So steam won't give me the CD key, how do I get it to get my awesome pre-order icon?

[Gemberkoekje]

I dont even get my icon for CK2 or HOI3. Why?!

You may need to insert your cd-key into the forums (again)

Or they might be hidden. Dunno.

Of course I registered my keys on the forums... I dont know why I dont get the icons.

they are probably hidden, they changed how the icons work a month or two ago, go to the registering section and there should be a list of hidden and shown icons, you should be able to choose which ones to show (or all if you want)

AHA! Thanks mate, thats it.

Oh so I wasn't even supposed to get my awesome pre-order compass yet? Ah well, when life hands you a cup of sugar, it would be wrong to complain

The pre-order icon is pretty awesome I must say!

To clear up any misunderstandings (again again again again...)

1. Nobody was intended to receive their Steam keys yet - Some did and that is why they have the pre-order icon early.

2. Everyone who pre-ordered through Steam or any of the other pre-order sales places will receive their key at- or shortly before the official release, and all of those keys will be pre-order keys, complete with icons, DLC and what have you.

Thanks. I bought the Extreme Edition through the new Paradox store, received this e-mail:

Once installed, open and login to the Steam Application. In the bottom left hand corner of the program you will see "ADD A GAME"
Click "ADD A GAME" and then "Activate a product on Steam"
Follow the on screen instructions and enter the code provided in this email when prompted.

So I guess the e-mail was badly worded, as there was no code provided in the e-mail! I suppose I will receive an additional e-mail the 8th of August, or I will have to log in at https://www.findmyorder.com to get the Steam code.
