Yeah, I think that this is affecting most North Americans for some reason. But I wouldn't worry about losing the game, though. If you try to add Dirt 2 to your shopping cart, Steam won't allow you to buy it for yourself. So you have it, but you just can't see it. Valve will probably fix this before the game is released on the 8th.
have you tried restarting steam?
did you get the code from a coupon with your gpu? all that been activated?

It's been released throughout Europe today 4th dec, it said released in other territories 8th dec.

search for dirt 2 on the store, what does it say for you?
Hey, I tried re-activating my code, and Steam gave me a begin downloading screen. The program then took me back to the games list, which didn't change. But, I went to the steamapps/common folder, and found a Dirt 2 folder with a bunch of the acutal game's files in it.

That is because Steam is actually downloading the game! If you monitor the Dirt 2 folder in program files, you can see that new files are being added.

Since Dirt 2 is not on your games list, you can't really stop the download when Steam is running. haha

I'm in UK, and dling, at 60% now. 300Kb/s. I'm sure my internet has been throttled... AGAIN!

Gotta hate Virgin Media.
And my steam has DiRT 2 on list. Maybe it's North american's steam problem.

EDIT: I noticed that most of people on this thread has HD 5850.

You must go to the dirt 2 folder in steamapps, and run the dirt2 application file in order to play the game.

Note: If you haven't played the demo, you will probably need to install the latest DirectX version before you can play, which is located in dirt2/redist/DirectX/DXSETUP

I get an error when I click on the application file. It says, OpenAL32.dll is missing...
Did you install the latest version of DX? I was just playing it. Wow, it looks nice. I'd recommend using a gamepad (I use a 360 controller).
Same here, not in my games list and won't start from the app folder.
How can I reinstall that which is not installed?
