    Could this be something to do with my PC settings?

    not entirely sure, have you tried downloading it from the link you got in your email? (how i downloaded it)
    failing that what OS are you on? it might be windows messing around or something
    unfortunately i'm not that good with I.C.T so i cant really help any more than that

    Internet Explorer is fond of giving false positives; this is one of those cases.

    There's information on how to work around this here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/460950/#Comment_460950

    The problem with the solution is I am not receiving a "Run Anyway" option...
  • wubblewubble Member Posts: 3,156
    Tried a different browser?
  • BladesBlades Member Posts: 167
    Dolt!... I just needed to right click the warning to get the Run Anyway option...Uhm... sorry about that.. uhm.. nothing to see here... carry on....

    @Dee
    Is there going to be a standalone installer for the pre-load like the BG games had?

    Ahhhh thank you kindly, you have sated my lust for shiny manuals of goodness. This will satisfy me until you backwards people catch up and let me preload. Almost halfway through the 29th today! Being in the future sucks ;-)

    and i though being 6 hours ahead of canada was a long time...
    are you in australia or something?
  • rufus_hobartrufus_hobart Member Posts: 490
    Correct, @wubble. And being from the future, I can tell you that tomorrow it will rain and your pants will split. Wear clean underwear.
    *Scrolls up* damnit! Didn't see Dee's post coming. Stupid fallible futuresight. Wubble, don't stress about the underwear thing, I could be wrong.
    Tomorrow's only a day away....

    You could be wrong about my boxers splitting but as I live in the north of England its almost certain to rain today if it isn't already.
    Fortunately its only a short distance from my flat to my lecture halls :)

    However, due to some technical issues it looks like preloading won't begin until tomorrow. Our apologies to anyone who was waiting today; we'll try to get things going as early in the day as possible tomorrow.

    It's better to have problems now than on the (planned) release date. This one day skip doesn't change anything - we can wait. The more the wait, the fuller the pleasure from downloading at last :)

    Is there/will there be a stand alone installer (as in no client needed) like there is for BG:EE and BG2:EE?
  • artificial_sunlightartificial_sunlight Member Posts: 601
    Yes

    Thanks guys, you are the best!

    The game page now contains a "Install now" button when logged in, too bad it leads to a 404.
  • WigglesWiggles Member Posts: 571
    Is there a special link for the stand alone installer or is the Beamdog site 'install now' button the stand alone?
  • DeeDee Member Posts: 10,447
    That button will take you to a page where you can choose between Windows and Mac.

    The install now button is the stand-alone installer

    Error 404 :(

    If you click on the Windows Installer you get taken to this page - it also appears to sign you out as well.

    I'm sure it will get worked out soon. On another note, does anyone know what time the game will unlock once preloaded? Will it be at the stroke of midnight EST, or some time later in the day?
  • WigglesWiggles Member Posts: 571
    I know it's not up yet, but just making sure that that's the right place to go. Thanks everyone!
