Re: B1774.7z Download issue

No, but consider this issue resolved. About 20 minutes after the download was complete, the download showed up as a zip file (as usual) in my File Manager, and it extracted fine, so not sure what that delay was all about.

[RESOLVED] B1774.7z Download issue

I've tried to download the new Build 1774.7 but it won't complete the download. I get all 186MB downloaded, showing 0MB left to download, but I never get the "open" prompt and the file is shown as an "Unconfirmed XXXX.crdownload" in my File Manager. I've disabled my Norton's antivirus, so looking ...

Re: Fail Safe Scenario 1: Wrong aircraft

And speaking of the Thuds, it seems their only usefulness is bombing the Russian radar posts along the border, none of which seem to contribute to the battle or even reach the scene of the battle. I can’t figure out how to get the F105s into the fight at sea or on the islands.

Re: Failsafe not being recognized.


Hi,
another stupid question. Just purchased and installed Failsafe. When I try to start a scenario it tells me I need to obtain a license. I have one and have the email with serial number. What do I do to have it recognize my purchase or give it the serial number

Re: Download Not Available message

Thanks, I was able to get it through the "Check for Updates" link on the opening launch page of the game. It directs you back to the download page from which I was able to grab it from among all the prior downloads.

So, I have purchased the new Fail Safe DLC, and it shows up on "My Page" as one of my games, including the serial number for the DLC, but when I go to download it from the "file downloads" (hitting the North America button), I get a message that says "download not available." What gives?

Re: [FIXED] Build 1527: ASW Aircraft not engaging surfaced submarines?

I ran into a similar issue with Dutch Convoy in the North Atlantic, 1963. I detected a submarine at 0 feet but could not attack it as none of my weapons (torpedoes) were suitable. I sank it when it dived. But there is at least one other sub present but invisible in the middle of the convoy that is ...

Re: Return of Shakturi failure to launch

Ok, I have uninstalled my DW2, cleaned out all of the old files/folders that did not disappear during the uninstall, and reinstalled v1.0.6.4 and then installed the new v1.2.7.7 update that came out a couple of days ago. Both installed successfully.

When I run the game, the opening screen says I am ...

Re: Return of Shakturi failure to launch

I will give that a try, thank you. A couple of other questions for you:

1. Is it possible to preserve my "saved game" library somehow through the uninstall/reinstall process? I've got a winning hand going in a v1.1.4.4 game and would hate to forfeit it. :cry:

2. I noticed in your post that your ...

Thanks. Here is the order of things as best I can recall:

2. I downloaded [PC]LegacyUpdate v1.1.4.4, dated 8/22/23 using the US Location button. The zip file that downloaded to my computer is named DistantWorlds2 ...

Re: Return of Shakturi failure to launch

All of my purchases and downloads have been through Matrix, not Stream or GOG (not sure what that even is). I'm trying to run v 1.2.6.7. the new Return of the Shakturi DLC. Prior to installing v 1.2.6.7 I had downloaded and installed v 1.4.4.4 on the original v 1.0.6.4. that I installed when DW 2 ...

Just downloaded and installed Return of the Shakturi, activated the DLC, and everything is fine except when I launch the game, I get to the screen where you choose "Play" which I click on, but nothing happens. The spinning circle spins for a few seconds, then disappears. DW2 with update 1.1.4.4 ...

Just downloaded RC3 and opened it up and ran it for a few seconds. All of the aircraft are airborne and none of the bases, including the carriers, have aircraft on them. Followed the usual procedures for downloading Community scenarios, so am scratching my head.

Re: Hang up at "Loading, please wait. . . "

Whether it was the coming eclipse or the NJ earthquake, uninstalling and reinstalling the game and all the DLC resolved the hang-up issue even after installing the latest DB images, so they were not likely the culprit. Thanks again for the feedback.
