Im not ranting at steam ..even tho i think we are entitled to...its ok for them to take our money..Us thinking it will be there in 14 hours from 7 last night ...so it's not all one way m8 ...14 hours is why iv got the hump like i said before if u cant meet the time dont put up a time

True. I think countdowns and what not are only appetizer towards customers to tell us: Come stupid customer come... Buy buy buy

Like a chicken that is beeing attracted with corn/wheat if you know what I mean

So I am a chicken since friday last week ound:

I have found out the valve(steam) are in washington bellevue the time is 3.02 am so im guessing gtr evolution wont be downloadable until they get to work.
So i would say another 5 to 6 hours left
Valve
Bellevue, Washington

3AM is an ideal time to release, most US will be asleep, so the server get slammed at 3AM US time works out great, then the US gets up, has a coffee, and downloads at close to full speed on uncongested servers

[Lee Downham]

man... i wish i'd had more than just 30 seconds to attempt to activate remote desktop before i left

It literally only takes a 2 or 3 mins to sign up and set up ... should of done it instead of posting up here :wink: :doh:

I think Ben's got it right here. If they actually have to do something in order to get the game ready for people to download, they wont be doing it at 3AM - wait 5 or 6 hours until they are at work and then it may magically start working... i hope. *fingers crossed*

They will have had 24x7 systems, with monitoring and batch kick off's, or the systems would be physically manned if they intended on releasing it during their night ...
... people in the US do tend to get into work early compared to us lazy Brits :becky: (06:30 or 07:00) ... so maybe there is a chance that we will get it sooner?

3AM is an ideal time to release, most US will be asleep, so the server get slammed at 3AM US time works out great, then the US gets up, has a coffee, and downloads at close to full speed on uncongested servers

... if they had any sense they would have considered this and done it this way to save bottlenecks - but ... ermmm ... well ... this is the America we are talking about, and lets face it, in their view, anything outside of the US of A is not worth considering, let alone have the internet or technology ... ??? ound:

GTR Evo has been moved back to "Coming Soon" in Steam Store....

 

[Günthar Rowe]

As the first country in the world (time wise) they have 13 minutes to comply....

 

[Lee Holmes]

it still says released when i just checked?

 

[James Yates]

it still says released when i just checked?

Sadly though, it isn't yet.

Only problem i can see with a late release tonight will be those with slow internet connections may not get the game in time.

[James Yates]

There really isn't any point as it wont do anything...

Lets just wait for a few hours and see what happens.

No point, it'll not make any difference - am sure whatever is happening they aren't intentionally hacking their customer base off

... wait and see ... most of 'em are probably still drinking coffee and eating a donut on their way into work.

Expectation management is not good though ... will agree to that.

Other thing ... its labout day in the USA - ie. a public holiday I think ... :eek:

 

[Warren Dawes]

Well I'm certainly not staying up all night in the hope that it will appear. I can wait, so I'm off to bed and maybe better luck tomorrow, or whenever.

[Gary Lennon]

Another messy piss taking shambles right up to the last minute,i wonder if someone loses their job over these little disgraces?,what i need is a function in my bank account where i can display a little message when they try and get my money that says..."Mr. Lennons payment to you will be released in due course,thank you for your patience",maybe even a nice little 8 day countdown clock or something...
