Each class has one male and one female companion that is romancable... So without same-sex romances (not in game, maybe planned far far away) you still have the option for some lovin'

There is a massive locked due to size and continued in another thread in the Customer Service forums about the 'high resolution' skins not being used... Do you notice the same shoddy quality in cut-scenes?

Hmm, ignoring the rest of the dxdiag I went straight to the gfx card section. It's very underpowered for the game. The your 2400 Pro scores a 'passmark benchmark' score of 133 The Minimum Spec X1800 passes with a score of around 700 A HD 4770 scores 1264 and a GTX580 scores close to 4000 So even if the other parts of your computer are fantastic, you will need something 5x more capiable to even consider playing on low/medium settings.

I'd say the 540M is towards the bottom of the pile for cards that may have a chance of running smoothly. Coupled with the other under-powered-because-it-is-a-laptop components, you may still struggle on Medium. A link to a GPU benchmark site, so you can see how things weigh up in the grand scheme of things. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

Game time starts from the 20th

The Pre-Order code that you got with the original purchase email should be applied to your account, and you can see this by clicking on the 'Code Redemption' tab in your account. This will have entered you into the Early Game Access queue (which I would think you now have access to) and also give you an in game colour changing stone. Your subscription code (aka retail game code) is going to be emailed out from today, and this will activate your account to say you can play from the 20th when the game is offically launched. After this is applied you should be able to set up a subscription, although 30 days of playing is included anyway. If you have ordered the DDE this second code will also apply the fancy in game items that you get too.

open the game, log in, play, come back here and laugh at all those who are still waiting.

Automated System, Codes Registered Dec 1st will get game access when it gets to Dec 1st... I think somewhere Lare Aug is the current marker. At least you will get in sooner than me, I'm on a Dec 6th CE here

I think that will be a call to CS to ask, but would probably wait until after the launch busy period has died down, unless you want to wait for 3 hours on hold.

Most of the Major resellers in the UK (and Europe?) are planning to ship for launch day. Those that have paid a deposit for a reserved copy from Gamestation (and Game?) can collect from the store from the 15th

When did you register your codes? By the rate of issue from the last few days, I'd expect Sep-Mid Oct tomorrow Mid Oct - Late Nov Friday. December Sat. (This is all guesswork and could be +/- 5 days for any of the above... but let us know when your pre-order codes were applied and someone may be able to help)

In a lot of cases changing your video mode to 'Windowed - Full Screen' or similar here if there is one. Some GFX Cards don't like working hard on rendering stuff, to have to flick out to windows.

I would say your game login email address that your pre-order key is attached to.

You will be fine. You already have a Pre-Order code applied against your account, so the new Digi one won't work. However come the 16th you will get an email from Origin with your 'Product Code' in it. This is the same style code that you would have got in your CE box. Just enter that against your account and you will get all the goodies that come with it, instead of all the goodies that would have come with the CE Gutted for the loss of your wallet tho

If you are in the EU then yes, most of the major game shops are allowing people who have pre-ordered with a deposit to collect from tomorrow (in time for the early access start) If USA based then no, it says that you cannot collect before the 20th.
