Default Steam Download question
Hi

I am in the UK and have preordered via steam.

Just wondering if it is worth me booking Thursday off work to play this game ?
I am concerned that it will take me till the following thursday to download once we all start hammering the Steam servers with a multi-gigabyte download.

Do they allow partial downloading before the release time to try and lessen the Server load ?

Regards Geoff

My steam says it will unlock at Tuesday @ 19:00 (if the unlock eta is valid). So no need to skip a workday.

I've pre-ordered from steam also, but on my library it simply says 'IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Pre-Order is coming soon', no release/unlock date or game icon. It doesn't look right some how, is there something I've done wrong?

Odd mine says 1 day 20 hours, so for me I could download it from 6pm.

However they don't always get released as soon as the clock stops and then you have to download it, doesn't make much sense to take a day off work if you ask me.

True in my library it states the same.
Go to store and search for il-2 then go to the store page of cliffs of dover. There it will say unlock in blablabla

I've just checked my Steam account- it used to say CoD would be released on 'March 31st', now it has been changed to 'coming soon'.
I'm in Australia, i'm not sure if Steam do staggered releases around the world.

Mine says coming soon, however steam says "this much time" on the main selling page which counts to 7pm british time.

The timer says "Available: 31 March 2011
This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 19 hours"

My good guess would either be 12am or some time in the morning when XBOX live does updates for the UK which is around 10am.
