Some questions. If I have to format my pc, then will I always (in a time of years too) have the possibility of re-download the game? If not/not sure in a long time, is there a way to have a disk image o something similar?
Is it possible to download the game on other pc? I've got a netbook and for now I 've pre-downloaded the game on my home pc.
You'll be able to download the game years from now. Even if Beamdog/Overhaul should cease to exist somehow, I'm sure they'll make arrangements with other distributers if that should happen.
Besides that, it's easily possible to save the installer to a DVD, USB key or a hard disk.
And you're allowed to install it on multiple pc's, although you can only play multiplayer when each pc have a different account.
Hurray... left the installer screen saying 'Getting Download Info...', and it suddenly started downloading the additional 500MB.. showing progress bar and download speed.
ok, i bought the game today, beamdogs site had some hiccups, but i was able to pay for it and download it with the games own launcher. Now, about the release date check..is it the 28th of november LOCAL (as in MY time) or do i have to wait til it is the 28th on whatever part of the world YOU guys are in?
While we're waiting, we might aswell have fun in the meantime! Check this guy out, he's making the franchise a bit more humorous. Especially because he's so dedicated (it's his first time playing the game) to play this. Have fun!
actually it is 30!! hours, not 18, cause they dont unlock the game til later in the day
We have waited since April for this game, what is another 30 hours? Earth is still spinning, time will pass before you know it.
Actually when i realized i had to wait another 30 hours i am QUITE sure i felt the earth rumble to a stop. and then its released when its late evening here, which means if i dont wanna take the day off the next day i shouldnt even touch the game that evening...i would get stuck for many many hours.

I really want to encourage you, but I must say that because of the catastrophic earthquake in Japan 2 years ago, the day grew longer by 1 second, so now you will have to wait even more ;-)
As per instructions here in this topic, I went to the location where I stored the new installer, installed it over the old one and clicked twice on the 'pre-load complete' message in the status bar. Than it too kept hanging at 'getting download info' for a long time. Suddenly there's a popup from my security software 'application change detected' - bgee.exe has changed and tries to access the internet, allow or disallow. Of course, yes, allow! And now it's downloading the extra 500 MB.
those numbers were from the actual folder where i installed the download (D:/BGEE). And thank you, i was just getting mightily confused with all the different figures thrown around and the mention of an executable file...decided to redownload just in case cos i'm a paranoid fool like that, so thank you kindly anyway, good to know someone else had the same i did.
There it is! Evidence that @rufus_hobart is slowing down the servers by excessive downloading! He's bringing the doughnuts to our all-nighter BG:EE playing.
Can somebody here help me? i recieved this message to my email but i dont know what to do next: Beamdog - Great Games, Easy Order Confirmation #********* I tryed to apply it as a coupon- doesnt work. Same in Beamdog luncher when i enter the password in the blank when ordering BG. Any help would be really appreciated
I downloaded 1.3 GB on thursday. Then I read somewhere around here that I'd have to download an extra 500 MB on the day of release. Today I started up my beamdog again. Now it says 1.8 GB and directly below that it says "Getting Download Information". That confused me quite a bit. Does that mean the program has already downloaded the 500 MB and that the "getting download info" is just for the release day package that actually lets me play the game? Or does it mean that it still hasn't completed the 500 MB download and is just stuck on "getting download info"?
I know it is probably a silly question for some of you more tech savvy people but I'm not that savvy.

There is hope yet!
(im in germany. to me it means release time is late in the evening on the 28th, 9 pm. You should just use local times for the release check)

The real problem is D&D session tomorrow evening/night XDXDXD
Son_of_Imoen is a happy man.
Or not.
"Plan is to set #bgee live on Beamdog at 1:00 pm MDT. We have a four martini lunch and then we start pushing bits."
