Hurrah .

Thanks V_R - will be getting these in time for Bioshock. It has been years since I've been this excited for a game .

 

[floppybootstomp]

What again?

My Bioshock Inifinite is pre-loaded, all 16.75Gb of it, so if it unlocks at midnight I shall have a dabble.

But it'll probably be unlocked on American time, which would make it around 6am over here.

I best go get those drivers then. Odd, Nvidia didn't email me this time around, hmm.

 

[TriplexDread]

Cheers mate. No I didn't get an email either, ah well

 

[Ian]

But it'll probably be unlocked on American time, which would make it around 6am over here.

I think you're in luck, as Steam says "This game will unlock in approximately 4 hours" as of 7:30 GMT .

 

[TriplexDread]

To add, during installation these locked me out and put my screen into standby.

Had to reboot

 

[V_R]

You dont half have some issues dont ya! Maybe you should get and AMD card!

 

[TriplexDread]

Yeah I certainly do for a new build mate. Not sure what to do tbh.

Its half tempting to RMA this GFX card but part of me thinks it maybe something else
