A very, very, very limited circumstance bug does not rise to the definition of "broken". Obviously you have a very special case that is affected by this bug, but that means your scenario is "broken" not the patch nor the game itself. We do not have v3.13 in the works at the moment but we will get this fixed. Currently we're about to put out v1.01 for CMFB. Steve thanks! Good enough information for me. Can work on something else in the meantime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Turns out that my dopy arrived yesterday but I didn't know it until I checked my mailbox this morning. Truth to tell, I wasn't expecting it until today. I just had time to give it all a quick glance, but I expect I shall soon be devouring the game manual. BTW, I sort of agree with John K. that the box art sux, but it (shrug) doesn't really matter that much. Since I don't expect that the game will be offered through retail outlets, eye-catching box art is not really a premium. And anyway, BFC kind of has a history of this kind of thing. Not meaning to hurt anybody's feelings, but the artwork on the Barbarossa to Berlin disc was laughable. And the titles that they have chosen for their games make the poet in me groan. But that's not what we go looking for when we come to BFC, first-rate games are, and there they shine. Michael P.S.: Next time you are searching for a title for a game, drop me a line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERYBODY is an art critic I personally think Jackson Pollock had about as much talent as my toenail clippings, but others differ greatly. I saw the Mona Lisa in person and thought, "meh, don't see what all the fuss is about".

No thanks We had about 50+ testers helping us come up with a name, so it's not like we didn't have things to choose from. When you weed out the clumsy, the obscure, the not-sexy, etc. you find a small list. Then when you look to see what names have already been used the list gets even smaller. In the end, neither the name nor the cover artwork matter much because nobody buys our sort of game based on those things. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefront.com Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 News flash... if you placed your order on March 18th, and you did not receive a confirmation email, there's a good chance it's still here and will go out tomorrow (Friday). Apparently one of the preorder logs was missed. Oops Fortunately we held back some of the limited edition manuals "just in case" so no worries there. No need to contact us if you think this applies to you because I re-downloaded the master orders file and they're all there safe and sound. Sorry about that! Steve P.S. Wicky is giving Andy Warhol a run for his money! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge44 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Ordered mine April 1st, never received email at all, but had post office card this morning through letter box to pick up parcel from post office. Customs had nabbed it and I was charged another £15 to get it out of post office. Turned out to be an expensive game (im in UK) Just a query really but seeing as we get the game download to start off with when buying CMFB (download and hard copy), is there any need to put $55 on the air mail packaging? Couldn't you put say $10 on the packaging, the difference in cost between the download only and the download with hard copy? No offence meant, was just wondering that's all Mark Edited May 14, 2016 by Budge44 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pay the post office another £15.76 to collect the game. £7.16 customs charge and £8 post office rip off fee. OOPS, I meant to say handling fee It has been discussed to death on these forums in the past and it is a chance you need to take if you want a hard copy. All but one of the games I've bought from BF had incurred a customs charge. I usually wait until I want three or four games/modules as you save on postage and only get hit with the handling fee once. Pre orders with limited edition items can be the exception if you already have everything else. Unless you can get some kind person in the US to post it to instead of direct from BF then we are stuck with the extra $22 or so on top of the purchase price. Depends on how you want the game. I personally prefer a hard goods copy as I am old fashioned. Or is that just old? Also my internet speeds are poor at the best of times and slower than an asthmatic snail the rest of the time. At least I know I am supporting two businesses with every purchase. Make me feel good inside. Not.

Budge44 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Im old fashioned and old Joe , my download speed is pretty good, but I do like the hard copy game manuals, I remember the Falcon 4 Manuals and many others with fondness. Yes the post office rip off/handling fee, cant say that too loud as missis works for Parcelforce, pity it didn't come through them, may have got away with it lol. Oh well you live and learn.

Ithikial_AU Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Probably about to join the 'rip off' club here in Australia. It has just been silently announced that our sales tax system will for the first time include all international online purchases under $1,000 AUD. Hidden away without much fanfare in our recent budget after previous public talks on the matter blew up in the government's face. They somehow expect all overseas companies which sell more than $75k per year worth of goods to Australian consumers to register with our tax office. See if that works... so I'm guessing they'll go the post office route eventually and charge the consumers before they receive the item. But that doesn't pick digital sales which this was all about in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinkin Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Government instincts know how to tax just enough so as not to PO a critical mass of people. It's in their DNA. Reminds me of the fable about how to cook a frog without it jumping out of the pot. Kevin Edited May 20, 2016 by kevinkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
