Advanced launch doesn't work?
I have pre-purchased the Founders Edition, but am not able to play the game? It says: starts 11 February... Anyone has a clue why this is or how I can solve it?

Many thanks!

Restarting steam worked for me

same here, just started up steam today (06 feb) and no install button or anything. Depends on regional launch time or somthing?
If restarting Steam didn't work try restarting your computer.
I am not sure but it says 6 PM Europe time start of EA. Can someone confirm it ?

I'm in Europe and I'm downloading it now. It's been released in the early launch.

Also had to restart my Steam. First login today didn't allow me to download, restart worked. My timezone: GMT+2

Restart worked :) I also had no download button on first start of Steam. After restart it has shown.

You're the lucky one. System booted up, restarted Steam - no access.
The only reason I pre-ordered was to get the access today, but now I feel cheated as I am seriously considering demanding a refund & waiting for it to get reduced in price.
What a con.

You act like it's the fault of the devs and not the Steam platform.

Try rebooting your computer.

Restart the steam, It gave me the same info. Also FYI for everyone in terms of SD I had an issue can not download in bigpicture thus I switched to desktop mode and install it there then puff it shown on my bigpicture and I tell you the SD version works perfect the layout is really intuitive and easy to understand just like the switch ver. of civ6

Which version did you pre-order though? The basic game version doesn't include early access.

I had the same issue. I closed and restarted Steam, and the install button is not there! :)
