Hello!

I just ordered the download version from this site. I installed it and everything, but when i start it the screen is just black and its not even fullscreen. Its just a box that covers the half of the screen. What can be wrong?

PLZ HELP I CANT PLAY SSE because it wont exsept the acctavation code on the steam bit

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #232 on:** August 27, 2010, 16:48:07 »

Steam isn't accepting the keys just yet.

Steam is sticking to their own business hours, not European time.

That means that later tonight, around 21:00 CET, they will start their activation.

Then, all activation should go through okay!

So a bit more patience please, unfortunatly.

Regards,
Fred

same problem here. first steam said i'd already have the game and now it says that the cd code is wrong. can anybody from vstep or steam or whatever fix this??? slowly getting angry....

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #234 on:** August 27, 2010, 16:50:21 »

please read my post above yours.

Steam is not activating yet. They stick to their own timezone.

Fred.

well, that make sence. if it arrive tomorrow, i shouldn`t have any problems with Steam, right?

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #236 on:** August 27, 2010, 16:54:26 »

No tomorrow all Steam copies should be activated

danny · « **Reply #237 on:** August 27, 2010, 16:57:52 »

i'm slightly confused now,
so if i bought the boxed verison from amazon (not actually bought OFF amazon, but i used there website)
i still need to activate it using steam? or do i just type the key and away i go?
(btw, still not got it, fingers crossed tho!)

Steam tends to update about 8PM UK time. However they have been known to update at 6PM so you'll just have to keep checking.

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #239 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:00:31 »

Hi Danny,

There are various different types of copies of the game. Some which were published by Paradox, some published by others. If you have a copy of SSE that utilises the steam client then you will have to wait until this evening when Steam allow license key activations.

So either way, you will still be able to play the game

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #240 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:03:29 »

If you have the paradox version, you need to activate it with steam, yes.

All paradox ones have this.

Other versions come with an 'old fashioned' way. License key suffices with those.

Fred.

Thanks, my specs are good for this game since i allready played it (pirated version) then i decided to buy the game to support the developers.. and it worked fine yesterday (that was the paradox version). But today when i was gonna try it i had the same problem as i have now with the legal version :/

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #243 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:13:59 »

Hi Urge, what problem are you experiencing?

Also it is probably best to keep things like that to yourself

EDIT: Also, please register your SSE license key in your forum profile, we will be able to help you properly then.

He everyone!
As I already posted somewhere else. It's a shame:
A lot of people spent their money on a piece of software. And the only thing they could do so far is starting Steam over and over again and type in their cd-code just to read "you already own the software" or "Your code is invalid".

Is it a surprise, that this software is available today? Is it impossible to activate the license one day earlier? Is it a surprise that the 27th of august does not start at the same time over the world?

So thats all for now. I need to type in a cd-key

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #245 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:42:43 »

Yes, you would have thought that they would maybe start activations maybe last night ready for today

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #246 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:44:09 »

Guys,

As already discussed the Steam company are currently sleeping due to timezone differences. They're not going to go to work at midnight to flick the 'switch'.

Just be patient, you only have to wait a little longer

wiingman · « **Reply #247 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:52:15 »

dont get me wrong. I have understood that we have to wait. I was complaining about the fact that it would have been very easy to avoid angry users and a few hundred post in this forum.

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #248 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:54:03 »

Well yes that is true, and I do agree with you but sometimes these things cannot be helped no matter how hard you plan for them

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #249 on:** August 27, 2010, 17:54:54 »

90% downloaded of patch v1.1. even though I dont have the game
