Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 is out now

Post by AlbertoC »

Starting in 1941, Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2 covers one of the most brutal conflicts in human history. This bitter fight to the end between the Third Reich and the Soviet Union, is lovingly modelled and detailed from the highest strategic overview to the smallest logistical decision. GGWiiE2 is a complete overhaul of the first game. It is richer, more historical, more encompassing and is the most accurate representation of this conflict ever conceived.

Interface improvements, including new art and re-organized screens allow you to discover and access the games rich strategic layer more easily. 

Flexible movement, road and rail modelling allows unparalleled realism in how units flow towards or from the frontlines in the conflict. Details such as road quality, the quality of your transport, the weather, the condition of the men and much more determines if those critical supplies will arrive on time.

Discover the history underpinning each and every unit and weapon that was used and how it fits into the grand scheme of the overall conflict, in the games built-in encyclopaedia. Armed with your new knowledge, devise new ways of putting those units and weapons into action on the biggest strategic map yet.

It is not just the game itself that has been dramatically improved. The game comes with an exceptional tutorial and 520-page comprehensive manual, to help new players understand the depth and complexity that underpins how real war is fought and won. The A.I. has also been improved, so veterans of the first game will also relish new challenges in an expansive campaign that covers everything from Barbarossa to the fall of Berlin.

Extraction Error..?

Sounds like either your download was corrupted or your anti-virus/security software may be interfering. I'd suggest a re-download to a fresh file as that will most likely resolve this for you.

Oh wow! But yes, download rates are terrible... I tried all the datacenters from the download pages with no difference (even with the one that showed 0 current load). I'm in Europe.

download rate depends on your speed and how many have or are downloading, on day one hour one, that's going to max out most systems put in place

Yeah, I imagine D-Day H-Hour is the worst. For what's that worth my link isn't an issue (300Mbps).

i also have the same VM speed, but depending on where i use it, also depends on how quick it comes, steam with the larger network can sometimes be the quickest apart from M/S servers, then next time joeblogs down the road with a one man band setup with me being the only one on it[X(][8|][:D][;)]

What is the exact file name you see for what you downloaded? What format does Windows think it is?

The only other similar report is from a customer with Firefox where the browser somehow download it as a PDF. In that case, redownloading from the Members Area / My Page resolved it. This may also help:
