Elemental: Updating to the Release Version!

from JoeUser Forums

image

The official release date of Elemental is August 24th. However, some retailers have broken the street date and to make sure that those who helped us in the beta as well as those who pre-ordered it don’t miss out, we are going to release a pre-day 0 version of Elemental tonight.

This version is beyond the digital gold version that reviewers currently have but it is not quite the day 0 version either.  There’s been a lot of polish, tweaks, and other improvements to the game in this version.

If you did happen to get Elemental early from retail, you will want to load up Impulse (which was installed) and update to the latest version.

This version should go live in approximately 90 minutes.

So how's this going to work?  I've pre-ordered but wasn't in the beta, am I going to get an e-mail with my product code, or will the game just appear as available in Impulse?

Until you get e-mailed your serial number I don't think it'll show up on your impulse either, but I can't really recall exactly back when I pre-ordered.

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

PLUS

 

I have two impulse accounts AND I pre-ordered one copy through GameStop and the other copy from Stardock.

But I'm not sure which account I use to pre-order from Stardock.

As above. I pre-ordered a month ago and have yet to get my code. Anyone want to update when they start downloading?

C'mon! This must be a joke or they enjoy getting us all hyped up and then watching us suffer.

i pre ordered at game stop.......is there any way thats good for the download tonight?

No, as the serial key is in your box you'll need it in hand in order to download.

I am guessing it will drop at 10pm (EST) on the nose? Anyone else?

 

edit: so much for me reading earlier posts....

I pre-ordered, but my gaming computer does not have access to the Internet. I will have to download the game from work and transfer it to my home. Can I still take advantage of this early release?
