[Fantastic Game]

I find the atmosphere to be quite good too. ToW certainly provides a nice level of immersion! Oh, and yes, sure is pretty.

The link was provided on the confirmation/receipt page during the order. You'll also find it again during the email confirmation.

Try here for now.

[zooming in how?]

You can also select a unit, friendly or otherwise, and press the "Enter" key to zoom onto it and obtain am eye-level view of what that unit sees. This is a wonderful feature. I found the camera a little funky at first too, but after a quick tweak, I now find it's actually well implemented and intuitive to use.

[Anybody tryed the editor?]

I definitely intend to spend some time getting familiar with the editor, and hopefully produce some respectable missions. At this stage, I just need to tear myself away from the game long enough to do so -- and that's a lot easier then it sounds.

[Has anyone had any luck downloading the game or am I waising my time?]

I successfully downloaded the full game about six hours ago. I believe many people have. Have you tried posting in the troubleshooting forum? There are a few helpful tips there that you may find useful.

The only problem I have right now is the Mission editor not opening.

I hadn't tried the editor yet as I haven't been able to tear myself away from the full game (good stuff this). After reading your post, curiosity got the better of me and I was able to launch the mission editor without issue. It's odd that it won't open for you. :?

Downloaded and installed just fine. No issues whatsoever.

Good to see some fellow Mac users!

[Preordered because of the DEMO]

I am one of those who pre-ordered after playing the demo.

I suspect you're one of many. This looks to be a very good game indeed.

[The Facts. The Pre-Order Situation, Download Activation Timing and Background]

Thank you for the update, Matt.

Things happen, such is life. Given the challenging circumstances, I'm sure Battlefront has done the best they can to resolve the issues as quickly as possble. I'm certain most reasonable people appreciate this fact. Thanks again for your hard work and feverish efforts. Looking forward to play the game soon!

Best,

"F12" to take a screenshot.

[Screenshots from the demo]

I most certainly received a sound thrashing! I wasn't trying anything tactical or strategic in those shots. It was late, and I justed wanted to take and post a few screens before going to bed. Not that I'll do a whole lot better tonight.

@ Ribbentrop, those were at 1280x1024 (4xAA/8xAF)

Cheers,

Hmm, demo won't launch for me

Run the ToW configuration setup, then change the resolution. Once that's done, you should be able to start the demo without any further issues.

Here a few screenshots from the demo.

[My thoughts about the game so far...]

It definitely seems like a very good game. The camera, although adjustable in settings, seems a little funky at first and takes a little to get used too. Nothing major though, and overall the demo has been a lot of fun thus far! Looking forward to spending some time with ToW.

/Big thumbs up!

[Theatre of War Demo Released!]

Great news!

Thank you very much for this.

[Isn't it "later" enough?]

Not usually, at least from my experience.

Once the digital download is available and you've started downloading, a quick check of your download speed is a better indicator of how long it will take (assuming the speed remains constant).

There are also bandwidth speed test sites available on the net which you may use to get a rough estimation of your general bandwidth speed.

[where to buy]

Originally posted by Vaporblast:

Anyone knows if we'll be able to buy an in-store version of the game.

Eventually, yes.

Moon has mentioned in a few posts that Battlefront does plan to release a physical retail copy. There is no firm date yet, other than maybe later this year or perhaps early next year.

[a quick question]

I'm not 100% certain, but I'd imagine you would certainly get a pdf format of the manual. Pretty standard for most digital versions of titles.
