HELLO MR. FRAG. CAN YOU DD THE GAME ?????
DO YOU THINK A 56KB COULD BE OK????
THANKS FOR ALL

You will be able to when Matrix is ready. See the several DD threads from about a week ago. They are very detailed and include discussion of 56K capabilities.

ok.. before the demands for and against my execution are issued.. [:-]let me reitterate .. I asked "When.. "
I did not demand... I just wanted to have some clue to plan by as when this comes out I should have a big chunk of time reserved.. for those who are offended by my comments.. ot my intent to offend anyone.. expecially Matrix or 2by3...

Maybe you'll have to make an appointment for download[:D]

Seriously I can imagine that thier servers might be a bit taxed if everyone hits it at once. Personally I'm waiting till the first issues are ironed out, I don't think that will be a very long wait all the same.

Plus I ain't got the money to burn right now[:D]

For what it is worth: I think Freeboy has a point, Matrix have many loyal fans, and some may well be a little over the top with expectation, ( and with some justification if the Beta testers and promos are correct). It is Matrix's product and they can choose to deal with it as they want, and release it when they are ready, however the hundreds of eager over excited fans on this board, are the ones who will help feed them in the future. So some courtesy should be extended, more info about the release should be made available. N.B. If you having trouble with new bugs, say so if there production, download or any other problems that would be understood. a firm not today, Friday PM or Tuesday or Wednesday next, would let some the addicted forum members get on with life, or u might just lose some sales, I'm in business too. I would get very angry with myself if I lost some business, because I didn't keep my customers informed.

Hi freeboy.
I see it's not up yet.
Gotta head to work. I'll check from over there; besides I have not had coffee yet. Good thing the wife is still asleep[:)]

Coffee good, caffeinated better lack of sleep.. up Monday night with sick pet.. I work from a home office.. so I'm always at work .. lol.. of course there are those tricky rocky mountains [:D]

Ahhh yes, the wait until Service Pack 1 is out, type. I'm kind of that way, too. I didn't buy UV until there were two major patch releases out. I've already noticed up in the support area there are some rather significant problems already exposed by the tiny few who got copies at Origins. Some non-trivial OOB omissions (most notably no C-46's in the CBI theater), a GUI refresh bug or two, a rather annoying sound bug having to do with DirectX, and a data problem with the tutorial. And those are just from the few who picked it up at Origins.....

DirectX problems caused by people's systems have very little to do with the developer. Data problem with the tutorial has already been posted as a solution. Screen refresh is a bit of a mystery. None of these have any impact whatsoever on game play.

If that is the best you can come up with for bugs, I'm laughing. Where's the real bug complaints that has something to do with the game like units vanishing or data being corrupted or combat reports having different results in PBEM? [:D]

I agree Mr. Frag.... can we dd today... has anyone at MAtrix have anything to say to this?
I noticed Eric in the Support dorum stating the cd wouldn't be out till Aug.. only dd till then wow..
any thoughts?

Gentlemen,

It's coming together, we're not kicking back with stogies while you wait. [;)] Obviously we're looking into all early Origins reports at the same time and what we can fix before digital download release we will do.

Regards,

- Erik

Those origins reports don't looks so bad. Sounds like some easy work arounds until a patch is released. Please don't hold up the DD for any more changes, let try to get it out today![:D]

Anxiously awaiting [&o]
