So, it's time to give people some information about installing and activating your game on Steam.



• If you have ordered a Steam edition of the game and already have your Steam key, then, as many of you have already found out, you can start pre-loading now. We still have a few things to upload, such as videos and voice recordings that are still being finalised, so the pre-load will continue to update over the next few days. The final update when the switch is flicked to release the game should be just a few MB.



• Talking of flicking the switch, our plan is to do so at midday 12:00 GMT/UTC on the 15th. You'll have to work out your own timezone differences for that! I know nobody will take any notice of this, but please be aware that that is an estimate and there are various factors, not all under our control, that could lead to it changing.



• For those of you who have ordered a boxed edition, if you receive your game before the release date then you can also pre-load the game by activating your Steam key - you'll find it in the box - using the Steam client. You cannot, however, pre-install the game using the DVD before release.



• Notice to those who have bought the DVD but who cannot, or do not wish to, pre-load the game directly from Steam:

Once the game is released the Steam client will need to download and add approximately 1.5GB of data in addition to what is on the DVD before you can play. Again, this additional data consists mainly of videos and voice recordings which were not ready at the time the DVD was manufactured. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
