[Jintor]

But not working yet! You jumped the gun!

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

AWESOME. I've only been following this a little but everything I've seen looks great. Can't wait to try out the demo.

 

[Fersis]

The download never starts for me

 

[whalleywhat]

But not working yet! You jumped the gun!

Another masterful maniac-kun troll.

 

[Peff]

Oooohh, very nice! Looking forward to playing it later.

 

[Derrick01]

And you can't play it *evil laugh*

 

[Firebrand]

Gosh... I want to try this.. but... I've already pre-ordered the game... might as well wait.

Nice of them to release a demo ahead of release though. Maybe that'll help them sort out some technical issues.

That sounds like my luck in every chance related event in a video game.

[Durante]

Yeah. So I tried it in big picture mode. It does something there.

Spoiler

Crashes big picture mode

 

[Aaron]

I think Steam is under alien control.

 

[Jintor]

lol

 

[Truant]

Start Steam in compability mode, 256 colours, research cold fusion, and it should work.

 

[Klyka]

Yeah. So I tried it in big picture mode. It does something there.

Durante fixes X-COM download link in 23 minutes!


Pretty please?

 

[Aaron]

What makes this more cruel is the pre-order thing mentioning it'll be two weeks before this game unlocks.

 

[JaseC]

I think Steam is under alien control.

 

[Sullen]

cruel steam overlords! Make it work god damn you make it work!

 

[Xater]

Why doesn't it work? I booted into Windows for this

 

[Fersis]

Gabedesu suuuugoooii !! :3

[maniac-kun]

Demo link is gone

 

[thetrin]

Open, damn you, open!

Ultra magnus, you have to put your fingers in the holes on the handle! WHY DID NO ONE TEACH YOU THAT?!

 

[whalleywhat]

Demo link is gone

It's still listed under Demos. What goes on?

 

[Xater]

It's still listed under Demos. What goes on?

Maybe somebody jumped the gun and the demo wasn't supposed to go up today?

 

[FGMPR]

It's working!

5.4gb

 

[Aaron]

Hell yeah! It's Christmas time!

 

[Jintor]

5 gig DEMO? Gawddamn

I wonder if it's the preview code.

 

[Totakeke]

Says no subscription error for me.

 

[whalleywhat]

It's working!

5.4gb

unggghhh
Downloading.

 

[Wario64]

It's working!

5.4gb

Downloading this shit now

 

[Perfect Blue]

"An error occured while installing XCOM: Enemy Unknown demo (No subscription"

wtf

 

[Durante]

It's working!

Wow. How have I not seen that before.

 

[sflufan]

In other words, the "demo" file is the whole game with some kind of lock to allow you to only play through a selected portion.

 

[Durante]

3.6 MB/s
Steam working much better than usual.

5 gig DEMO? Gawddamn

I wonder if it's the preview code.

It's probably easier to ship all the assets of the game rather than trying to figure out what is actually used in the demo.

 

[thetrin]

Rebooting my steam client. Hopefully that fixes the no sub error.

EDIT: Yep, fixed it. Downloading now. I'll stream as soon as it's ready to go.

 

[Tu101uk]

5.4GB huh... My bandwidth limit weeps but it'll forgive me, one day...

Finally I get to try out my most anticipated game since year (heck, since forever). I hope I won't be disappointed with it... ;_;

O-O~

 

[Sullen]

This is an excellent thing to wake up to on the morning of my first day off.

 

[Totakeke]

So are you guys that are downloading bought the game already?

 

[Jintor]

RPS is saying two missions and browsing the base.

So enjoy that ya'll

 

[whalleywhat]

So are you guys that are downloading bought the game already?

Nope.

 

[Durante]

So are you guys that are downloading bought the game already?

I haven't. I still don't know how I'll manage having the only 2 games left this year that I care about releasing on the same day.

 

[Jintor]

Since I'm planning to get a physical copy I haven't pre-ordered on steam
