Probably too busy deciding when they will green light development of a PC version.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAMN GAME FOR A LONG TIME NOW WB, HURRY IT UP!

WB lives in Opposite Land, where people wear hats on their feet and "hurry it up!" means "delay the game another week!"
 
Why is this motherf**king game not out yet!?!? Jesus Christ!!!

BWAAAAAARGHHHH

I might even buy Skyrim to hold me over even though I hated Oblivion....

You poor soul.


it's no speed problem only..I have decent speed I guess -6Mbps-but only 30GB of monthly bandwidth cap/limit,that the reason why I still only buy discs.


I'm sure nvidia users will continue their time-honoured tradition of being able to play new releases on launch day.

Love that tradition..it feel so good in the green clan.

Heh...I remember similar feelings as those. Until we split up;p

Kind of annoying that Batman still isn't out. According to my library on Steam there still isn't a clear date on the game's release.

The (US anyway) store page shows when it will unlock. Currently showing 1 day and 11 hours, so noon central time.

30GB? Ouch.

We should have a pool on when they'll update it for the delay.

The UK unlock date was pushed back a mere ~2 hours before it was due to do just that. I was expecting a brief window of availability.

But you have an AMD card. Expect the game to be unplayable for a few days. :p

I lol but cry inside. If it's anything like some other games we might have to wait like 1-2months for crossfire support. Rocking a 5970+5870 and when it performs it's fantastic. When it doesn't it can be a annoying. (RAGE still does not have crossfire support!!!!!) :|

I really dont see why AMD crossfire users are bitching. This is UE3 game, single 100$ AMD card will provide enough power for smooth 1080p gameplay.

I have ONE AMD card, so I should be okay ;)

If there are issues day 1 (laughable to even call it that now) I will be so pissed off. It should run perfectly after all this bullshit.

Day 1+100.

AMD's stance on OpenGL can be summed up using the Harrison Ford "Who gives a shit?" gif... which I don't have on-hand.

It wouldn't surprise me if the delays were (partially) to offer AMD ample time to get their driver support in order.

Unlocks in 1 hour.

delayed again.

WB deserves a fucking soul clap for this one.
 
Store page says no such unlock time for me

Just shows it as normal

Edit: Restart Steam, then it should let you install it. At least, it did for me.

Restart Steam if you're having problems.

I got the "You already own this game / Play Now" frame on the store screen, of course the button does jack all.

ATTENTION: If you got Arkham City with an Nvidia code, restart Steam.

I just tried that and the game is now installing. Fuck yeah!

Time Remaining: 1 hour.

I'm gonna study math while waiting.

Yep, pre-orders on Steam need a restart too to start downloading.

9 hours 22 minutes at 512 kbps OH YEAH BABY, OVERNIGHT

(now I wish they released it at 10PM PST tomorrow so I could start playing after getting home from work tomorrow)

edit: they didn't fix the name, still is Batman: Arkham City (tm) PC, unless everyone is getting that now
