Has the game finally been released for the rest of the world?

[the__cat]

Well the Steam store says yes but my pre-load says no ....... not a happy bunny.

Same here. Not midnight UK time then?

 

[Dagorath]

But Civ V currently the most played game on Steam, beating CS, CS:S and CoD:MW2!

 

[Doppleganger]

Same here -a bit annoying but I remember there was a delay in the demo being downloadable even though it was after the deadline date. Hopefully will pop up in a few mins or so.

 

[Infiltrator]

Who says its in 50 min? The release date was 12 min ago if you read correctly.

Funny..

[Fabiano1979]

I already pre loaded...and the store says its released, but I cant figure out what I have to do to play.

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Time for some chips.

It is the 24th, I should be playing civ and eating chips.

SERVER BUSY

Oh yeah, it's not GMT is it? I forgot GMT doesn't just mean 'time in the UK'. UGH

It should be about 9 AM, give or take an hour depending on your region. If you have a steam account and you open up the main Civ V page it will tell you about how much longer till it unlocks.

Only 45 more minutes for me here in S. Korea. Horay for close proximity to the International Dateline!

No, midnight GMT. UK is currently GMT+1 because of daylight saving, so it will be released at 1am UK time.

(They could've made this clearer...)

 

[Antmanbrooks]

This 1am crap is ridiculous? I've had my boxed version sat here since 6.30pm on Thursday and it's now the day of release and I still can't download what I have already paid for. It's a minor gripe I know, but I'm not impressed with this Steam already.

 

[Doppleganger]

It should be unlocked already, that's the issue. 14 mins past the deadline.

 

[Arcamis]

It should have been ready 15 mns a go (I'm in France), but nothing for now .

 

[salaminizer]

it's supposed to be

 

[Selous]

[Exterminas]

Woohoo \\o \o/ o//

Forgot about British Summer Time and used GMT instead probably

 

[The_CatSnack]

Cmon and unlock already!! I been awake since 6am!!

 

[Doppleganger]

No, midnight GMT. UK is currently GMT+1 because of daylight saving, so it will be released at 1am UK time.

(They could've made this clearer...)

Yes they could have.

Err, no. It releases at 00:00 GMT, not 00:00BST...
If you read correctly.

Releases 5 pm PST, September 23rd. So, 1 am here in Britain. Why didn't I read that before? So optimistic.
