    Which Steam account did to 'redeem' the retail key? You can only install the game to that Steam Account.

    Anyway, you can't install the game until it's released on Steam.

    Also as part of the instal process (when it's been released on Steam) is to register the game with Steam. There maybe some download it needs to complete the install as well. Using the DVD-ROMs just makes the install a bit quicker - as the whole game is not downloaded.

    I have just one account ... anyway my problem is that the installation stops because it doesn't accept the key (you already purchased this product etc.)

    I will go nuts if i will have to download the the entire game because it won't let me install it from the damn DVDs .

    It will unlock later for install.

    So many threads about this now.

    What is so hard to understand about this and why are there even any topics on this?

    The game will unlock at 00:00 on the 15th

    I thought that you could expect people who use forums to be able to read

    How long have you been a member for?

    The same happened for E:TW and N:TW.

    Just wait for the "I can't get it to work" threads tomorrow.......

    For me at least.

    But then again, I can wait. I will most likely just be asleep.
