No need to split it.  Just ZIP it up.  It compresses really well.

I would rather see a DXDIAG output.

Are you running any anti-xxx software?  If so, which one?

Download of AHIII3401TEST1.EXE went smooth at my max ips speed.
Game ran smooth on DX11 in Oculus Rift. Immensely smoother with hardly a stutter.
Easy in-game again.

Installation and download went ok, took about 5 minutes in total.

After uninstallation the folder is still there though.

Download took about an hour, started quick but slowed way down. Install went well until I hit the stdshapes file and again slowed way down, almost an hour.

On the other hand, as a test, I downloaded the full version from the site. Downloaded in 5 minutes. Install rolled right along until it hit the stdshapes file and it died again, 25 minutes.

After about an hour of playing, spawned in a wirble and as I was driving out of the hanger. The voice message of our feilds are being attacked started and the first half gave a screen freeze then picked up finishing clean at the last half of the message. Another 30 min of playing and no screen freezes nor anymore automated messages.

Hope you saved your "Settings older"...but pretty sure it wont be a problem..Being NEW install...you will need to reset all controls to the way you had them set. Only difference I found, was the Gun Sights set back to default....

If you still have the game installed, you can simply run it and it will update itself, or download the full install of the game and install over the top of your existing installation.

My download was showing almost 4 hours so I checked my internet speed which was fine (211/11). Tried to continue download and still slow so I cancelled it and started over. It downloaded in less than a minute.

So far no issues.

My gunsights were also set back to default.
No issues other than that.

what I'm saying is I had to unload the game when I reset my computer to factory specs.
so should I or will I have any problems downloading the game or is there something special I need to do?
it will be like I'm down loading for the 1st time-with my internet it takes about 4 to 5 hrs to download the game.

Lunatic, if you've reset your computer to factory specs, there's a ton of Windows updates after that, maybe also some driver updates from the manufacturer using their updater. Aside of those there's nothing special you'd have to do before downloading AH.

If you're downloading this very Test version, there's been issues with downloading the stdshapes.res file in the lower progression bar.
Quote from: BaldEagl, applies to myself, too
I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.
