**** GWX 2.0 Release and download FAQ *****

Onkel Neal · 12-09-07, 11:08 AM

For one week, GWX 2.0 is a donation download to support Subsim.com
After Dec 16, it will be come and get as you wish.

What is the link to the donate area and how much?

Ref:
a) http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/gwx_donation1207.php

b) what you wish to donate.

c) Thanks.

Current Status: The GWX 2.0 Download Info e-mails have been sent to all existing donors. If you did not get the e-mail, and you did make a donation, send an e-mail to subsim@subsim.com with the Subject: Here's my donation info, look me up

In your e-mail I need:
The date of your Paypal donation
The e-mail address you use for Paypal

Hopefully, there won't be many of you, I spent all morning combing the database.

When will the release info e-mail go out?
Kpt Lehmann has sent up the green flare, tighten your chinstrap, it has begun.
When the release and download info go out, they will be sent to 100 people at a time, with 100 more every hour. This is to prevent 300 people from downloading at the exact same moment and crashing the server, which means no one gets to download.

Am I on the list? Is my e-mail correct?
Don't worry, by this afternoon I will ask people who have donated to send me an update of their status; did they get the release info e-mail? If not, please wait until I ask for your status here. That way I can check your status and answer your mail faster.

What if I make my GW or Radio Room donation now? Or later today? Or Monday, Tuesday, etc? Will I get the release info?
Yes, once the backlog of people on the list is cleared up, and the stragglers with incorrect Paypal e-mails or aggresive spam filters are addressed, I will pull a fresh list from the Subsim Paypal account and add the latest donors, then send the release info out several times a day, as new donors appear.

Do I still need to send Neal an e-mail with Neal, my Subsim donation goes toward GWX 2.0 please in the subject?
No, at this point, all skippers who make a Paypal donation to help Subsim will automatically be included in the list.

Thanks to Kpt Lehmann and the GWX team for their thoughtful suggestion to use the release of GWX 2.0 as a one week donation download. This has been very helpful, and once again has shown how Subsim is a unique community with the best people on the web.

Ok, to slow down the flood of PMs, let me post some FAQ here.
Please keep this thread clear of off topic posts, if you have an issue, question, or something that needs attention, post away.

Thank you for your donation and support,
good hunting!

Hey, Neal:

If I promise to keep any eye on your account for any trouble tickets, can you send me a copy of GWX 2.0?

Thank you,

Lol, good man. Certainly, send me an e-mail.

Onkel Neal · 12-09-07, 05:44 PM

Status update: download info has been sent to about half of the list. Thanks for your patience, all donors should have their message over the next few hours.

Is it normal to have this sent to you 3 times? Currently the Subsim and Deep Domain servers are running at full load processing downloads, you are next in the que for the early download access to GWX 2.0

Yes, I'm just letting you know I haven't missed you and you are in the list. E-mails with the download info are going out 50 every hour, yours should arrive this evening. I had to throttle back a little from this morning, we put such a load on the server the forums just about stopped working. Right now we are trucking along nicely, so I will keep processing e-mails.

best
Neal

miner1436 · 12-09-07, 08:50 PM

Should the last of the downloads be out within the hour?

Packerton · 12-09-07, 09:15 PM

Patience people, There a big list to sift through.

NiclDoe · 12-09-07, 09:33 PM
