Matrix Games Forums

I recently did a virgin install of Windows 7 (64 bit) and then started to reinstall all of the software I wanted to transfer over. I am having trouble with Advanced Tactics. Originally, I purchased Advanced Tactics back in Feb. 2008, and I can't seem to find the original download. However, I do have the zip files AdvancedTactics-UpdateCompDR-v115 (v120 and v120b). Is it possible to install with these files? I am supposing the answer is no since they are clearly something of an update. At any rate, when I try to run the exe in the files, it does run, asks for the serial number and extracts files. It seems to incomplete, and when I try to run, it gives lots of errors. So, the question is how can I reinstall without purchasing again?

You have to take this up with Matrix support since they host the download files. I am sure they can point you to the correct location.

Vic,

I figured that this might be the avenue. I put in a request, but I guess I am not hopeful since the first download was 2 years ago. And Matrix is a bit slow in responding. Unfortunately, with two full hardware upgrades and two OS upgrades, that file was most likely on a small HD that I didn't fully copy over. I rather like the game, and I would like not to have to purchase again. A lesson here on saving downloaded installation files!

EDIT-- wrong---- never mind----[:'(]

I have the same problem, and no response from Matrix. I guess this means the end of my AT playing career

No response? That's weird because I did send them a couple of mails in the past few years... and always got an answer back. Maybe try to mail them again, or wait a few days, I dunno. Would be a waste not to be able to play AT anymore.
Besides, if you still have the original serial number/ order number ( I always forget which one you need) then it should be possible to d/l the game from the members area (registered games) right?

No, that is only for downloading various upgrades etc. Waiting a few days, sure, maybe they'll respond eventually

Or PM Erik Rutins and see if he can check with the support just in case they're not off somewhere, like vacation......

Moved to other topic...
