[quote who="parrottmath" reply="57" id="3452248"]Probably a good idea...I'm sure that the release won't be for another hour at least. [/quote] Unless, like someone else speculated, Steam updates their lists at 1pm (-4GMT) so it might pop up within the next 10-15 min. or so... Then again, it might be quite some time.
[quote who="androshalforc" reply="157" id="3452234"]...although I still need to install steam ... Shoulda done that last night [/quote] Wow! You must never have been a Boy Scout then nor live by the ancient Chinese proverb, "Expect nothing, but be ready for anything.". ;)
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="50" id="3452232"] Ah. I have no idea. All I'm concerned about is EST and getting the alpha out. [/quote] Good man! (said from someone on the East coast...)
[quote who="scruffitude" reply="31" id="3452197"] Thanks satoru1 and abiessener for swift replies. I suppose I'm just a bit too eager for this game! [/quote] How atypical! No one else around here is... ;)
[quote who="cichlidfan" reply="27" id="3452144"] Quoting Avatar137, reply 20 Once the Alpha is available, it will automatically begin to download. Not until you click an 'Install Game' button.[/quote] That was said after you have already activated the game in a previous post further up. Once the key has been entered and the game activated it will download once it is available. At least that has been my e
[quote who="WNxHakan" reply="24" id="3452140"]I was being utterly facetious.[/quote] Now that's what we like to hear! lol
[quote who="dirtbag007" reply="19" id="3452100"]I could. But it didn't plap up Galciv 3. Just some Steam thing name.[/quote] Once the Alpha is available, it will automatically begin to download.
[quote who="WNxHakan" reply="3" id="3452105"]Yes, but at least I'm just staring at Steam now (willing it to appear in my library), instead of my e-mail, the forum, Stardock's homepage, and Steam as well all at once.[/quote] Yeah, it's tough spreading ourselves so thin, now there's only one place to space out on. (No pun intended) :)
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="62" id="3452120"]The download is not live yet, so it's just having a bit more patience now. [/quote] And there you go with that dreaded "P" word again!
[quote who="Goresh" reply="61" id="3452118"]Was something supposed to happen after I activated the product on Steam, because there are no new game options?[/quote] Normally, when you activate a game, it will then start to download, but seeing as the keys have been released but the Alpha isn't ready to be released quite yet, no download has begun. Once the Alpha is available it will begin to download automatically!
[quote who="Tridus" reply="6" id="3452107"]See, that's totally false. Everyone knows it's 41.3%! [/quote] Dang! Wrong again...
[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="57" id="3452111"]Yet it isn't available for download... wow. Stardock, man, you know how to drive me crazy.[/quote] And with days like today, (impending Alpha release) that drive is very very short! :D
Bummer being downunder at times like this. We'll let you know how it goes, mate, no worries.
Inputed and activated! Just awiting the download now...
Sweet, going to see if I can input it yet...
[quote who="Frog_of_War" reply="52" id="3452093"]Thanks then I will try and wait some more patiently ! [/quote] Yeah, good luck with that! ;)
[quote who="Tridus" reply="3" id="3452087"]It's commonly said that 90% of people never change the defaults in a program. So don't worry, lots of people are going to see the founder star names. [/quote] It's also said that 78.4% of stats quoted on the net are also made up. [e digicons];)[/e]
[quote who="Revan67" reply="49" id="3452080"]Works for me, I will be home and ready to play by then [/quote] Same here, though I'm hoping to be able to start the download before I finish work. The nice thing is that I work from home and only have 13 steps to walk to get back into my house from my home office to start playing/testing!
[quote who="Frog_of_War" reply="48" id="3452076"]Afternoon sounds nice in theory but what time zone if I may inquire? [/quote] US EST, -4GMT (UTC) if I'm not mistaken.
[quote who="The_Gear" reply="13" id="3452081"]It's only 9:19AM EST here. Just a bit longer now.[/quote] That's easy for you to say! You already have been playing it for quite some time now. We, on the other hand, have not and therefore are extremely impatient if you can't tell. :D
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="44" id="3452062"] It will most likely be this afternoon. We have to make sure everything is set to go first. [/quote] But that should have been done yesterday!!! ;) (j/k)
Well, if I must drag my ancestors into this... I've got a lot of Scottish and a smidgen of Irish in me from my father's side and a bunch of German from my mother's side of the family. So in a way I guess you could say I'm straddling that there pond. :D (what an image that brings to mind, huh?)
[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="32" id="3452023"]Damn you British Yoda man! Damn you![/quote] Uh, sorry to dash your beliefs but I'm on the other side of the pond. ;)
[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="30" id="3452021"]If you ever need a pick-me-up, just think about how sleepy one ParagonRenegade is, and chuckle a little bit and mutter 'dumbass' under your breath. It helps.[/quote] ROTFLMAO! Okay, I'll remember that one, thanks for the tip. Edit: Editied to say I feel for you guys across the pond. I've only been up for about 90 min. and am starting work in 15min. so my super restless anticipati
[quote quoting="post"]Having a “retina” UI system capability (i.e. different DPI UIs based on resolution) is going to come in handy. You can kind of tell that GalCiv II was designed during a time before high resolution displays. [/quote] Nice! thanks for doing that.
