Let us start with a game issue thread since there are some problems at the moment and I am sure more will come.
Yesterday evening it was impossible for me and others to get to the game login page.
I could download and install the game but never reached the log in.
Reading on the internet the suggestion was that they have problems handling all players. True or not I don't know. It can also be some simple technical issue. Time will tell.
Anyway, this morning, 06:15, I had no problems getting there.
Then new problems started. I had to give a username and password to play the game.
Buying the game via Steampowered gives you no information about such things.
Ok, I will contact Steampowered and ask what the problem is.
Then, the normal Steam account does not work and they ask me to make another kind of Steam account to contact customer support.
My reaction was like the meteorite aiming for a seriously fucked up earth in the End Of Ze World video: "Well, fuck that"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZMwKPmsbWEI used google and fairly quickly I found a post saying that: right clicking on the game in Steam would bring up an account management option where this is handled. This option should be available when installation starts.
Of course I wasn't given that option right clicking and the game was installed yesterday.
More googling and I found a post that said it may work by "Verify integrity of game cache". This option can be found after right clicking and via some tabs. Lo and behold account management turned up with a right click.
Next problem is that the account management activation only seems to work with Internet Explorer. I use Firefox of course.
Ok, it didn't take me long to realize this but by now my mood had changed from happily looking forward to a new game to a critic that will be hard to convince of the Steam-Cryptic management of this game.
How on earth could anyone conceive such an installation procedure? There was absolutely no information whatsoever on how to do this. Mindboggling to say the least. I wanted to post my findings on the Steam forum but guess what, they wanted me to register another account for the forums. "Well, fuck that".
I hope I will be able to calm down and hopefully the game will be so amazing I will forget all about this by the end of the weekend
