Possible bug/corrupted download? - 7/19/2004 7:18:13 PM

Hey guys,
This weekend I was playing on the "Heroes of the Motherland" campaign (I think that's the name of it, it's the Russian armor campaign). I'm on scenario six or seven about 10-15 turns in, when all of a sudden the game crashes to the desktop. No error message or anything, just BAM, and I'm looking at the desktop in 800x600 (not my usual resolution). So I reboot and reload my autosave, and it's some old game I was playing a long time ago. Do campaign games not autosave? This only happened once, but it just sucked because I was an hour or two into the game and doing really well and now I have to start the whole scenario over.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I can't remember 100% which mirror I used. I am fairly certain I downloaded it from FilePlanet. The reason I can't remember is because I remember trying several times to get it from WorthPlaying and the download kept quitting on me....

Rather than wonder which site is having trouble, why not ax the lot and resend the whole lot a new file?

Surely it is no major burden to just ship the sites a n ew file so that you won't have to wonder which one is broken.

Out of curiosity, does the problem seem isolated to this specific campaign I'm playing, or is it a general game issue? I'm only asking because I started a new long WW2 campaign and I really don't want the same thing to happen again. I'm going to wait to continue it until this is ironed out if it is a game issue...

Hi All,
I've tried this site twice because it allows resumable downloads and got an error unzipping both times. The unzipped file is 429 megs but doesn't install correctly.

I have gotten crashes in a couple different Campaigns now, plus scenarios.
