ConfusedBuyer Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hi, Is there a way I can just download the manuals (not just for Theatre of War, but all the games)?? I'm not a fan of the Flash player set-up for online reading. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry, not that I know of. Each of the currently shipping games comes with a PDF of the manual, but we don't have those posted up for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedBuyer Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Do you mean you have to get the physical version (on disc) to get the manual? Not sure what you mean by "shipping," that's all. The online version, with that fancy Flash thinggy, is really annoying to leaf through! It doesn't even display correctly on any browser or machine I have, at home or work! I don't understand why y'all can't just keep it simple and have a normal .pdf for download. Now I finally played the demo a little last night and while I was pleased to see a tutorial game, it didn't really help me learn the controls right away. In fact, that's why I still need to go read the manual -- but it's a real PITA with the setup you guys have here. In order to zoom in, a call is made to your server for a marginally larger image of what should have been large and clear in the first place...et cetera.

Schrullenhaft Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A .pdf comes with BOTH the physical and 'download' version of the game (which are only different in terms of how the game is distributed, not in its contents or licensing/copy-protection). I don't know the reasoning why a PDF manual doesn't come with the Demo. The 'online manual' is only there as a preview and possible reference for the Demo.

ConfusedBuyer Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks, Schrullenhaft, I appreciate the good news! It may sound ridiculous that I should ever be afraid of no getting a manual with a game I buy but then again games no longer come with printed manuals nowadays and bicycles used to come with kickstands, too....

Moon Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Actually, most of our (newly released) games do come with printed manuals. At least until they sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed; thanks (I don't mean to sound like a broken record about this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
