Hired Guns v1.07.001 Public Beta Now Available!

Look for a /Logs sub-folder in your main HG installation. If the game generated a crash log file, it would be in there.

I like Hired Guns, I like to watch TV too.

Please keep this thread to discussion of Hired Guns. I'll e-mail you to discuss Starshatter.

Registered. When I click on PRIVATE DOWNLOAD -- it doesn't lead me to the file page. It just reloads to the game lists.

But when I clicked on another game i'd registered -- it takes me to the file page.

Your problem seems to be similar to mine.

Hello Erik

Yes I did, but it doesn't help.

If you're logged into the Members Club and Registered your Game, then click on "Registered Downloads". Look in the list for Hired Guns, click on the "Downloads" link next to Hired Guns and you should see the beta update.

--> When I Click the "downloads", the same "registered downloads" -page reloads again.



Could this be browser related problem? (I have the latest[?] mozilla)

[westerhouse]

I seem to have the same problem as wee and dodger bullet. I can get to the registered downloads page and Hired Guns shows up with a downloads link, the same as my other registered games, but the link only reloads the same page. All the other registered game download links work?

[Erik Rutins]

Very odd, I'll have to ask our admin. I'm also using Firefox 3.04 and it's working fine for me, no idea what could be causing these issues.

[westerhouse]

Hey Wee it's not the browser as I have tried Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Internet Explorer.

[brak]

It's doing the exact same thing to me. I click on "Registered Downloads" to get the list of games, then click on the "Downloads" link next to Hired Guns. Then the page just reloads.

[milkweg]

I downloaded it fine using Firefox 3.04 too.

[JustSomeGuy]

I get the same thing. No love!

Man, just when I convince myself to start over when I am pretty close to winning this happens, must be a sign.

Can we please get some kind of word from Matrix as to why their web page has a broken link? Seriously, if you are going to make us jump through hoops like register the game and all, the least you could do is make sure it is downloadable after we make it through the hoops. I mean come on.

I figured the problem out, you guys have a disconnect between your registered lists somehow. I registered my game, even says I did when I try to register it again. But when I hit download I am failing the server side check to see if I registered it, even though it would be register not download if I hadn't registered it.

Honestly, it does not inspire good will when it is the very act of making us jump through hoops, hoops that almost no other company requires for a patch, that causes the patch to a very broken game to be undownloadable. I mean, it doesn't exactly inspire me to go out and buy any other Matrix games when I am given the indication that if they too are broken and I need a patch I am going to have to jump through hoops that only lead to a brick wall. See where I am coming from here? Recommend it get fixed, fast. Also recommend the bean counter who thought up the force people to register for a patch idea be told downturn in economy removed his position.

It is a freaking patch, nobody who didn't buy the game is going to want a patch for it! And for a game this troubled you should be handing patches out like beads at mardi-gras, not forcing people to jump through hoops to get it.

Just saying.

I'm having the same issue with the beta patch for another game here. Donwloaded HG beta patch fine but the beta patch for the other game never shows.

[ferguson01]

No dice here either. Same thing.
Although, I do appreciate that fact that the patch exists. nicely done! fast work!
I do wonder what happened with this game in Russia. I imagine, since this is 1.07 they went through 7 previous patches!
I have to think that 1.07 didn't include the data files, just the .exe changes.
It is inconceivable that these data bugs existed through 7 iterations.
But either way, way to go matrix support folks to clean up someone elses mess.

I am having the same issue with not being able to download the beta patch.  I click on the link and it just simply reloads the page.  It doesn't download anything.  I hope they fix this game soon.  I'm trying to wait until its playable before I put the game down and never pick it up again.  If my first impression is too bad, I'm afraid 20 patches probably wont make me play it. I've been waiting for the next Jagged Alliance for a long time, I hope its worth the wait.  It is frustrating to know there is a patch to fix this game and I cant download it, even though I paid for the game and have the sleeve with the registration number sitting right here in front of me.  

I got further along in the demo then I can get in the actual game. <sigh>

[Trifler]

I'm having the same problem as westerhouse. I clicked on Registered Downloads, found Hired Guns, and clicked on Download. All it did was reload the page as if I had clicked on Registered Downloads again.

Oh and this is with Firefox 3.0.4. I just tried it again with Internet Explorer and the same thing happened.

You couldn't be more wrong. I found out about the game's release by seeing it listed on a BitTorrent site. And that was before the downloadable version from Matrix was available. To expect the publishers to not check to see if you own a legit copy (by checking for serial numbers) when the game itself has no copy-protection is asking a bit much. Especially for a game that only costs $30 to download. People shouldn't get free support for something they didn't buy, and that's all Matrix is doing. It's also a beta patch. You should be thankful the folks at Matrix have released one so quickly. They could just as easily have decided to test the patch in-house and made you wait a couple of weeks.

You're not going to encourage folks to try to help you by making demands, recommending people be fired for doing their jobs, and generally engendering ill will.
