Exactly what is the problem and what do you have?

I would love to have this to update my old 5.0 Megacampaign and get the rest, but download is not an option (56k). Earlier posts have indicated CD shipment to be unreliable. Is this still a problem? I can't spend the $$ if I'm not going to get a quick CD in the mail.

I think the CD problem is fully resolved, Fox. You should get the General's edition. You'll have the complete package of Mega Campaigns, each one updated with any revisions already included. I've not heard of anyone who did not receive the CD. It does cost a little more than the download only but if you want a CD, its worth it.

Don't be embarassed, Billie. We'll be more than happy to help. You just need to tell what is going on when you try to to load the game. Talk to us and we'll help you. You might want to post your situation to the general SPWAW section. A lot more people read it.

I've been waiting to ( buy the Mega campaigns CD) for the 8.403 or newest upgrade. Is there still a wait time on the Mega being upgraded for purchasers?

Try this. Do you know much about file folders? Using the file manager can you see a SPWAW folder?

If you can, find the mech.exe file. Double click on it and see if the game starts for you.

I just purchased the General's Edition, but I can't get the download version to work. The Zip file I download is corrupted, I got the whole thing three times now and it allways stops at the end without extracting the file. SteelPanthersWorldAtWarGE-Setup-v8403DR.exe is the current version available, anybody know what could be the problem ?

8.403 is a beta update to the exe file, not the complete game. Are you sure you downloaded the correct file from the correct place?

your game file should say 8.2 or 8.3 (I dont recall which) if you purchased the Generals editons, 8.403 was an update to another update 8.4

It's the only download link for the generals edition I could find. I assumed it had been updated to include the 8.4 patch. I can download and patch the normal version just fine, downloading 8.2 then patching 8.3 and 8.4, but that doesn't give me the mega campaigns.

This game is almost 20 years old. Not to be cheap, but why is this game $50.00?!?

Let's say I have the money and buy it. What do I need for DLC and will it work on a modern PC of only 2 years old?

Hmmmm, I got the GE on sale before XMas for like $23 Cdn, which is about $10 USD LOL. I agree that the price should be way lower than $50.
If you look HERE!, you can find what you need to make the game function on a new machine, whatever your Microsoft OS is.
That part is free.

cheers

The ONLY place that sells SPGE for a price is Matrix Games. Every other location that offers a free download are from questionable sites that activates my protection software.

UPDATE: Matrix Games is offering 30% off all titles. This drops the price down from $50 to about $35, give or take. Acceptable financial loss if there's no other option for a cheaper price.

The question is: what other DLC do I need besides the suggested "HERE" site to look at?

That's it!
The Depot has the fixed mech.exe file that allows you to play the game on a modern computer. D/L that and replace the original file and you're good to go.
