Question - can I have ETW install do a different folder than the steamapps one? I had really taken a liking to having a "Total War" folder with all the TW games in one spot. Plus, it'd be easier to get to for modding...

No, you can only do that if you buy the real CD version. You would then import the game to steam from its location.
You can move the whole steam folder to another drive/ install steam on another drive if you
don't have enough space on C:/.

Question: You get to select a nickname and you have to give an email address. When playing the demo the email is displayed as player name. Shouldn't that be the nick displayed? Am I doing sth wrong?

If you entered your info right, that probably is just a quirk of the demo.

Nevermind , found the settings for that in steam.
I had entered the details right, though.

Nevermind, problem solved.

Does anyone know if pre-loading will start by itself when the time comes, or do you have to click a button?

You have to start it the same way you started the demo download.

Cheers pal, tried that first. Didn't want to play, I've had a look and Steam stamps itself all over the registry. If both machines were XP I would use installrite but they aint.

Had a look at Amazon and there is nothing about this.

I know I am in a fairly small minority but this seems pretty bad. The TW games have never been heavily Internetty these seems pretty bad.

I'll shut up now. Good luck.

Pre-loading almost never starts automatically unless you specifically set it up that way.

So i'd say your best bet is tonite just pop on at the approriate time (4pm EST) and find out.

So to clarify the only people you will probably hear from on the 3rd and 4th (assuming it does not get pre released early by a store like walmart or kmart) will be from people who preloaded it on steam. Who can start downloading 48 hours before release date. (aka today)
