Hm - ok, sounds like we missed a file then. I'll check this tomorrow morning and make sure it's fixed in the official release. I'll post it up in the Members Club as well at that point as a separate file.

You mean *after* I printed out the one with the backgrounds? [:(]. Oh well, it's just paper and some (no doubt toxic) toner.

I'll schedule my guy to apply the patch and give her one more try (removing all older versions of the game on all three operating systems)....SHOULD I WAIT FOR THE GENERAL RELEASE OR USE THE "SUPER SECRET DOUBLE PROBATION PLAN" ABOVE ("WHATEVER THAT IS")? Members Club......WTF?
Just a reminder Jason: you promised to advise me personally when this thing worked... I've been playing the older version...waiting (not altogether patiently) for 1.03. Off to the Ostheer with you!
All jest aside...I really hope this works because it's gonna cost me.
Really..should I wait for the public release....?

OR USE THE "SUPER SECRET DOUBLE PROBATION PLAN" ABOVE ("WHATEVER THAT IS")? Members Club......WTF?

you never cease to amaze.  One wonders why Jason and Matrix persevere so much with helpful comments such as this, that only require reading of official announcements to be comprehended - by normal people of course.

No need to respond, you're plonked, thank goodness.

I can't wait to be off this site. Waiting this long? Please. I've tried humor, but alas.
Matrix released a flawed game and used the public to play test it and I'm plonked?
They lost a customer. That's what counts, not a select group. It better be playable or they can refund the money.
The kid who mentioned Starship Trooper got flayed. That game out sold any version of this game a thousand times. Since it came in the box.
Chris.Foff. You're a big fish in a little pond.

And on a different note, for the manual download, I get a "530 Permission Denied" or something comparable.  What does this mean?  Will I still be able to download the manual?

Goodbye tim. I cannot say it was nice knowing you. [8|]

Hi Erik, there only appears to be the "normal" manual, along with the licence agreement, bootcamp and hints and tips docs etc.
I had a look in the actual manuals folder within the John Tillers Campaing Series folder but again there is only the "normal" manual present ?

I think I've discovered the same thing.

I was able to access the manual on the Members page, and it is the 2007 original Matrix release manual.

I haven't tried to access the manual in the actual 1.03 patch. Flying Scotsman seems to say it's not there either, but I've read other posts that indicate the revised manual is there, because other posts discuss the new bootcamps.

My understanding is the revised Matrix manual that encompasses the Patch 1.03 material will be on the Members page next week. Is that correct? That's what I gathered from Erik's response to Flying Scotsman.

Oops, sorry. [:o]

The v1.03 manual is there, just not the print friendly version, so at least you did print the right manual! [8D]

At this point, I'd wait for the official release if the installation is a big deal for you. If you want to use the version that's out now, just follow the instructions at the top to download it.

Regards,

Chris, I took no offense, no need to worry about this kind of stuff.

No profanity or even implied profanity on this forum, it's a family forum. You've been warned.

We (Matrix) did not "plonk" you, that was another customer and he can do so if he chooses. I took no offense at your post. As far as the game itself, the Campaign Series as released is certainly playable as it does everything the original releases did, but v1.03 represents a pretty big step forward and I think you'll like it.

I haven't posted the v1.03 manual yet, will do so this morning.

It's there, if you have v1.03 then you have the new manual, it's just the E-Book version only rather than also having the print friendly version.

Thanks, Erik.  It's easier to print from the office printer.  I didn't necessarily want to download the entire 1.03 patch just to get to the manual.  I'll check again later this morning.

Sounds to me like you're going to want to download the official 1.03 update in any event next week.

Rick

Correct.  I downloaded the patch to the home computer, but I can't print from the home computer, or printing would be a real pain.  When the official patch comes out, I'll want to download it as well, because it'll have a number of corrections, along with Arkady's Unit Vierwer.

My apologies. Bad form on my part but Chris always likes to get an jab in. It was one too many. The humor was originally not understood and taken too seriously. Again-my apologies. I didn't think of 'kids' reading the site and you are perfectly correct.
I have been enjoying the TalonSoft versions without hastle and they are fine. I have cancelled my guy for the 1.03 patch but not from removing the game (Matrix Version). I'd think a refund would be in order since the game never worked for me in Campaign mode, but that's up to you sense of customer satisfaction. I do (or did) buy other Matrix products in the past.
Jason or Erik-or whom it may concern.
You have my permission to remove me from the forum. I tried-do I just hit Unsubscribe? You may also remove my strings and or comments as you desire.

Hi 1925frank. I don't think my post was very clear, when I said the "normal"  manual I did in fact mean the new updated 1.03 manual in "normal" format as opposed to the Printer-friendly version. Apologies form any confusion.

Flying Scotsman, no apologies necessary. I'm easily confused.

I'm still waiting for the updated manual to be posted in the Members section. I'm sure it'll get posted at some point.

-- The revised manual can be e-mailed as an attachment, so the problem of getting the manual file to the office printer is solved. I see there were a lot of other goodies in the manual folder. It's Christmas in June!

Goodies? In "Private Downloads" section of the Member's Club? For CS I only see the 1.03 update and the manual, am I missing something?

was the final update going to come out today?
