Steam unlock 1 hour earlier? : V

» Wed May 09, 2012 8:07 am

So I was expecting my game to unlock at 11pm local time but it's saying it will unlock in aproximately 3 hours wich is 10pm :celebration:

I'm not sure if I miscalculated it before or they changed the unlock time.

Anyone else noticed this in their regions?

It unlocks by region, not by timezone.

For example, in North America, its unlocking at midnight EST. This means that its unlocking at 11PM CST, 10PM MST, and 9PM PST.

I wish it would unlock an hour or two early on the East Coast.

I want to at least be able to have some time to create a character before shutting down for the night.

svcks - I'll have to wait until Friday night to start playing.

Steam unlock is ... weird.
It is 10 pm here in Germany.
Steam says the game will unlock in aprox 3 hours. :facepalm:

One hour more to kill :banghead:

What I mean is that it was 11pm before, now it says 10pm.

steam says that it will unlock in 3 hours, but its 23:15 here so it will unlock at 2:00?

» Wed May 09, 2012 6:58 am

Can any other West Coasters confirm that theirs says 8 hours from now? That'd be 9:15 tonight?

I didn't preorder, and I was going to pick up a copy tomorrow. But if I can get a few hours in tonight, I may go Steam.

Yes, they've moved the release one hour forward in CET as well.

Didn't get my copy in the mail today as promised though, so guess I'll sleep anyhow. Atleast I don't wreck my sleep cycle... FFS ><

For europe it's supposed to be midnight GMT, which would make the three hours correct. That's what mine shows too.

Welcome to the club.
Steam most likely unlocks the game at Midnight GMT+0 for whole europe. :brokencomputer:

So all of Europe will have to wait on the Brits? Who don't even consider themselves European, damn you! (I hope its not true), anyways I suppose I will find out in 1 hour 40.

US unlocks at the same time meaning the moment east gets it west gets it, so yes 9pm is correct. 21:01 to be precise

Same for me. :celebration:

Yeah, I just noticed this myself, I was like "Hmm, wasn't it 4 hours just a moment ago? The hell! WOOT!" XD

Awesomesauce~

Consider it revenge for the metric system.

So by region then.
All western American are cheering up. They get it early because Atlantic Timezone is regarded priority.
All Europeans east of UK are down in the dumps because these fish and chips svckers are regarded the ones that matter. :shocking:

Steam servers are getting overwhelmed, I can't even open their Skyrim page w/ the unlock time.

» Wed May 09, 2012 3:55 am

I am C.S.T. and mine still says approx. 8 hours

» Wed May 09, 2012 5:15 am

Where can I check when it gets unlocked for my region?

» Wed May 09, 2012 5:46 am

You know, there's advantages and disadvantages to living on the same coast as Bethesda. This is one of the disadvantages.

» Wed May 09, 2012 2:45 am

two more hours
the fun part is we the late ones get the dimensional teleport thing
it needs to charge thats all

» Wed May 09, 2012 4:21 am

Says 8 more hours for me, and it's 4:08PM CST (Texas).

» Wed May 09, 2012 10:05 am

This game will unlock in approximately 1 hour

Given my luck, I feel something really bad is going to happen to my PC.
