It's not possible for anyone to post it - its a Steam download. You'll have to wait until you get the 'net back on your steam PC.

Yeah but the patch broke something. I was playing the demo yesterday and it was great!. Was all set to buy it but thought I would give it one more go to make sure today but it downloaded the latest patch automatically and now the demo dosn't work it sticks on the company title screen and dosn't even reach the main menu screen! and according to someone with the full game the menu items no longer work. I think sombody in scandinavia is going to be putting in some weekend overtime. A great shame that such a good game is being ruined by glitches.

I disagree. It looks horrid. I just tried the new scenario attached and managed to lock it up five times in a row. Complete freeze that had to be shut down from with Task Manager.

I then switched sides and brought the game to a standstill, literally. There weren't even any missiles in the air when it happened. I don't know what they did, but I just cringe to think of how this new scen will explode in MP from the lag.

Works fine for me, just loaded it up and had a go at the new one for a few mins. No crashes, no initial slowdown. Maybe try verify game files in steam?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them, but no luck or improvement.

I tried the patch and everything still works well. I see they made some gameplay improvements.

Has anyone else noticed that they released better quality skins for some aircraft and ships? I am not sure if this is new or I just did not notice it before. :hmmm:
