CE Bonus Soundtrack and Artwork etc

Post by sndwv » Sun, 17. Nov 13, 16:20

Just to be sure:

I activated the UK CE on Steam using the key from the back of the manual, but this activated the digital 'regular edition'.

Is this normal or am I missing something? Should I have received the digital bonus content as well?

Have you looked in the Bonus folder in the Steam gamefiles folder?

Yes, it holds the encyclopedia and vol.1 soundtrack, but not vol.2, artworks or per musica ad albion. These are also listed as 'view in store' in-game.

Can't remember the exact text, but after activation Steam listed the product as 'X Rebirth (box)' or 'retail' or similar.

Reading some other posts, the CE version needs those to be requested for download in 'Extras' or something similar. Beware, some are big downloads.
Try right click on X Rebirth in your Steam Library, select DLC, and then 'view available DLC'.

Thanks for your reply.

Unless I am overlooking something, I do not have these options listed. The DLC tab only shows the ones that have already downloaded.

The collector's edition upgrade is also 'purchasable' for me in the Steam store, so it seems to me I have the regular edition. Question is if this is how it's supposed to be with a boxed CE key.

Yes, the boxed CE and the Steam CE do not correlate. The bonus material you get with the boxed CE is the physical stuff you get in the box, not the digital stuff you get with the Steam CE.

Ok, thanks for confirming. I'll throw an extra EUR 15 at Egosoft then for the upgrade and to show support (and also the fact that I do not have a blu-ray player ;)).

Btw: also sent support an e-mail when I started this thread, feel free to ignore that.

Look in C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\X Rebirth\Bonus Content

They're all in there.

@Alan
i Don't see the connection inbetween the regular pre-order+alexei zakharov soundtracks and your link

I don't have Bonus folder in the rebirth installation folder
I don't have downloadable content in Steam/Rebirth/rightlick/downloadable content
I did not pre order to get mp3 but commercials was full with such promisses!

How do I cancel the bonus content download??

Post by Arrowhead » Mon, 18. Nov 13, 04:30

I sort of accidently clicked on that space opera video bonus that wasn't installed, and it's a whopping 4.5gbs!!! I exited and now I can't boot the game back up until the download is finished. WTF, seriously, I haven't got time for this tonight. How do I stop it and load the game??

some users can explain me how to activate the space opera. I see it in properties/dlc as "non installed", but I can't install.

Can not try as I'm currently not near my computer, but can't you install/download it from the in-game menu, under 'bonus content'?

Steam's X Rebirth CE (X The Space Opera - Per Musica ad Albion) how to download?

Post by Xanix » Tue, 19. Nov 13, 21:28

Hello to all. Today, I've received my boxed X Rebirth CE, UK Edition.
I've activated the game and upgraded the version on Steam, to the CE one.
It has download the extras, except, the "Space Opera"...

How do I make "Steam" download, the "X The Space Opera - Per Musica ad Albion"?


Best regards,
Xanix

How do you get the soundtrack vol. 2 recognized in the game from CD?
Whenever I open the CD, it's just files of 1 KB.

Hi,

When you're in the main menu under "Bonus Content" you can select to install. Which will start download when closing the game.

At least it did so for me

Hey, thanks for the answer, but it just says "View in store". Did you buy the boxed version as well?

If you have the *boxed* collector's edition, like I do, unfortunately the included key does not correspond to a *digital* collector's edition; your bonus content was already delivered to you in physical form. This info directly from Egosoft.

I spent the extra money for the digital collector's edition upgrade on Steam as well, and this activated all the bonus content in the game menu.

Download CE Video?

Post by StormMagi » Thu, 21. Nov 13, 09:42

I upgraded to the CE for the music and the video but steam won't download the video and I don't see any way to force it. Am I missing something?
