Xukuth Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Once expanded click on the "Choose Platform" button to bring up a menu where you can select your preferred platform. We offer the choice between Steam and GOG. Once you have selected your platform you can press "Generate Key" to create a download key. Note that once you have generated a key for a platform it may not be changed in the future. Choose wisely. So I can't get both a Steam and a GOG key? I gotta say, for something that presumably has a marginal cost to you of near-zero (but I spent quite a bit of money on), that's...disappointing. That would mean you'd get two copies of the game tho... ...however, if what you meant is that you're getting multiple digital copies of the game with your reward tier, I'd think you can choose the platform for each one? I don't have that so can't check, but are they listed as separate entries in your backer portal? I don't think (at least in this case) that being able to download the game from two different places is really equivalent to two different copies of the game. I'm already getting a physical DRM-free copy of the game if it's a "but you can give a key away to someone else!" issue - and if I choose GOG, I'm already able to get a digital DRM-free copy. I'd just like to be able to have the game on both my GOG and Steam "shelves" (and no, manually adding a non-Steam game to the client is not the same).
Valmy Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 But I want to play now It has been a long road Obsidian! Looking forward to see it in all its glory tomorrow!
JFSOCC Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 pre-loading now. can't hardly wait! Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate.

Archmage Silver Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Just redeemed my Kickstarter Royal Edition on GOG.com! Looking forward to playing the game and seeing what kind of response it gets from everyone. Exile in Torment
stasisbal Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 So has there been any word on when physical goods will be shipped (I'm in the continental US)? My order has said "Shipping Soon" since last week. Previous updates and that shipment poll implied we would be getting the stuff before or at launch. Have people received anything? Did I miss something? Otherwise, thanks for the update. The most important thing is I have the actual game preloaded and I'm super excited to play it.
Azmodiuz Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) What time exactly is this unlocking ? I ask because it is now, officially the 26th and its still locked.wait, just found it, 17 more hours ?!?!?! so, basically hours before the 27th.... how ****ing stupid is that. UGH, I hate **** like this. Edited March 26, 2015 by Azmodiuz 3 Obsidian wrote: "those scummy backers, we're going to screw them over by giving them their game on the release date.

ravensamdear Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I preloaded the game on steam. Still haven't received anything in the mail. On my Orders page it still says "Shipping Soon"... *fingers crossed*
LordCrash Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Just redeemed my Kickstarter Royal Edition on GOG.com!

Lord Wafflebum Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 What time exactly is this unlocking ? I ask because it is now, officially the 26th and its still locked. So does anyone know yet at what time exactly the game will become available? 9AM PST, 4PM GMT If you are in Montreal, Canada it is, in fact, the 25th currently.

Raeya Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Thank you! This answered all the concerns I was having. Hoping for a great launch and I can't wait to play.
Aotrs Commander Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hm. I thought GoG might have let you do a pre-load too, but apparently I should have gone for a Steam key... (I'll grant you my choice was fairly arbitary...!) I was half-planning on setting it up to load overnight, but nevermind. (Mainly 'cos it took five hours at the weekend to download the latest Star Citizen gubbins...!) Eh, no great loss (especially since I thought it was due out of Friday...!) I am not really likely to be able to get to do any playing tomorrow anyway because of time and my wargames (so I guess I'll set it up to download when I get home tomorrow afternoon and it can be doing that while I'm out using my TIE Interceptors to slaughte rebel scum.) I probably won't be able to have a proper stab at it until the weekend either way. I've waited two-and-half-odd years, I can wait a few more days...!
yaggaz Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 aaand...current number one on steam top sellers chart! Hey does the list go by actual real sales happening now, or does it go by keys being redeemed. I'd like to think a tonne of people are buying it AS WELL as all of us redeeming our keys.
yaggaz Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I did a search for Champion Edition and all I found was todays update announcement. Champion is the one where you get a boxed copy with a CD -and- an extra digital key. But when I go to my product page it just says redeem a key, not Key(s) Does the physical CD require a key for activation? If that is the case, then I must get two serial keys yes? One that will come physically printed on the disk and will it be a separate key to the one we generate for Steam/GoG?

Aryn Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I almost freaked out when I didn't see some of my kickstarter element stuff not showing for my original 250 pledge. Looking around, found it. X)

GOG can't really let you do a pre-load given that they're DRM free. How are they going to stop you from playing before the release?
BAdler Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 And again no official explanation or apology for the delayed physical rewards for international backers. They really know how to disappoint. Anyway, congrats to all fellow backers. I hope you will have fun tomorrow and in the upcoming days with the game. I'll probably wait for a few more days/weeks... Once I get an official word from Paradox that shipments have started I will make an announcement. Until that time there will probably be radio silence because there is nothing new to report. 1

dragonreborn1 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 this is awesome so glad this is finally happening! One question though... when will we get our digital strategy guides?
Guest Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks for the update, BAdler. Hope you guys party like the rockstars that you are tonight.
Lephys Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I hope you redeemed that key already, Voodootissue. 8P 'Cause now everyone has it. 4 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
Volourn Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hmm.. I thoguht I checked this before but I thought at $250 you'd get the hard copy of the strategy guide not just the internet version? Am I wrong or did it get changed? I got the Royal Kickstarter Edition but am getting the Retail Collector's Edition . Interesting. P.S. Otherwise, hard copy stuff is called 'shipping soon'. YAY. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
