    Steam pre-load gone!

    Hey guy's

    I pre-loaded bioshock from steam with the option ( PRE-LOAD NOW,PAY WHEN READY,PLAY WHEN RELEASED) but the pre-load seems to have gone from my steam games list it was there yesterday it said (PRE-LOADED UNRELEASED) and now that the game has been released i'm just wondering if i now purchase the game will i have to download it again or will it unlock the pre-load that has simple vanished,hope this makes sense and someone can shed some light.

    Usually if you do not have the game bought after you pre-loaded and the gane is released the options disappear - I assume something is up at the moment.

    If you navigate to your steamapps folder and bioshock is there then yet it will continue from where it left out.

    Yep - it should just take off from there. And you can delete the demo folder when you are finished

    RGR. Mine disappeared as well. I purchased, and it started completing the download from 80%. Took about 15 minutes to download at 6:00pm (EST). Was up and running with the full game by 6:20.

    I really do love Steam. They learned a lot from the HL2 launch, and I have never had a problem with the system since.
