UK CE Box delivery came today!
I just got 3 copies of the UK Collector's Edition (not all for me:-)) delivered today in a big box, they left it at my neighbour's house and theyve only just got back home - the delivery has come from Germany by DHL, but I live in the Uk so it confused me when the DHL delivery ticket left in my letterbox just said '1 box left at No 1 - sender - Germany' (real helpful), I'd paid for the express delivery as its the same for 3 as it is for 1 copy.
Very surprised as my Ubishop order just says being processed or whatever. But, nevertheless YABBADABBADOOO! |
OI one of those is mine, you greedy swine...
I know posted the same on ubizoo. Just out of interest whereabouts do you live, hope mine arrives tomorrow apparently you can play straight away with it no steam lock :D |
Still waiting for mine. I want to touch it....I may kiss it. But I'll stop there.
|
Now that really pi@@ed me off after being told mine would not be dispatched until after release day???

We've just been assured that they're 'on target to have all pre-orders delivered by release date'. I'll believe 'em when it's in my grubby mitts. But congrats, zappa mate, have fun.:grin: |
Well done you, but where the hell's mine?! It had better come tomorrow or else! ;)

I live in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, it was UPS not DHL that delivered - sorry, sent 28/3/11 so that's actually pretty good going, I'd say. |
Kristorf - I suspect you have been given wrong info and that your copy will arrive in next day or so as well.
Seems to be confusion when contacting Ubi direct. I recall someone else being told the same thing, but apparently they are despatched to arrive in time. :) |

First post so not sure, only reason I can see is that the Goodwood circuit was built around Westhampnett airfield:grin:
Now if you want to see the real thing try and get to the circuit revival - not only the best motor racing but allways a few spits flying from the grass airfield:grin::grin::grin: Just how god intended. Was there the first year of the revival too see Mark and Ray Hanna in there spit and 109. Did miss the opening of the circuit by a spit 10ft off the tarmac. As for the CE's I work with Zappatime so looking forwad to my copy coming in the morning;) |
Just had a look on you tube, heres the link. Missed it by 10 min:(

sorry had to say that kris lol. |
Well it activates and works. made a new Steam user (as my old one gets used on my sons pc a lot); installs from DVD then when you run it it fires up into your Steam account and downloads a fairly big update, took a while, so watched the England match for 20 minutes:grin:
Frame rate is all over the place at the moment, but we've all heard why so wont go into all that, just hope the updates/patch coming by the end of the week maybe will make big improvements. There's an absolute ton of control keys, not many with a default setup, just the familiar il2 ones for views, bail out, padlock fly-by etc. Sound quality is variable, guns in the Hurricane sound oddly boxed in but loud, comms radio is difficult to hear and I havent seen any volume adjust for that, the audio setup is a little sparse apart from speaker selection, unless I'm missing something. I havent really played about with the settings, it defaulted to my desktop resolution (1920x1200) and medium settings - my spec: Q9650 @ 3.7Ghz, 4Gb ram, Zotac Amp 480GTX, SB X-Fi, Win 7 64bit Changing the graphics settings requires a restart to take effect, I know most games require this these days, but it restarts through steam so takes a while, unlike il2. I set it to very high just to see how it looked, my poor pc wondered what I'd hit it with:( its very early days, after such a long wait following the development for nigh on six years, I'll take a deep breath and accept waiting a bit longer to see it sorted, I remember thinking in the friday updates ' give it me now, I dont care that its got bugs' well, careful what you wish for!;) PS: The CE box is very nicely done, the spiral bound handbook has a really thick front/back to it, it would have been nice to see a list of available controls, like the old keycard in all the versions il2, not checked to see if there's any pdf's on the disc etc. |

Fortune favours the multiple orderer!!
I'm in London and most jealous that you have 3 copies and I have none. Getting totally useless info from Ubi about this, so will just have to wait like a good little boy until Mr UPS pays me a visit. |
Ironic that the packages come from Germany! Better games then He-111...lol
|
Has anyone (UK) received an email confirmation when despatched?
My CE invoice despatch date is 28th March but no email as yet - it appears a lot of us are still waiting delivery. |

Well thats a surprise, despite all the promises from Ubisoft, NO CE has arrived, Think I might do the lottery, I think I might have a better chance of winning that.

According to the UBI site, the majority of UK pre-orders should be with the customer on Thursday 31st the official release date.
