Nazi scientist Dr. Vahlen is alive and working on the 'avatar project' for the aliens, she jumped at the chance to continue her horrific unethical gene research with all of ADVENT's resources, she's responsible for the Pectoids, and in the mission where you raid her base, she warns the ADVENT troopers not to use explosives because they need a live resistance member to interrogate.

If you fail a resue mission she actually kills the captured squaddie and makes lampshades from their skin. These will decorate her base when you raid it.

Has anyone who picked up from GMG got their code yet? I assume not but I guess I'm being paranoid.

There's now a countdown timer to the unlock in your region on the Steam store page.

It's a staggered release. Australia gets it at 5am on the 5th... so in 24 hours.

Did you paste the preorder DLC code or the game code? They were in the wrong order in my email and I got the resistance warrior pack anyway when I entered my game code.

It doesnt look like two keys the way it's formatted, it just looks like one big long key. Thanks for assuming we're all morons, though!

Yes, this worked! Thanks!

Really strange that it's two short, different codes but the email just lists "Xcom2" and doesn't distinguish between them other than a line break.

Um. So GMG sent me two keys. The first one worked and added XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe to my library. The second key...instacrashes steam. What am I missing, what the hell is the second key for.

Same poo poo happened to me.

Wait steam starts back up and told me I had the resistance warrior pack, aka big fat idiot with no impulse control pack. I guess it was that?

The other should be the pre-order bonus, not sure why steam freaks out whenever someone tries activating it now though.

It's no problem buddy. It is usually hard to distinguish these things when they are separated and on different lines of the email.

Both codes froze steam but give it 15-20 secs and it was right as rain again.

Neat, I do get to preload before I leave town, so I can start play as soon as I get home. :toot:

Hey, turdburglar, some of us might have gone to GMG's site and seen the key, and there it's smushed right together, thanks for playing.


Also, if it seems like it's crashing Steam to add the DLC key, just clicking WAIT FOR PROGRAM TO RESPOND worked for me, after waiting a bit for the program to respond.

Got my GMG key, pre-loading now.

GMG sends you two keys, in the wrong order it seems. The top key is DLC, steam kicks back an error "hey you need to activate the original game first"
Second key activated XCOM 2 and the warrior pack. First key seems redundant. :shrug:

Get hype.

Yeah, ended up taking like 30 seconds of Steam being greyed out and looking like it was barfing. It recovered, though.

I think this is going to take a while, even with my reasonable internet speeds it's still saying that it'll take about 8 hours.

Both the website and the email separate them on different lines to prevent people from having this confusion. No need for insults commando. See you in the 'verse!
