Alright, this is ...........

[dgk196]

Not to 'get' in anyone's 'face'..........

This is ridiculous.........

Every update should be available for individual download at all times...........

I can't even believe that I have to 'post' this............

What could 'you' be thinking? I won't specify 'you'!

No, I'm sorry, I won't apologize, just one 'gamer' to another who has gone through this over the years, to many times............

If you are not part of the solution, they you are............

'Ban' me if you want......

I wish I can understand what you are talking about.
You tried to be too coy here? Or edited out information that would expose your pique?

You don't save the various update to your harddrive when they are available?

Always handy to do, just in case, especially since we only support the latest update.

Dennis,

If you will send me your e-mail address, I will send you a zipped 1.02 and 1.02b.
I think all you need to do is ask nicely, and you will find solutions to your JTCS problems on this forum.

Regards,

[timshin42]

Finding JTCS v1.02 much too large to send as an e-mail attachment, I finally remembered that I had downloaded it from GAMESPOT.

GAMESPOT - PC - STRATEGY - JOHNTILLERSCAMPAIGNSERIES

There are a few sites holding past updates to the game... can't find them here? use google!

[countblue]

dgk if you cant get the update contact me by PM.
I might have a way of getting it to you.

I think you should have my emailadresse from the PBEM we played some time ago.

Though poorly worded, he does have a point.  All the other Matrix games have the past patches for download, not just the latest.... unless the patch is comprehensive then it may not matter, though some folks do like to play with specific versions.

I keep backups of all the main game installs but do not always have all the patches. This can be problemtic when installing after an O/S reinstall or such. Is there a reason the patches are not maintained for download?

The last two UPDATEs will be 220MB each?

Are they comprehensive then? If not, now I know I should save them all, which is not a problem, I just did not know. I am about 20 Matrix games and the patches are always there. I am not trying to antagonize - merely asking.

Are they comprehensive then?

Yes, of course they are.

The latest includes them all.

Ah, okay then. It seems the original poster has no viable complaint. Thanks Jason!

[marcbarker]

I think the point was the fact that he could choose which update he wanted to install...It is good that the latest has all the bells and whistles, but sometimes it is just makes sense to have the patches available for the user who wishes not to do the all in one install. Just a thought
Thanks

Actually it might be a good idea to separate the new graphics and other space hungry files from the actual fixes, then those with slow connection could choose to use all the benefits of the 1.04 patch just without the graphical improvements. I think there are some Matrix games (cannot remember the specific title though) that require installing a few patches, not just the last comprehensive one.

The 83 MB video tutorial should definitely be optional....[:-]

Yes, all I was refering to was the fact that all of the upgrades for a game should be available at the 'game' site!

Even after all these years, I made the inexcusable mistake of not making a backup! Go ahead laugh it up, I deserve it!! My only excuse was that I got so caught-up in the pronouncements and claims of the 'new' update that I let it 'blind' me to the real-world!

Everyone makes mistakes, you all can form a line behind me if you like, I think 1.03 proves that!! So, no excuses! But all of the iterations of the various updates should be available on the site, at all times. Not just for those who want to 'revert' to a previous version, but for those who also may be conducting comparative tests, or are new (just got it in the mail) types! After all, not all ideas start with the 'powers that be'!

By the way, thank all of you for the links to the 1.02 sites. Oh, and 'countblue', since my last '@sskicking' we should try another game! I'll pm you, okay? "RR", sorry!?

For simplicity sake (K.I.S.S.), only the latest UPDATE will be available here.

Additionally, only the latest UPDATE will be supported.

A number of links have been posted where you can find the other updates using google.

Dennis,

It's cool! I honestly did not know what direction you were headed. [:)]

I agree with you. And, I do not care if the old patches are supported. They should be available for those who do not want the "latest" upgrade.
It surely would be more customer friendly? [;)]

Plus, I agree with Juggalo, and would like to add, that all large files that are not integral parts of "playing the game" should be an optional download.

[marcbarker]

hmmmm...interesting,,,could you Jason possible have a links page to where all these downloads are? or is that maybe out of scope to the latest and greates...besides on latest patch being supported....i still did not get support even some from previous issues on vista. but that is neother here nor there...It would go along way for customers to have available these downloads from one site instead having to bounce every where for them. Also if you purchased a JTCS ussed from another party and they regisitered it can the registration transfer or are you stuck in the 1.00 world?

The "Search" tool is your friend.
