Hi all,
I played ToS 1.2 and 1.3, quit for some times, and now looked to getting the last free 1.4 version ... But all links are broken, old Titansofsteel.de and viciousbyte.de sites are gone, nowhere do I find the files !!
Can someone help me getting this ? If the file are not hosted, I have a ftp site where to deliver it, or send it at my email address (in my profile).
I surely would buy ToS 2 but wil be glad playing in the meantime ... :)

Sarna is not terribly reliable, though...

It's more up than titansofsteel.de, but you can say that for Matrixgames.com as well. ;)

Thanks Larkin,
I just got all the files at sarna.net ! :)
But Battle module crashes when I click "new game" :( :mad: ...

I've an NT workstation without any sound, I already had problems with v1.3, game didn't load, but could resolve it with binit.dat parameters (nosound, nomusic...).

Now it's different, as the prog launches but crashes (prog just exits...) later !
Factory and HQ seems to work fine.

What can I do ? :confused: ?

This is a known problem with NT. It seems to crash when trying to initialize the network. Since v1.4 is no longer supported ( as well as ToS on NT ) you are out of luck here.

Why for heavens sake are you using NT ?
Do you want to play at work ?

YES !! :) :)
Obviously I ain't stoopid enough to have a PC under NT at home !! :D :D I have a standard W98 system which will be OK for sure :) !
Are you sure this is a network issue ? It crashes when I choose hotseat play ! :eek:

Anyway, ok I won't play 1.4 at work, only 1.3 ... Pity though that compatibilty was lost with the last release !

This board is great, replies are so fast it could be a chat channel ;)

I use a Win2000-server at home, and it works very well. However, at work, the battle-module also crashes, and there we use NT 4.0.
Get your boss to upgrade to 2000. :)

Just make sure he doesn't downgrade to XP.

Yeah, they're planning to do with us. :(

Hell, if I can play ToS at work, it might be very nearly worth it. ;)

In 1-2 weeks http://www.viciousbyte.com will be up and it will have not only the freeware but lots of extra goodies for TOS fans. Also there will be some enhancements for the freeware to keep you satiated until the magnificent TOS:Warring Suns is available.

I admit that TOSv1.4 is a great game. But I've been playing a BETA of Warring Suns that makes TOSv1.4 seem like a sad cartoon. Warring SUns really kicks arse all over tosv1.4.
