Assassin´s Creed IV: Black Flag Message Board  

Just a note to those wondering. I used flyvpn to be able to play the game 3 days early. I'm in the UK, so release date is the 22nd. It released in the US today just under 4 hours ago and I'm nearly done downloading it all. I've done this with other games on steam, and thought I'd share it with those who don't already know how to

Go to the flyvpn free trial website.

download and install.

Exit steam.

Load up flyvpn and log in with a free trail access

Select a US server to connect to and connect

Open steam

Begin downloading

It will be slow 1-2mb/s max

Now Flyvpn with disconnect after 20 mins

don't touch steam, just leave it downloading and the speed should revert to your normal speed. I'm sure you can disconnect Flyvpn after a couple of mins, but I just left mine to see what happened when flyvpn disconnected and just left it alone.

Anyway, hope this helps some people

21 november if it's in 22 in UK you are really unlucky.

Yep it is ..... but as I've said, there's a way around would go crazy otherwise

And we're ready to play and loading up.....

Can we play windowed to take advantage of Dual screen set ups on this Ass Creed game I wonder......

Almost there

Ubisoft loaded....

Game up and running and second screen still showing and playing my film.

A very happy little camper

Until they go hey wait a minute. Then suspend your account for investagations. Like it would ever happen tho.

It has happened in the past. People who bought cheap Russian versions and used a VPN to activate a game key onto their steam account have had the game banned on their accounts.

Be very very careful.
