download and exec
« on: March 11, 2004, 01:57:55 am »
I have downloaded 3 times. The first was interrupted by a server reset. 2nd and 3rd times went and now no file to be found. This would not let my download manager download the game. Do a search and no exec. in there.  Just the webpages visited. What gives?  I get errors of Ip and Url not being found ect.

Unfortunaltely I have run into similar game set up probs with other betas. I would think that would be the first area to be tackled in a game, with a proper install its all a mute point and waste of time if no one can get on to play. And we shouldnt be program wiz\'s to rewrite code just to be able to get in. We arent getting paid to fix the game.

Do not use a download manager as they will easily corrupt larger files. Also make sure you don\'t have a firewall enabled.

I think that\'s up to the devs to decide, don\'t you? This is, after all, a Technical Demonstration release, not a game.

Neither are the developers.

You don\'t download an .exe file, you download five parts and then run run_me_first.bat - this creates the exe.

> waste of time if no one can get on to play

I saw many peple in game so it seems that at least someone made it ;-)
