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.

Well, all day to start. It's not like I'll stay up late enough tonight to actually play it...

I'm not seeing it is it because my preorder was a gift?

awesome. Congrats you guys... I'm still waiting for my key... Who knew that e-mail moved so slow?

Reaper, pre-orders don't have access yet.  It's supposedly being 'granted' in 'order of pre-order' - so the earlier it was pre-ordered, the sooner you'll see it (i.e. before late pre-orders).  Presumably this is to limit the load placed on the servers - from chat, it sounds like it's actually a fast download.

Static, no extra key should be mailed if you ordered the digital version via Impulse - it will just show up for you in your games list.

I pre-ordered after the beta phase, and I am not able to download it yet either :(

Quick note:

The beta key's registered email address disappeared from my key when I checked it a few weeks ago.

When it was released today it kept saying invalid key, also with the new release key. I had to edit it and add my email to it for it to work.

(Just in case some of you guys get the same problem)

Wow... just heard from Frogboy it could take as long as 5 HOURS for all pre-orders to be processed... so anyone who ordered late, might want to go to bed :/

i preordered and nothing still - nothing on debit card even charging it yet

I also am not seeing it. I preordered very recently, perhaps half an hour ago.

Oh. Well, I'd be up for a few more hours anyway, perhaps something will happen. If not, I'll set it downloading installing while I work tomorrow.

Let's get excited,
And we just can't hide it,
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it,
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want you, want you.
