Okay, that's an argument. You just conviced me and I've just preordered my copy. Will there be an email once the game is available for download?

Hello everybody, I'd really like to preorder SC-WWI. However, the shop only offers me a download+mail delivery option which means that I have to pay another 20 bucks just for CD. So my question is if there's any possibility to just buy the download-version of the game? I'd really like to have a physical copy of it - but not if it's that much more expensive for me. Thanks for any hints and advices! --- Just noticed Moon's reply that the download-only option will be available once the game is officially released. But why isn't it possible to pre-order the download option? I'd really like to preorder due to the lower price and cause I think it will be an awesome game.

Hubert, thanks a lot for your answer! I'm really looking forward to this and I'll definitely buy it.

I'm pretty new to the SC series and really enjoying Global Conflict so far. I think WWI is an excellent choice for a new SC and I'm really excited about it. However, I still prefer to order retail versions of my games (so I've done with GC) - so my question is if there are plans to release this WWI game also as a retail version?

Hi, as far as I know the license should be returned automatically to the elicense server after uninstalling the game regularly. I did this several times and it always worked fine for me.

@wlape3: Thanks for this advice; I'll try to get my first campaign going and to see how it's working out for me. Again, thanks a lot for all the quick replies!

SeaMonkey, thanks a lot for your quick reply. Even if this problem still exists it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with this. Thank you also for the tip regarding map usage in order to work around this problem. I already thought of something like this, but it's nevertheless a bit disappointing that even the next unit button (not key) isn't working properly. Maybe I'm just a bit frustrated cause I used to cycle through all my units in those other games I mentioned (5 star series). So one last question: Is there anything else I should know concerning this problem before continue playing/starting a campaign? I mean are you still playing the game this way (using only the map to detect units which are still available for action)? Again, thanks a lot for your help! And sorry for any mistakes regarding my language/writing -- I'm from Germany and always need some practice before it gets better

@Seamonkey: Okay, that's very good to know that it's not the fault of my configurations or something. Since this is a known problem, how am I still able to play the game? Maybe a strange question but I'm new to the Strategic Command series and only played SSI strategy games before (Pacific General etc.). In those games the next unit button was essential cause otherwise you wouldn't know which units already have been used. So my question is if this game is still playable without this function at all? Am I missing something here? Thank you very much in advance!

Okay, the problem's getting pretty weird... I just found out that it always crashes when I try to continue selecting the next unit pressing the "N"-key. When there's no unit left that can be moved etc. the game always freezes. I installed the game on two other computers and the problem is always the same. Any ideas how to solve this?

@Big Al: Thanks for your reply. But I don't have any extra devices connected. I've also updated all the drivers (including DirectX). @wlape3: Also thank you very much for this hint. I've already installed the game several times (with and without patch), also using wiping any previous installations and registry settings etc. Unfortunately it didn't help at all.

Hello, I just got my retail copy of Global Conflict after weeks of waiting. So I just started a new campaign and noticed that the game freezes ALWAYS at the end of my first turn, i.e. when I've moved my last unit. It doesn't matter if I'm using the latest patch 1.04 or not - it always freezes. I've reinstalled the game about ten times now and I don't know what to do anymore. I've also tried the various ingame settings (turn on/off video acceleration etc.) - with no result at all. Every other game is running fine on my WinXP (SP3) machine. It would be awesome if anyone has a clue or hint for me how to fix this.
