Seeing as Steam says April the 1st for us here in Oz; does anyone know if we leave Steam running on Thursday night will it start downloading the game at midnight or does it require user input?

If you leave Steam running and your PC on (I know this is obvious, but you never know) it should begin downloading; however, typically it won't start until 10 am US Pacific time the day of release. I don't know if that is the same in AUS, and I don't know what time that would be over there.

Hmmm don't know what time Steam would do this as it's not the US release. If it does go by US time then I'm guessing that as we are ahead and it's 1st of April for us so:

US Pacific time Thursday, 31 March 2011 at 10:00:00 would be 4:00 AM Sydney Australia on Friday the 1st of April.

I'll leave it on overnight and see what happens. Either way I've got to go to work on Friday, but I'm hoping it's ready to play when I get home. I also hope my wife's going to the gym after work that day!!!

Anyone else notice on the paper cover of the Australian Collectors edition it says "Manufactured in Australia IL2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover ANZ"

Could explain why we got it early?

Does anyone know when the steam version will let us start downloading?

Damn wife has organised a busy bee at our kids primary school to make a farm garden! There goes my weekend intensive training session!

Cheers!

Must be taking longer to get to the country areas. Still no call from EB. Hopefully will be driving off to pick it up on Friday. And well done everybody on getting UBI to have these CE sets released in Australia. Just shows what can be done.

*sigh* and yet those of us in North America have to wait until April 19th.

I have yet to hear a good explaination as to why. Ah well. Hope you lucky people enjoy! and post lots of pics, vids etc. for the rest of us.

Hopefully it will be fixed and worth buying by then.

They letting the euros beta test and find bugs so we in USA can have the product the way it was meant to be!! After all we are the biggest market and likely the one that will make or break it.
