Why are YOU not playing yet?

and also why I am not playing yet

from GalCiv2 Forums
I thought I'd have time till 21.00 now it's 19.50, and the game is fully installed. however, I have a beef on the oven (1000kg!).
So I need to water that now and then, if I play galciv, i am surely distracted enough to forget it and burn the roast!

Why can't you play yet?

Because I'm downloading the game at about 1kbps, and that's when it's even downloading. It's spending a lot of time trying to connect. I figure I'll be playing some time next week at this rate.

EDIT: I'm getting downloads ranging from 0 to 100+ kbps to 50 bps. What is going on here? And now I just timed out...

EDIT: Oh god! At 26 bps the download is going to take 1.4 years...

Because right now it's more fun to watch people act shocked SHOCKED that downloads are slow at the absolute peak moment.

I'm glad I preloaded. If I'd waited until today to buy the game I'd get it at a store.

....so....why is there no sound?
I have been unable to download that file even during the preload. And I uninstalled my beta first.

Oh yeah, looks like it's trying to use 8.3. That explains it.

I'm not playing until I finish reading about the biggest problems first. And the solutions.

RTFM! I don't mind learning from my mistakes, but I would much rather learn from *yours*

Work. Stupid work.

Although I did get in a game and a half (yes, very easy ones) before I had to come here...

Pre-ordered from EB. So far I have managed to resist checking my email to see if they've shipped it out yet.
