Update: Due to receiving conflicting information, I will not be posting the new activation update until I have accurate information.

Hey #TeamShadow,

 

Welcome to this week’s activation update!  

 

🥖 Tu es francophone ? Consulte la partie “PARIS” pour obtenir des infos sur les activations. ⚠ Les commentaires se font uniquement en anglais.

This week’s activations are rolling along at a steady pace across all datacenters. We do not have activations scheduled in the CH or TX datacenters this week due to high peak usage.

 

Thank you for your patience as you wait for your Shadow! While you wait for activation, we hope you take a moment to browse the forum to see what else the community is buzzing about. A good place to start is always with introducing yourself to #TeamShadow :)

Hi, I ordered from Chicago servers January 11,2021. It says activation date is January 21, 2021. Is this still gonna be activated on this date or will there be given another date of expectation?

so have i, im hoping we wont have to wait until next week and we will get it on the 21st like what was promised.

Please hire more people. I ordered my shadow nearly 3 months ago and I was really hyped to get my shadow pc this week. Unfortunately no activations this week for amsterdam servers:rolling_eyes:

yeah, same, I’m also waiting on Amsterdam activation...

Arhhh so I have to wait till August...that's kind off long might aswell give me the tools I'll go Paris and do it.

Of course Amsterdam has “no activations this week”. Cyberpunk 2077 again? Okay then. A real honest question: If you keep delaying new shadows because of “peak usage” in specific data centers (mine included)… won’t this affect my own shadow, when it’s finally activated?

I ordered the same day and I’m in Minnesota so Chicago servers as well and I am too was curious. However, I’ve been watching the servers and the Chicago one hasn’t changed since I ordered. Just know, you’re not alone. Bought a Ras Pi and just finished it up this morning just for Shadow. 

im always somewhere but never ever there

Ordered Shadow than ordered a Raspberry Pi and just finished it up today, Activation scheduled for tomorrow. Super bummed to see “no activations” this week. As well as the Chicago servers still degraded performance. 

I also tried Luna, Stadia and GeForce ONE but this one is the one that I am MOST excited for. Like the love that I just can’t seem to ever have… Tragic.

I ordered January 5th, and it said available on the 21st. But doesn’t look like they are doing any activations this week in the Chicago Datacenter.

honestly think its bullshit that they have specific dates almost s if they are promising that we will get it that day but then they are just like “lol, yeah no. wait an extra month.”.

I would like to think it's because of Covid that they are delayed. Or maybe they need more employees/data centers. I'm not gonna give up yet. Thankfully the first month of billing doesn't start until after activation.

still really disappointing though

@DsVoid As mentioned above, I do not have any information for specific Shadow activations.   However, from the information I have, you should receive your Shadow before the end of January.

Why can't you guys just like simply activate some accounts so you guys dont get alot of bad reviews just for not helping us with the activation time quicker because it will make things so much easier for you and to the public and yes I know you're low on staff but that doesn't change the fact that people expect it to be at least when is said to be done so please get to it thank you

@Sid Thanks for reaching out.  I do not have information about specific Shadow activations but from the information I have, you should receive your Shadow by the end of January 2021.

What about Utah????

Not a question asking for my activation to be expedited but just one to hopefully help clear up some confusion!

I’m a UK based customer, and on “My Account” page it details the below:

Ordered on

16 January 2021

Available on

August 30, 2021

 

And on the first page it says activations this week are until August 30 for UK customers..

 

Does this mean that I’m likely to get activated this week or does it mean I’ll need to wait until end of August? I’m happy with either but just want to know where I stand to manage expectations!

 

Thanks!

according to the article i shhould have gotten mine i pre ordered on the 7th and yet nothing. its already the end of the month now. but texas keeps getting no activations im confused why have those time frames if they arent being followed

H

Ordered during October and should have gotten activated end of January. (Amsterdam)

Now i received an email tellibg me that my activation has been pushed back to end of February.

 

Shadow vould atleast give us a free month now for the extra wait, but of course, nothing.

This is ridiculous and i will just refund now.

I ordered on 16th Oktober 2020 and I just recieved a mail in which they say that the activation will be end of februar 2021 instead of end of january. What the hell? 

 

Because of Cyberpunk? Are you freakin kidding me?

I waited so damn long
