Can't wait to play your Steam copy of Civilization 5?
1\ Make sure you've preloaded Civ V, and that Steam is OFF
2\ Download this file (it's a free demo from VPN company usaip.eu)
3\ Double click the file. You will see a window like this:
4\ Choose any USA PPTP connection (I chose California), and click Connect
5\ For the username and password, use "demo" (without quotations)
6\ Once connected, run Steam and decrypt the game!
Important
The proxy isn't the fastest, be patient.
Once the game is running, the VPN isn't needed any more. This demo VPN autodisconnects after 7 minutes. Put Steam in offline mode, or alt-tab to disconnect the VPN manually.
Unfortunately, each time you want to play the game you have to connect to the VPN then run Steam, as it seems that it keeps checking your IP each time it runs. If you don't do this, you'll be greeted with the "this game is preloaded and ready to play when released" message.
Enjoy.
