Question's in the title.

Got it just now but can't install it :/

Same here.

Yup. But GOG is blocking kickstarter backers from gaining access to their copies as if they were preordered through normal terms even though Playtonic openly distributed these copies before release so we can play them NOW. Highly upset with how GOG is actually blocking the legitimate copies that backers have been distributed til release date.

Hi there!

Just in case anyone is feeling as frustrated as I was:

I checked the Playtonic Twitter, and all the Kickstarter codes, on all platforms, are allowing pre-loading, but not playing - that's reserved for launch day, which is next Tuesday. So no-one's playing, it's not just us. The reason I guess we can't preload (the way the others can) is that GOG, as a DRM-free platform, wouldn't have any way to stop us from playing the game. Since that's what Playtonic intends for all platforms including ours, no pre-downloads on GOG.

So we'll be downloading on Tuesday to play on the same day ;)

As it happens, I suspect we wouldn't really want to play in advance of Tuesday, particularly on PC, as there's a pretty substantial Day 1 patch which apparently improves not just performance, but also the camera behaviour quite a few early reviews have complained about.

Hope that helps allay any 'Am I supposed to be able to play this' / 'Argh, my download's borken-de-borken'-type anxieties, such as the ones I was feeling about half an hour ago!

See you on Tuesday, and I hope you enjoy this game we've all been waiting for, when you finally get your hands on it!

All the best,

Rab.

They could release the game minus a few critical (but small) files, then release those as an update on launch day. :)
