111111......and no Skyrim!

Post » Wed May 09, 2012 4:58 am

I live in Thailand, bought the game over Steam.......it is now 11/11/11, and the time is 9:20 am.....and I do not have access to my game.

Pre-loading complete......and the store page tells me that my game will unlock in approximately 13 hours! What is this? It is 11/11........my game should be available.

That would be an international date line bug. Do a alt+f4 and choose restart on your life. Should fix the problem.

Thai food gives me the runs. So maybe Bethesda had the same experience and did it out of revenge? I like Indian food, but Thai food is like Indian food with way too much sauce on it and undercooked.

Well, I'm having the same problem in South Korea, and the food here is incredible, so I'm guessing it's something else.

Amazing, I post on the official forums and receive nothing but sarcastic comments.

Steam ticket provided no assistance.....Bethesda help and forums...no assistance.

I bought your game, the release date is now. Give me the game, or give me a refund.

I pre-ordered and pre-loaded this game so I could play ASAP.

Only Valve/Steam can help you~ Maybe try calling Bethesdas helpline or Valves helpline? Good luck!!

Sorry to hear that dude...though honestly I doubt very much that you will die in the next 13 hours or so...
I do hope they fix this issue so the others can play. I hope to watch some more gameplay...iv yet see someone play as a Khajiit...

Sorry dude. I asked them if I could process refunds but they said I wasn't trustworthy. Seriously, sounds like a time zone thing. Not sure if there is an easy fix except a 'be aware' that street dates may vary depending on where you are in the solar system.

Australia and New Zealand got theirs on their midnight, I have no idea why asia has to wait 1 day later.

And no point asking Steam. By the time they reply, Skyrim should be unlocked for us.

I just got the PC game.

I live in Japan and got my hardcopy from a military base (I work there)

I get the same thing. Game is not out yet so can't play. How are other people playing the game right now?

I actually read somewhere that Steam regards Thailand as West Coast USA. So you have a long wait.

Love your name. It's a great David Bowie song. :)

Here in the US, it was announced that Steam would unlock at midnight Eastern Standard Time (almost 90 minutes from now). I am unclear if this affects others on Steam outside of the US but it conceivably may. If you do not unlock in about 2 hours, then raise some hell.
