Why can't I play deluxe edition on Steam?

[split heart]

So, I bought the deluxe edition.
I've waited 8 hours for the game to download.

Then it starts telling me 'app not released'.
Yet I can see people posting screenshots of gameplay but I can't get in.

What do I need to do to get this to work??

[crude dove]

i can't even play too man

[native dawn]

where you from @split heart ?

[split heart]

Australia

[native dawn]

hold i'll check

[split heart]

A few sources I've checked said after 2PM today. It's 7:30PM now.

I feel cheated out of my money atm

[native dawn]

are you sure you bought deluxe edition?

[minor flint]

Thats you time zone bud the release is for you 4am on the 8.02

[split heart]

Yes

[split heart]

what do I do with that?

[native dawn]

try contacting support

[queen spire]

@split heart it hasn't released yet

you just need to wait for the release time

[minor flint]

here is the proof when it is 10.02.2023 then is in australia 4am already

[compact nymph]

it was said on twitter a lot.

[native dawn]

but for him it shows 11 feb for deluxe edition

That's the main issue

[compact nymph]

steam is weird. it'll go in early access today at 6pm UCT

[queen spire]

it saus that for everyone i think

[minor flint]

i must also wait to 7pm for the prerelease

[merry flame]

Omg guys calm down!!

[native dawn]

lol

can't keep calm

[merry flame]

You can download the game after today midnight and play at 19:00 cest

I downlod game at the morning...18:00 cest starting official twitch stream from avalanche and 19:00 is deluxe release

[split heart]

yes, but I purchased the deluxe edition, so I should be getting it 3 days earlier. like the 7th. which is today.
And people are playing it already.

[desert portal]

u can play the game at 5 AM in Australian time

[queen spire]

people playing it are PS5@split heart

you can play at the global pc release time

[split heart]

people are posting screenshots on steam!

[merry flame]

Only ps5 can play and famous streamers on pc

[desert portal]

10 hours left

[queen spire]

setting your pc time will xo nothing

just chill dude, its not released yet

[split heart]

that's my actual time!

[queen spire]

you need to wait till it pre releases globablly

[split heart]

I feel cheated

[queen spire]

why?

its a global pre release

[split heart]

becuase i bought the version that is supoosed to be out NOW

[merry flame]

Omg man idk what to say you

[queen spire]

do you not understand how it works?

[queen spire]

no mate

[minor flint]

i have the same issue with the deluxe that there stands its available for the 10.02.2022. I Think that is changing when the preorder release starts. in hour timezone 08.02.2022 4am

[queen spire]

you bought the version that releases on the 7th at 1pm EST

[merry flame]

No! You bought edition to unclock game 7.2 at global release time

[queen spire]

convert that time to your timezone

that is still 72 hours before official release

so no, you were not scammed

you just need to read #📢announcements

[merry flame]

Steam always show official release date

[split heart]

So why did they say that it would be available to play in Australia at 2PM on the 7th?

[queen spire]

where?

[desert portal]

Global release time 10 AM PST = 5 AM Australian time 🙂

[merry flame]

Omg I am quitting

No way here

[queen spire]

@split heart where does it say that?

[merry flame]

Start with google

[queen spire]

10am PST it says here

which is NOT 2pm australian time

[languid wind]

Does anyone of you know when you can download the game if you are from Denmark `?

[ashen crest]

10am pst is 7pm for me -.- reeeally

[minor flint]

7pm same from germany and co.

[ashen crest]

thats sad tho a friend streaming in germany plays the game already

[desert portal]

Which Edition

[queen spire]

if you bought deluxe, it is available to preload on steam. you cannot play for another 11.5 hours

[minor flint]

the playstation prerelease is out when you mean it

[queen spire]

if someone is playing, they are either on ps5 or got given early access

[languid wind]

It's just because I've had some problems

[desert portal]

can u translate ?

[queen spire]

you cant play.... for 11.5 hours... i just said @languid wind

you need to wait till the GLOBAL pre release time which is in 11.5 hours

[languid wind]

It's just because I've had some problems

[queen spire]

mate

[misty hawk]

Try to restart steam?

[queen spire]

theres no problems

[languid wind]

Ok thanks for the help

[misty hawk]

So you cant preload the game?

[queen spire]

if you bought deluxe edition, you can preload on steam right now

do people not read #📢announcements or something like it says it all there

[minor flint]

i have the same issue for the preload and resart is not a help. Try it later its possible that the Server is outtage

[split heart]

cool. So I ended up wasting my day off waiting for the game to download only for it to not even be playable.
I feel cheated.

[queen spire]

why do you feel cheated? because you cant read?

[split heart]

Anyways, now I know

[minor flint]

Thats not the game fault it is the fault from steam in many cases

[misty hawk]

I don’t have any problems. I have also read the announcement. His problem is that he can’t preload the game.

[queen spire]

then he should make his own thread? bro

[peak shuttle]

im in australia i went to pick up my PS5 version today but steam is always worldwide release at the same time so timezone doesnt matter

[split heart]

Shouldn't matter

But for some reason it does

[peak shuttle]

thats steam for ya

[queen spire]

thats how steam works

[split heart]

I'm confused as to why it still says it comes out 3 days from now despite having the deluxe version. Or is that a steam thing too

?

