Thwarted by the powers of evil! Queue up the price is right fail horn.

No, seriously though... you should have brought a paddle on your trip to Shxt's Creek, I'm afraid.

Patience is how you can play it. You've been waiting months until now, two more days is nothing.

[mbitton]

thanks John. but i know there is a way.

I doubt it... Something connected with STEAM. Encryption, right? Or another method?

thanks John. but i know there is a way.

Sure...talk the STEAM officials to give you all the software and passwords to start your own STEAM Authentification server...
setup the server on a computer in your LAN,
start it up...
let Civ V connect to the Server

WIN

I honestly think it is easier to produce "no steam patch" by yourself than do what you just said...

Mxm Help!!!

Can we get rid of this guy or something? How many times do we have to read this post? It's not even just Apolyton he's spamming...

[MxM]

mbitton, to my knowledge, nothing but patience can help you. Come on, just live through Monday...

Steam controls the encryption, so you're SOL. Requesting for ways around the encryption would amount asking for help to break the law, and I'm pretty sure this site doesn't allow that sort of thing.

It's not possible to activate the game before the release date. Discussing illegal methods is not allowed at Apolyton.
