You see, this is why a Christmas release would be perfect. Even at this late stage I am still hoping for a change of mind and a Christmas release.

You know it makes sense.

Best wishes,
Steve

Well, he hinted at "before noon" eastern US, and that should mean 11:55 or so... It is still quite a few hours until that.

Hi Drillerman,

I'm awake, but the release won't start rolling until the rest of our US staff is in the office at 9AM. It's a fairly complex release because of all the extra promotional setup, so I'd expect it to take an hour or two to go live.

Regards,

- Erik

Hi Erik,
WHAT!!!! Not even 9am yet?!?

As an aside, would it be best to "fresh" install everything ie; DW-ROTS-Legends-shadows, or just install shadows?

Just install shadows, it should not care about the state of the old Legends.

If you have replaced a lot of things, it could be an idea to do a clean install, though.

The only concern would be any modded files - you may want to back those up if you don't have another copy somewhere.

Regards,

I hope Shadows brings in lots of new fans so once the eventual modder expansion is released, we can get some great gameplay that no one has thought of yet. Also hopefully it gives Codeforce lots of encouragement for Distant Worlds 2 :)

It's 1412 here in England, but I've been forced into going out with the other half tonight.

I think she knows that as I've spent all week banging on about this game, she won't see me Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

By the way, perfect timing on releasing the game on a bank holiday weekend!!! WOOOOO

I have run the gold installer, multiple testers have, and I guess it may be your install that is a bit unhealthy. Crossing fingers for your reinstall.

No luck...going to try D/L the entire series and reinstalling I guess :(

edit: went back, d/l the original DW beta patch 1.07 (or whichever was showing), then reinstalled both expansions, and now shadows recognizes it. All is good :)

Are you using the default folder location for the installs?

Please make sure you turn off anti-virus/security software if you have any installation issues. Depending on their settings, they could prevent the installer from properly locating the previous games.

No, not using default location, but all is well :)

To bad it's so noisy out here (lovely followup to the tornado this week...a week full of severe thunderstorms), or I'd stream this on twitch and try to bring some attention to this game!)

edit: Heck with it, I'll stream anyways!

Stream is up---twitch.tv/castinar

I'm new at this streaming thing....and I'm taking things slow...but anyone wanting a live look at an empire in the pre-hyperspace age can take a look!
