WANT!!!

 

[RedMad]

When I try and activate my product code it's telling me the game isn't available for purchase in my country...

Snap. I don't get it. Was the official release time definitely midnight GMT?

 

[Selous]

Playing now... good night people!

officially hate you

on a good note, looks like there isnt anything else to dload

 

[Tanktunker]

completing install 90%

ARGH! Steam was unlocking and was at 30% and now it tells me that the "game is not available". What is going on? This is why I have avoided Steam like a plague until today

Why does it automatically pause the download? I can't seem to be able to download more than one file, and it keeps validating it, pausing, and when I resume it does the same thing again and again and again.

Try going into your settings > downloads + cloud and change the download location (server) to something else. I switched mine from Sweden to Ukraine and it started downloading

omg this is taking forever the decrypt is painfully slow! 27%

Common!

 

[CivOtaku]

Seems to be stuck at 39%...

Edit: OMG it just jumped suddenly to 80 %!!!

 

[tranx]

EDIT: Also, am I the only person who was told to defragment the game to prevent it from being slow after hitting the play button?!?

Same here. Are you doing it? I just skipped the whole thing. Can't wait to play (maybe I should have done it though - is there a way to defrag the game later on?)

 

[Doppleganger]

To hell with this - will try again tomorrow. Good luck guys and enjoy the game.

Installing DirectX9 for the vingtillionth time... OMG I CAN LAUNCH THE GAME. Goodbye Civfanatics, goodbye life for the next 5 years

 

[ytswy]

Up and away! Night all.

 

[Overspark]

Decrypt went from 33% to complete here. Took a while though. Game started working about 5 mins ago so I'm off for a quick play before heading to bed!

Use the task manager to give Steam a higher priority.

That made decrypting run faster.

 

[Selous]

sweet ... im done ... see u guys tomorrow

 

[AndAllNaked]

It didn't show any progress during decryption, defrag was over in like 2 minutes... But Installing DirectX 11 takes like forever (10 minutes +)
Time to sleep?

 

[Selous]

oh .. i might add ... it went from 49% to finished really quickly ... then a 20mb dload
