bought it and ...

[.:: VRU ::. Dede Lajoie (fr)]

I bought the game this week end, it appears in the library but that's it.
I was expecting there would be some message saying it's not yet available or so.
Is this normal ?

Did you miss the part about release on the 11th?

[.:: VRU ::. Dede Lajoie (fr)]

nope, it's in my message. I just want make sure that everything is normal and OK since I never bought anything before its release

[VukasinDordevic]

Yes it is normal that it is in your library :)

I thought early access was on the 6th? Also I've never bought a Day 1 game on Steam. Can you pre-download so it's ready immediately at release?

[Martin]

Depending on the release version, ie how much you paid, the game will show no install button until the 11th or depending where you live some time in the next 10 hours or so.

There will be no pre download release, the nature of the server system steam uses prohibits preloads except for very big games. Preloading unduly lags the system with excess data flow that for such a small game isn't needed.

You're fine :)

It should be available at varying times depending on where you live to start downloading. If it looks like you can't download it yet (and you should be able to), you may have to force quit/reload Steam. I've had a few releases where Steam didn't auto-update once it was past the release/download availability time.

I bought the game early to get access to it on the 6th like it stated... I still cant install the game... I have seen others who have been able to. I dont get why?

Because you haven't and they are lying. Except for streamers who got free keys.

See the link here: steam://openurl/https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1295660/view/508445172204307173?l=english

For me at least, I can't install for another 9.5 hours or so.

Why change that approach? Have you not paid attention in the last couple of years? Never buy before release.

If you check the store page, it should say when it unlocks depending on version. Like for me for example, it says unlocks in approximately 9 hours

[Indemnification]

Hmmm, I see a few people who didn’t spend $130 for early access… yet most of us who did are still being told to wait until the 11th. Did you even consider that before coming here to talk trash?

Coming in like you're smart, yet you can't even think about that? Martin, really? I bought it, $130, says I have to wait till the 11th.

i like how the store page says early release starting Feb 5th
