I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Soooooo... Enemy Unknown doesn't work anymore for me. Perhaps when Within launches it will, but I was literally on the last mission of my Classic game and wanted to wrap it up before the launch. Game tries to launch and then says it stopped working.

7.2GB patch that'll finish in 3 minutes, pretty sure you're not actually downloading all that poo poo guys.

e: woops, nevermind, jumped up to 30 minutes at 2.9MB/s.

Same, it lists Enemy Within on the DLC tab, but the game just launches to plain ol' Enemy Unknown.

I do not remember what wonderful goon made this image for one of the older X-Com threads. But here it is once more, soon to be our glorious reality.



EDIT: As ever, I had to restart steam to get it to start a download. Did it for the pre midnight 4 gig thing. Had to do it again for this 7 gig show.

Weird, I'm not getting the 7.2GB download, after restarting Steam multiple times. Perhaps it's a regional server thing.

So let's get the download history organized:

If you already had XCOM:EU installed then this should occur:

1st: 4 GB download from earlier this evening
2nd: 50 MB download of ??????
3rd: 7 GB download ?

Count me as another who's game is probably busted I don't know. It downloaded the 50mb patch is still giving me original game and won't download the 7gb for the expansion. :iiam:

7.2GB patch after the 4GB one barely finished in time. Usually I download off steam at 6MB/s but tonight its struggling to break .5MB/s. Guess this is for the best because I gotta show up on time for work tomorrow.

I was hoping to get some play in before I have to get up for work.

Also, usually restarting steam will make it realize it's supposed to update. It worked for me.

Yeah since the 50.8 meg patch I've restarted steam like ten times. It hasn't worked.

I'm going to validate files and if that doesn't work I'll reinstall like cheesetriangles.

Hmm, I guess we have to blame the Steam people for this, if getting EW installed requires a fresh install. I already had the original XCOM: EU installed on a new machine, so I just expected a DLC-type update.

I'm going to wait to take any action until tomorrow evening, see if anything new comes up (whether announced or not).

My steam decided to smoke some meth or something and rocket through the 7gb patch at 7.5mbps. I guess I'll see if it works.

Edit: It does.

Steam forum seems to think people that bought it on Steam are having it working and people that bought it on GMG are the ones getting screwed. I bought it on GMG and have it not working my friend that bought it on Steam has it working. Anyone care to chime in with their experiences?

This probably isn't the problem but I figured I'd mention it because my friend was doing it: are you people fully exiting out of steam or just minimizing it to the tray?

It sounds like the people not getting the update were the ones that bought from GMG.

I got it from steam and it worked for me, so there might be some truth to this.

I wonder if that's because it includes all the different voice packs automatically. I was under the impression you had to download it seperately.

...Man, if it's 20 gigs plus the different voice packs, this game is going to be humungous big.

I'm a GMG purchase, too. I'm going to uninstall and re-install, see what happens...

EDIT: Only getting a 9GB install and not 21GB. So perhaps the GMG key won't trigger the download until the UK release (as mentioned a few posts above mine).
