You will get both an email to the purchasing address and a download link on the right side of the "My orders" page from the Battlefront.com website. You will get these as soon as the purchase is verified on BFC's end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooroldspike Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 Well I downloaded RT, it took about an hour, here it is in my downloads folder, but when I click on it it a message comes up saying "cannot open". It's a rar file, what the heck's one of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 A RAR file is a compressed file/folder (like a Zip file or similar). You'll need to extract its contents with an application like WinZip or WinRAR (which I use as it's free for what I do with it). Keep posting if this is also a new thing for you . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rar file, what the heck's one of them? So .rar is an archive file just like .zip is. It takes the original folders of the files and makes them smaller with some algorithm or whatever. So the data is essentially "packed". You want to "unpack" it. The best program in town for what feels like two decades at this point is 7Zip by some dude named Igor. Download and install 7Zip (Now you can unpack .rar files in addition to .zip). After you extract the file you can install the program from the .exe 7Zip link: https://www.7-zip.org/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great! Enjoy, make sure to edit the hotkeys file to your liking, that is essential to enjoying the game and learning all the functions. You can find the hotkeys file in your newly created CMRT directory in your documents folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 May I recommend downloading the user made Berlin map found here: You can expect something like this but larger with the expansion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
