You're probably thinking of UTC, which is the actual international standard for time derived from GMT, and changes with DST.
I'm assuming the info provided here http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=239
is correct.

It was depracated as the international standard in favour of UTC 30 years ago. When people write "GMT+1" they usually mean "UTC+2".(09-08-2010, 06:28 AM)Liag Wrote: Swedish time is always GMT+1, as Britain and Sweden have the same DST dates. GMT always includes DST.

I'm decrypting the files in Steam right now.

What country are you in? I am in Poland and I cannot preload Amnesia yet. On steam store it says "This game will unlock in approximately 7 hours" - why so late?

I believe it acts according to your time.
It says 7 hours to me, too. BTW, I'm GMT +3, due to summer time.
RE: Time in which game unlocks - Yuhaney - 09-08-2010
I live in Finland.
Maybe you can trick the clock by turning it 7 hours forward?
Old trick, but it might work if you're lucky.

Seems that if you bought a game at frictional store you can enter the key to steam and download it now. But if you bought the game on steam, you have to wait. It sucks a bit.
