Can't install Brink PC Steam. : Othor Games

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:48 am

Hello guys!

I live in the Netherlands, I got Brink early today on DVD.
Now I want to install the game, it uses Steam, and when I enter the serial it says not available. Is this 'cause Steam block it 'cause it's not released officialy, or is it me?

Also, the serial key is the small sticker below the DVD right? Not on the back of the manual, 'cause there's no serial on the back of the manual.

Thanks to the one clearing it up for me.

Same problem here, I live in Belgium.
It's probably because the game was scheduled to be released on friday, I'm quite sure it will be available then, if not sooner (hopefully, I've been waiting to play Brink for several months now

)

Also, I had the driver thing at first, it read Brink's DVD as a blank one. Re-entered it and voila, I could install the game (if it was available for Belgium).

I've tried rebooted, inserting it multiple times...check my driver it is the current one. This svcks.

This is because of Steamworks and the game will not work untill the offical release date

On friday the 13de at around 4 a clock in the morning

Heel apart dat de hardcopy van de game al in de winkel ligt er was een embargo tot a.s. vrijdag.
i.v.m. de steamworks intergratie. zit niets anders op om tot vrijdag te wachten

Unfortunatly what I was thinking

[Dutch]
Geen hoop dat Steam het spel vroeger vrijgeeft?

[Dutch] Zei de verkoper ook al, dat het héél vroeg is, maar dat hun toestemming hadden. ?_?

So retailers are allowed to sell Brink, and let customers wait 3 days at home before being able to play, excuse my french but what the [censored] is this for kinda of [censored]?
Their release date is 10 may 2011, but here in NLD it's on 13th and yet I bought it today at the store, anxious to play, but CANT for another 3 days!!!

[Dutch] Wat een onzin weer dit, echt kut geregeld! Daar gaat me enthousiasme...

Should be time for Steam, gamestores and Gamepublisher too stop using different release dates for US, EU and other counties.

[Dutch]
Nou drie dagen is niet zo erg had Brink zo rond september vorig jaar al ge-pre-odered in de hoop dat hij toen al uitkwam
Die drie dagen kan ik nog wel wachten

I agree, games should come out the same date international!
1st:
It's just lame.
2nd:
The one with 3 days earlier release get a small advantage being able to unlock stuff earlier.

It was well known that the game would be released on may 13th in Europe, they said that many times before. And seeing how many problems occured with the PC version I'm glad they did it this way so there might be a patch already on friday

Ah figured it out, we can play when it's officially release in UK times? wich means only a few minutes left to wait.

Om 1 uur kunnen we gaan spelen, hopelijk, en zonder bugs.
