First timer for Paradox Release - Release Questions

[Mordaith]

So, While I have some Paradox games under my belt, I've never been active in the community or chomping at the bit at the release of a new title. I really don't know what to expect. I ordered through Steam.

Are the release with Steam and the Paradox store the same?

Do they do released all at once, or staggered though TZ?

Historically when is the game unleashed upon the unwashed masses?

I maybe trying to plan my may 8th and 9th and how much sleep I will need, and when to get it.

Any advice from a Paradox Release Vet? (or maybe a staffer who wants to drop some truth?)

Yes, but if you order in paradox store, paradox get's more money.

All at once

Already anounced around afternoon/evening CEST

 

[Ziffallo]

Interested as well.

Yeah, I regret not having bought it through the Paradox store. I had gotten GC for Stellaris via steam for Christmas. I will in future put all monies towards Paradox store.

Afternoon Cest. May 9th? That... is exciting for me.

So if it's releasing in the afternoon based on CEST, does that mean those of us on PDT get it in the morning?

Is PDT the US time? then yes.

- It will be released sometime during the afternoon/evening CEST on the 9th (early morning in the US, late evening in Asia/Oceania).

So it'll be early Tuesday morning here in Oz. Assume "evening" release - better to expect some delays, and then you have to download it. Hopefully by the time I get home from work it'll be patched a bit

I've taken the following week as leave, so I'll hit it pretty hard then...

Awwwww yeah. Two whole days of uninterrupted Stellaris. Only a power outage could stop me now.

*"Dies the Fire" happens*

[Mordaith]

I swear every time I get excited for a game release something happens. Power out. Trip to the Hospital. "Dangerous Threatening Flood Waters" Ugggh...

Just make sure to keep your personal problems personal, Mordaith, and we won't have any problems. Don't make me fly over there. >=(

Related noob release question... does anyone know if Steam or Paradox will allow pre-downloading before May 9th, with May 9th activation?

I've recently been waking up from nightmares of us all getting 50 Kbps download speeds. :-/

P.S. I volunteer to help test pre-release downloading at NO charge to Paradox OR Steam!

They said no pre-downloads.

I've got fairly good internet, but even so I'm just a touch concerned about the download speeds on release day. Everyone trying to download it at once and all that.

Steam can handle much larger launches for much larger games. Don't expect too many issues.

There are no larger games than this. ^^
