[quote]am I going to get an e-mail with my product code, or will the game just appear as available in Impulse?[/quote] Both.

[quote]Oh, btw. I do have "Show pre-release versions" checked in my preferences.[/quote] That's only for betas, so won't be needed tonight.

You should receive an email once you've been charged, and it should appear in impulse after a refresh at that point.

You can check/change the email address on your account on the support site . If your preorder has not been charged yet and your email changed since you placed it (in the past month or so), you'll want to contact [email protected] to sort that out.

[quote]What about having beta 4 already or will we have to download it fresh?[/quote] It will force an uninstall to make sure no beta files bleed through and cause trouble. So uninstalling now will save you 30 seconds later.

See here.

The download is around 2GB.

Please direct discussion to the existing thread on the subject here .

Right now it'll only show if you still have the beta installed. Still can't update it either way until we reactivate the keys, though.

[quote]I get the frustrating feeling Im going to have to wait until tuesday to get it straightened out as well.[/quote] It is working as intended--the beta keys are temporarily disabled until we have the new build ready to go. The game will reappear when we get there and the keys are re-enabled later tonight.

Best Buy purchasers will get some minor extra stuff post-release (it's not ready yet), and I'm told Walmart buyers will get something as well. We'll be notifying those people once the content is available.

Beta keys are disabled until we have tonight's build available, hopefully within the next couple of hours. You will be able to update/install via Impulse then.

The beta keys were disabled earlier this week until we have the early access build up tonight. Once that's ready, the keys will be re-enabled and the game should reappear in Impulse.

Beta keys are disabled until tonight's build is up. You can't re-register it because it's still registered to *your* account. Once the build is ready the beta keys will be turned back on and you will be able to download with no messing with registrations.

The beta registrations are disabled until we have the early access build ready later tonight. The game should reappear for you at that point. [quote]English motherf*cker - do you speak it?![/quote] If you can't contribute constructively, don't post.

As $50 is around 32 pounds, it sounds like prices are just finally starting to correct for the weak pound. It's devalued quite a bit in the past couple of years relative to other western currencies so UK gamers have really been getting things for cheap up until now.

Most likely, yes.

Uncharged preorders don't appear in Impulse because you don't have a registration yet. Don't reorder as that'll just result in your buying two copies once the orders are charged.

The campaign will introduce the game world and a number of mechanics. A spoony bard will also offer his services of tutorial messages at the start of game (you can disable the messages in the options if you just want him along to hit things).

Same as any download in Impulse (Install game on My Games tab). We'll announce once the wheels start turning.

We will not be doing Euro retail; see this journal for more details. You will need to order DD/box direct or get the box via an importer.

Saves are under the my documents folder so porting the game itself wouldn't really help there (and we don't mind you having it on your desktop and laptop at the same time anyway).

[quote]How long ago do we have to have pre-ordered to get the early download?[/quote] Before we start charging them tomorrow, for the midday window.

The retail version does not require any activation out of the box, however you will need to use Impulse to update the game.

[quote]Ok, I preordered elemental, then a week latter I changed my email address[/quote] If you no longer have access to that address you'll want to contact [email protected] immediately. The game will be linked to the address it was ordered for, so if you can't update it in time you'll need to have support merge it to the correct one on Monday.
