That's completely irrelevant, modifying resolutions at the end of the day is just an arbitrary change of values. The only baseline to that argument is that it's poorly optimized, full stop. The issue exists outside of your ability to change that setting.

This was my reaction. I think MGR was the first 20GB+ game I've ever installed on steam and it took FOREVER. I definitely don't want to get used to this unless there is a massive increase in d/u speeds in general for US citizens.

I got my code from GameFly, redeemed it but it doesn't appear in my game list.
Any idea of what's going on?

Already did that, let me do it again. Someone told me it may take some minutes, so I'll wait a bit.
Edit: It appeared now, aw yeah, time to pre-load.

Is there any word on when the full unlock will actually occur? Only think I recall seeing is that it was totally up to Konami.
I ran the numbers from Steam (hours remaining) and it came out to 10AM PST. I'm not certain if that's the official time... To stay safe I'd say "the morning of" January 9th. So get a full night's rest and don't stay up till 2AM thinking it's a super late unlock. I've done that before and it is no fun.

Whoever is in charge of updating the registry app at Konami or Platinum will unlock the game. Store page says 10 AM Pacific, so it should be around then.
They can chose to unlock it earlier, or they can forget that they are supposed to unlock and it releases later.
Doesn't look like they removed the Ireland restriction yet, cool client icon though
EDIT: My math was all screwed up from the Pacific conversion. Tora is right, unlock is at 10 AM Pacific.
I think they did:
You'll notice IE (Ireland) is not in the updated list any more. I noticed they removed a couple of other country restrictions as well. Good news Afghanistan GAF!

You are correct, I needed to dig deeper into the app.

So why are konami games region locked in Asia? I am from Singapore and game shops i usually go to don't even carry boxed pc games. Really disappointed that the pc version of castlevania never was never released here.
Who knows? Would love to get an answer from Tora for this with justification. May be some legal loopholes.
Just buy the Amazon, GMG, etc version and activate via VPN, Valve looks the other way over this type of usage.
I doubt this. I have seen many posts on SPUF saying their accounts were suspended for using a VPN, and it is against the Steam TOS.
Yeah, it's usually used for super cheap Russian key redeeming and other sketchyness
It's technically against the SSA but there are no verified or reputable reports of people having their accounts restricted for using a VPN for reasons other than skirting region-specific pricing. Many GAFers, such as myself, use a VPN on the odd occasion to activate a region-locked key or unlock a game early and our accounts are fine.
What Valve frowns upon is when you use a VPN to browse the store and buy super cheap keys from other regions.
Purchasing a retailer key then using a VPN to activate is something else entirely and they look the other way.
If Jase is ok with it you can be assured of two things.
He always does his own research to the max on Steam related material
He is willing to put his money where his mouth is and 'risk' his own account to activate such keys. His account is massive.
I've heard of people getting their paypal account terminated for using vpn, so I'm not going to risk it since I use it for my work. Amazon don't accept paypal either. So I'm probably going to just wait.
Retailers such as GMG has region restriction on what games I could buy. I would need a vpn to buy from their website.

Oh come on why does this game unlock in the middle of the day.
why Konami ;_;
why Konami ;_;
It'll probably edge ahead of Rust but I don't see it overtaking the DayZ train.
Never buy NBA 2k14 of PS4 digitally. Think that ended up downloading 70GB including the in-game downloading.
It's roughly $19.70 at Nuuvem. The page says it's region-locked to the Americas but that's just Nuuvem covering its arse to avoid another Saints Row 4 fiasco.
Nice. Is it confirmed to work for Europeans or have they not sent out keys yet?
I'm going to hijack this a bit and ask about legacy Konami titles - NES/SNES/Genesis/GBA/PSX Castlevanias (and just about every other non-licensed game released for 8/16/32-bit consoles).
Any particular reason they cannot be made available on PC DD? Sega does that for some of their own Genesis games.
Let's not beat around the bush - people are getting the games left and right from ROM sites, and will continue to do so, but if they would have an option of buying them on Steam, at least some of them would do so (I sure as hell would love to see Igavanias there).
It seems to me like you're just leaving money on the table with the way things currently are.
First would need redoing, only way to play the first is using a community made .exe that has been edited to improve support for newer gpus, and only supports up to 1024x768
Nuuvem was sending out keys back when the game went up for pre-order so I assume you'll get your key immediately. As per the game's store + retail sub (Konami forwent the retail-specific sub for some reason) only those in select Asian countries require a VPN to redeem keys.

anyone know how to enable cookies in steam client? I can't sell my cards and the client tells me to do that (or re-login which I've already tried).
Try this, or, failing that, a fresh reinstall of Steam (you can backup your steamapps folder as well as your userdata folder if you have categories/shortcuts/screenshots you wish to keep). If neither work then just use your browser as quite a few people have had trouble selling items via the client.

Damn that's one big-ass preload. But oh well, almost done, will be ready for tomorrow.
It's been in the top sellers pretty consistently. It seems like it really did come out with perfect timing for the steam sale, and the general increase in traffic/sales in the holiday period.
I hope Konami releases sales numbers, I'm really curious to see exactly how well it did. The other 3 games in the top 4 (Starbound, Day Z and Rust) all gave out some sales numbers, but of course those are all indie developers, and they are generally a bit more open about that.