[peak shuttle]

are you in australia sam??

[split heart]

Yup

[queen spire]

just says that for everyone sam

[peak shuttle]

if youre in aest like me it will be playable at 5am

[queen spire]

if they say its coming at 1pm est, it will come at 1pm est

[peak shuttle]

i took this earlier

americans ruin everything..

[split heart]

true

[queen spire]

true

[peak shuttle]

it isnt our fault we are in the future and need to wait for them to catch up

[split heart]

too bad they can't get with the times

[queen spire]

🤣

[split heart]

that's so dumb though. How come they couldn't have the PC version release at the same time as the X Box and PS5?

They probably said why, but after all this I can't be bothered looking to see why

[peak shuttle]

steam never releases stuff due to individual timezones its always based on PST worldwide

[queen spire]

its because WB couldn't be bothered to pay the extra price on steam

[queen spire]

no you can, you jsut have to pay

or so ive heard 🤨

[peak shuttle]

dead by daylight dont do it either lol

[split heart]

Ah, so they're tightasses

[queen spire]

yeh what do u expect tho haha

[split heart]

better tbh

[peak shuttle]

this is coming from the same people that literally give you a disc instead of a steam code in the pc collectors edition lol gotham knights literally got a steam key in their collectors edition who even uses disc anymore

[peak tangle]

So what hour i can play ?

[queen spire]

for deluxe edition, today at 1pm EST convert it to your timezond

[peak tangle]

Thx

[peak shuttle]

apparently if you change your timezone on PS5 to australia you can play now

[queen spire]

yes

[peak shuttle]

i dont need to im already here lol

[split heart]

Oh well.
Sucks but I guess I have to wait then :/

[noble warren]

guys u need to understand that its 72h from ur timezone, if the game comes out 10th at 8pm the access ull have is 7th at 8pm simple

[peak shuttle]

the thing is its literally the 7th at 8pm NOW

but we need to wait for the americans

[slow path]

you can play now on console if u change timezone. If you are on pc you have to wait till 7PM cet 🙂

[peak shuttle]

i got the collectors edition on PS5 but im waiting for steam

[noble warren]

the game comes out for u at 11th 5am, so if u do the math its 8th at 5am

[peak shuttle]

well yeah but steam just need to release stuff to us on our actual date because we lose a day due to americans

[split heart]

So why not make that more obvious to people?
Some stuff say 'EST' and open that time at 'AEST', dumb as hell

[noble warren]

well i understand ur point of view, but it will always be unfair for some1, we have 12h difference after all, no matter what u do some1 will get the short end of the stick

[hazy thicket]

Well I'm in Sydney, Australia and it's 8:10pm, downloaded it but can't play

[split heart]

yup

gotta wait another 9-10 hours bud

[hazy thicket]

Oh- how are people already sending screenshots etc

[split heart]

streamers apparently, i was just as confused

i know, it's dumb

[noble warren]

streamers got early access some even finished the game

[wintry briar]

so steam early access isnt open right now?

[noble warren]

use the site worldtimebuddy and change the 1pm est to ur time zone

[split heart]

early access isn't as early as they said for people who don't understand timezones...

[noble warren]

thats ur early access time

[hazy thicket]

Also I have deluxe edition but it says "Coming Feb 11, 2023" on steam is it just me or..

[noble warren]

so for u EA is tomorow

use the site i told u above

[split heart]

same, jsut means we get it at 5AM tomorrow morning

It's just a dumb time for us

[wintry briar]

i see the tweet that announced its 10am pst steam

[hazy thicket]

Oh ok

[noble warren]

u guys need to understand that we will all play at the same time, we just have different timezones

[split heart]

but PS5 and X Box players got it midnight their timezones. While PC players get shafted

As someone put it earlier: WB being cheap

[noble warren]

yeah that is dumb, idk why they do that, maybe to "force" ppl to buy console version? idk

[hazy thicket]

That's odd I thought hogwarts legacy was supposed to release later on ps/xbox. That's why I got it on pc

[hollow warren]

Think it launches later on older consoles eg PS4...

[split heart]

yep

it's dumb, but that how it be i guess

[proven night]

Then how is my mate from the UK already playing?

on steam

[hollow warren]

Im in UK, on steam, cant play yet, Have pre-loaded though

[noble warren]

streamer ? idk

[tough sigil]

but we were told we'd get 72 hour early release for deluxe?

[tough sigil]

i guess that's what people here r saying

[hollow warren]

You are

[tough sigil]

oh!!! thank you :) so in the morning

[hollow warren]

Game launches at the same times on either the 7th or 10th

[slow path]

In 7.5 hours 🙂

[tough sigil]

so feb 7th, 10 am pst :)

[tough sigil]

thank you! <3

[outer hollow]

i have the same problem

[tough sigil]

so anyone who plays on pc has to wait the 7.5 hours?

[queen spire]

it is 72h early release

72h before the release is in 7.5 hours
