First: can't get on same server as friends in pre-select.
Second: insane queues during pre-launch head start.
Third: game wants to reinstall, but default location can't install on launch day!
Whoo hoo! Trifecta!
But seriously, I tried to play today (tues) and it said the game wasn't installed. I then clicked install, but it came back with an error about not being allowed to write to that location.
I tried again and noticed the default location was different from where Steam installed the game when I got it. I changed the install location to where it was actually installed and it seems to be working. It is having trouble launching still, but at least it recognizes that I have the game installed.
/update
Well, nevermind. It goes through the launching progress bar, then nothing happens.
I haven't found this problem on the boards, twitter, knowledge base, etc.
/update 2
I'm trying the validate option in the launcher and it is taking a while. Hopefully it is fixing something...yep, now it is downloading files.
/update 3
That didn't take too long and now it is finally launching.
/drama off
Lessons learned:
1) Make sure it is pointing at the correct directory.
2) Validate in the launcher (right click on the game in the list).
Hopefully this helps if other folks run into trouble.
