Status: offline 		Hi everyone,

Our investigation into those orders that experienced download issues has made some progress. First, we believe the issues are limited to a bug with Internet Explorer 8 and how it interacts with the "cloud" that we have the files downloading from. This does not affect all orders with IE, just a small minority and it is not consistent. In those cases, the problem is usually solved by canceling and restarting the download.

In the cases where that does not work, please try an alternate browser with the same link, such as Firefox or Google Chrome.

http://www.mozilla.org
http://www.google.com/chrome

You can easily install those for the download as a temporary work-around, then uninstall them after the download.

Some customers have had luck using this download manager:

http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

Also, some download speed and link issues have been resolved by having the customer reboot their internet modem/router.

If that doesn't work, we can also provide an alternate link that does not go to the "cloud". This alternate link is now included in all order e-mails as a test. For those that already placed orders, you can e-mail us at storesupport@matrixgames.com to request this link.

The issue itself is being worked on and we hope that within a day or two these work-arounds will be unnecessary.

Regards,

- Erik

Clicked on link, was unable to actually download game until login details supplied via Plism. Not possible to login via Plism link. Am now unable to receive the game which I've paid for as there have been too many attempts to access the download link. I'm now locked out from downloading the game at all. Matrix games FIX THIS NOW as I've paid for a game which I can't access.

Beta patch is no biggy anyhow. I still haven't got through all of the manual yet. I don't start a game till I have read the manual at least once from cover to cover. :-)

They have so far not failed but it took me about 4 hours to download War in the East where it should have taken about 30 mins normally to download a file that size.

http://www.amazon.de/Gary-Grigsbys-War-East-German-Soviet/dp/B004S93TW0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1333120689&sr=8-3-fkmr0

Is that true?
I don't see any German patches around here...

And if it's true: how can I be sure to get the US-version of the game?
The download here
http://www.matrixgames.com/store/372/Gary.Grigsby%27s.War.in.the.East:.The.German-Soviet.War.1941-1945
is priced in EURO, at least for me, sitting on European soil.

What kind of problem are you having with the links? If you have a ticket into our Help Desk (not with Plimus) we also have other ways of providing you a download link if you can't get the one from the store working. There's no general download link issue that we've found though. Many, many customers download successfully every day and we use the same back-end technology used by much larger companies to provide downloads globally.

Regards,

- Erik

Can the game be downloaded to a Samsung Andriod tablet? Thus making it portable.

"This product is no longer available for download, this may be due to the maximum number of allowed attempts exceeded or the allotted time.
Please contact the manufacturer of the product for support. "

So, I'm contacting you to help me get my game!
