This morning I woke up from a text message by my local game retailer, saying my rage preorder was ready.
I picked up my copy, put in the cd, started up steam aaaaanddd.... Cannot install because game hasnt been released yet. CRAP.

Steam problem, cause I picked up mine yesterday and everything worked fine.

Maybe try again? if not, contact steam. They are pretty quick at responding same day.

Are you from the US or Europe?

In europe? I live in the netherlands and the official release isn't till Friday...

svcks you have to wait, but its only a few days

Yeah.. with a bit of luck there'll be some hotfixes by then so I can avoid the stuff that's got the rage forum in a rage
