    We're testing some functionality on installers, so you may see it show up with about 15 bytes to download. There won't be a preload period for the expansion.

    I thought I was going to get lucky, I opened the Beamdog client and realized I didn't have that version of BG installed, I had done the standalone client install last time I rebuilt my system, so I clicked to install BG assuming I needed it and it popped up with an other box saying that there was an expansion available so I should install it instead. I chose yes but it only downloaded 15 bytes and stopped. :(

    This Beamdog post on Facebook says there will be a live twitch stream for the countdown at twitch.tv/beamdog starting at 9 AM Pacific.

    See you then, Beamdog.

    See you then, Beamdog.

    If you follow the link to the beamblog from that facebook post, you read "We'll countdown to the game release at noon", which means that the release of SoD will happen at 12 PM Pacific TIme (http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/midnight-noon-12am-12pm.9914/)

    3 hours before that the live twitch will start.

    No preloading is meant to stop any leaks before the game releases (so that people couldn't use programs like DLTC to check preloaded files).

    Is this 2:00 or 3:00 EST?

    It will launch on steam at the same time I think. Pre-orders were Beamdog only.

    @Skarose You'd better download BGEE now, before the SOD event starts, so that you didn't waste time when needed.

    On Beamdog, you will be able to "just" install the Siege of Dragonspear product, which includes both BG:EE and SoD.

    On Steam, you will want to load BG:EE so that you just have to download the SoD part when it goes live.

    The release for Central Europe should be 9pm, i.e. 21:00 in 24h clock
  • moody_magemoody_mage Member Posts: 2,054
    1PM Pacific translates into 2100 for the UK (BST), So 2200 for Europe (CET).
  • kotekokoteko Member Posts: 179
    @HappyFunRun countdown on twitch should start at 6pm central european time. Release is apparently at "noon" pacific time, so it's at 9pm for us.

    The game release is at noon PT, the AMA on Reddit is at 13:00. I'm getting this from the latest Beamblog post.

    PT is 8 hours behind BST and 9 hours behind CET, so the game release is at 20:00 and 21:00 respectively.

    Only says 15bytes still for download. Also it somehow deleted my BG EE when trying to download the expansion.
  • Sylvus_MoonbowSylvus_Moonbow Member Posts: 1,085
    It's not available yet, @Captfish.

    Yes, my bad 12PM PDT - the notes that I was looking at were for MDT. Yay timezones.
  • moody_magemoody_mage Member Posts: 2,054
    Basically set up camp at your PC in about 4 hours and refresh until something happens.
