Crossworlds on Steam
 

On the east coast of US, steam will not down load till 1pm any one know why thanks:confused:

Well you shouldn't trust steam release times that much (after all the released the game week earlier...) so basically they release it at some point today if everything goes well.

This. It generally unlocks when it says it will, but be prepared to wait an hour or two after the given time (So within the next two hours I'd say) for it to actually unlock.

Does anyone know if the game has been released on steam already? atleast the timer disappeared...

Nope, not yet. 14 minutes past the deadline and counting. First they released it one week too early, I hope now they won't make us wait one week...

I think they are working on this now. Cause on same pages of the store it says that the game is a new release, on some - coming soon. Guess US is just waking up, let them have their morning coffee before becoming fully operational :-)

It's pretty weird that you can still pre-purchase the game though lol :-P

As I said above, you sometimes have to wait beyond the unlocking time for it to, well, unlock. It should have unlocked at 5pm GMT+1 (UK time) which was about 40mins ago. Could still be a short while.

Sometimes you just need to exit Steam and load it back up before it works.

Well, honestly I don't expect things to work smoothly until the guys come to the office and it is, let's say 10 am their time :-)

I would suspect, perhaps even hope, that Valve use an automated system for unlocking rather than hitting a big red button.

If they do, it doesn't seem to be working. At all.

I thought i was the only one with this problem. Its not 2pm and syeam hasn't downloaded my Crossworld :(

Guys, i will not go to bed until this issue is fixed. I have already raised all possible alarms I could. We have never had troubles like this before - wrong pricing, wrong unlocking, now no unlocking when it is time... But I am working on this personally though it is 10 pm in Moscow

That's great to hear, megakill.

Valve have really messed up with Crossworlds :(

Nice good to see 1C has people that care about customers :)

Thanks! We might be Russians, but games are our passion. :-)
Now back to the point - just off the phone with Steam guys. They promised to fix everything within 2 hours maximum... Not best news but at least something.

Count me in too as a dissatisfied Steam customer. I purchased the bundle of KB:AP and Crossworlds on Steam on Wed. Steam downloaded KB:AP and The Legend, but it's 13:30 Chicago time on Friday Sept 17th, and still no sign of my Crossworlds in my account. It still just says my pre-order is "Coming Soon".

Not the most glorious Friday night… And I thought this release is belated on purpose, to appease non-steam customers who would be jealous because of one "pre-release" ;)

Well, I just put my daughter to bed, so I have nothing else to do, Steam beware :-))

It seems to be working now, thanks a bunch for the effort! :grin:

Yeah it works tx a lot :D

14:18 Chicago time and finally Steam is allowing Crossworlds to be downloaded to my account. Hopefully all is well after this finishes downloading. Thanks to 1C for making the call to Steam and rattling someones cage over there.

It looks they really have a red button and have to press it separately, maybe not for different users but for different regions. My game was unlocked several minutes after you guys posted that it worked. Fortunately, it needed only to download 35 MiB to work (initially, as I explain later), so it was fast.

I've noticed some changes in comparison to the "pre-release". The interface is no longer coloured according to campaign selected. The campaign can be switched instantly (there's no lag), but new game/load restart game without asking (but it's quick so not an issue). The game shows that there are 4 campaigns available, but there are five in my case (the gift bag is the fourth one, and the orcs are fifth), by the way all older saves work with they respective capmpaigns. There is also a bug with interface when playing Orcs on March campaign, but this may be an issue with corrupted file so I'm not delving into it for now. I performed validation and it said that it needs to reaquire over 1 Gbyte of data in 25 files. That's strange because I saw some new units, and had no crashes (so the data for them must be there) but I'll let steam do its part.

So, there were some problems but it seems evetyrhing will be fine.

Except where are the editor textures?... :confused:

Ok, then going to bed finally, otherwise my missus will kick me out in the morning :-)

Hm, I haven't started editor, there may be some problems with it. This is another difference - there's no editor in the TOOLS tab of Steam, so it can't be downloaded separately at all. Maybe this is another issue to work on for megakill :|
Or maybe it will show, in time.

Then have good night! (and I think it's better to be kicked out in the morning than in the midnight, so it could be worse ;))

I will check what the hell is the problem with the editor with Steam. I have requested some test keys from them, but I can't check this until Monday :-(

The editor listed in tools menu is actually the texture pack but for some reason it isnt there now :rolleyes:

They are saying they are working on all the problems, as well as adding KB Platinum pack with all the games in one pack at a nice price included. Oh well, will see what is going on on the morning. Hope I won't see 5000 angry posts here that smth is wrong again.
