Rome II

[Bison]

I wonder if the pre-load will be able to auto-update with the hit that the Steam Servers will take from lots of European and Asian buyers D/ling the whole game. I've left my Winbox on in the Mancave (such as it is) in hopes that it'll all be ready for a quick peek before work tomorrow.

I think it'll honestly more depend on which Steam server you are downloading from in the States.  You can check which regional server host you are using in the settings.  The United States has like 20 or so regions.

As others have said: why they couldn't do this Friday is beyond me and somewhat criminal.

Isn't the development team out of England?  If so, I doubt they care much about US Federal holidays.  Not to mention we all still pre-ordered knowing it'd come out afterward.

I tried to check but the settings option is not yet available.

Maybe they were trying to spread out the server load since they knew it was Labor (Labour) Day weekend in Can-Am.

Click on the "steam" label in the upper left hand of your client then select settings.  When the settings window opens up, there is a tab labeled downloads.  That is where/how you select the region you download for your Steam client.

I am hoping it is an auto update, but seems some games require you to restart steam to trigger the download...maybe since already preloaded that wont be required.  I guess we will see soon enough.

[Bison]

That is a very true statement Grim.

Green Man Gaming just sent me a 35% off offer for Rome 2. Too bad I already bought it from them 25% off. But I appreciate the offer.

Me too but if I click on the link, it changes from 35% off to 19% off. 

I don't like GMG.  They keep sending me emails about 25% off vouchers but they never work on anything.
