I think you'll find you can install & patch, but then the game won't authenticate until Steam goes live.... ^^

my first impresion Game looks bloody great on max settings but as others posted FPS drops and pauses are very frequent inland.I have G940 FFB stick and as we know FFB is not supported but the centering force is very strong even with centering spring disabled and FFB strength all the way down.That might be something with Logitech software not sure atm.Fired up Track IR with my ROF profile and It doesn't agree with IL-2 atall.That might be because of the pauses in game due to FPS drop

Just out of bed here 0705. Logging on to Steam now.

Edit - Nah... nothing happening with the Steam pre-purchase yet. Back to trawling the forums in anticipation.

Started it again via steam, and this time steam had a popup stating "here is your product key for activation" and then immediately after I clicked OK this was displayed:

Well that's the last we'll see of Squogg for a while then.

Bloody Steam - Let me see if I have this right. In Australia right at this moment, if you purchased the physical disk at EB games Steam will let you activate and play, but, if you pre-purchased on Steam itself, then it won't let you DL or activate. That makes sense... not.

Set everything as high as it could go and it was *almost* playable. I reckon ~20fps.

Have to go to work now. FML.

WTF is it with Steam?

I have the disc, why is it trying to download the whole game?

Where did you guys get your boxes from? I've got a pre order with EB Games but haven't checked whether it might be in early. Please tell me that you got it from EB! smile
