Well I guess you don't realize that Gaming and Wireless are a crappy combo? Your probably warping all over the place.
-
Fixed a bug in the explosion collider that would apply damage to the opposite side of the explosion.
Does that sound like the 30mm funny damage?

3.05 KB d/l speed? Holy crap, I could beat that with 28.8K modem in 1990.
-
not that i am aware and no1 has ever told me im warping
although my download speed is pretty much back to what the wireless was :furious - still a long long wait ahead
-
Everyone is trying to do it at once so be patient. Only took bout 5 minutes for me
-
ohhhh I cant wait. Wonder what maps are going to be up
-
Typo on main update page, try this link instead:
http://downloads1.hitechcreations.com/AH2131TO2140.EXE (http://downloads1.hitechcreations.com/AH2131TO2140.EXE)
-
So should I update through the game? or with that link?
-
Not sure, update program worked, but I cannot log in to any arena right now... :(
-

Well with the nearest 'town' 15miles away its this or satellite.
-
Thanks for the birthday present Hitech. :rock I wonder if this is going to mess up the MOM tonight.
-
Well I got the update but now when I try to log in it says "Subscription expired, would you like to subscribe now?"
Any idea why it would do that?
-
Come on Larry get with the program...we all know satellite is the bomb!
:rock
-
I feel your pain Larry!! When i had dial-up id ask a squadmate to overnight a copy of the download on a disc for me. Didnt like holding up the phone line for 20 hours!
-
15mis left. I can prolly smoke 3 cigarettes, bring garbage cans up, pace back and forth until its complete. Then I will get uber mad because no arenas are open lol.

Were you on a two week trial? Otherwise you might try shooting them an email. They will be busy but should get to it fairly quickly.
-
ohoh finished the download but green purp orange and blue still closed?
-
Training arena is up, but you cant fly the new planes in it. Me thinks they have some settings to play with still.
-
no rush to download, all the arenas are closed anyway, ok not all the TA and AVA are open, but I can't even get into the TA it says there's an error trying to get the map.
-

I'd just drive the 15 miles to town and use my laptop at McD's to d/l the file.

tonight where? :noid :rofl
-
figured it out *I think*. For some reason it reverted to an older account name/pass I used to use after patching. Anyway I updated that and tried to log into the training arena (only one that appears to be open), it starts downloading the map then as it finishes I get punted out to the start screen clipboard. So still no success at logging in.
-
I hope folks hammering the servers is not slowing them down.
-
Im in the arena...woot! :aok
-
Literally took me 4 minutes to download the update. :P
-
20 mins to d/l,and now the game dosen't open,I'm runnin Vista Home Premiun 32-bit,anyone else havin this problem?

Manually downloading the update is faster than the auto-update. Came home for lunch, fired up the game for the auto-upater to patch the game and had a 20 minute wait. Stopped it and used the manual download link and downloaded the update in less than 3 minutes.

-
Downloaded in three minutes, works great. :cool:
-
Desktop wouldn't allow me to run it well. My $400 laptop is running it amazingly with 45 frames at the lowest. Graphics are even turned up higher on this than it was with the desktop :lol I don't get computers at all.

WTG HTC !!!! :aok
all works superbly thanks for your hard work and effort in getting this out. :salute
Now give us more planes , the subs and the n00ks!!! ;)
-
WTG HTC !!!!!
great work guys, lovin it!
-
Thanks for the new release HTC!
I'm experiencing heavy stuttering and pauses with other planes around, something that I didn't experience with the beta. While I did have stutters in the beta, they weren't anything like they are now. Disabling detailed terrain didn't really cure this problem, but it might have lessened it to a degree. It looks like one cause might be tracers/firing guns, either own or someone elses. Reading the Ch200 it seemed others were experiencing similar issues aswell.
EDIT/Started a new topic in the Bug Reports-forum with my system specs./EDIT

WTG HTC. I can't wait to see what's next.

It's all the Brewster's fault. HTC, remove that crappy B-239 and everything will be fine again! :devil
