Want to ask about buying the game.

Yea thanks everyone, i bit the bullet last night, and purchased a key. Used it and the game appeared in my account to download. Took a while with my super fast 4mb broadband connection.

Installed and tested found that it was already updated to version 1.20, pity that you cant download an installer, so that you dont have to keep doing it.

I dont have german voices like in some videos i watched online, they sound american.

I installed TWOS 2.26 Full, and followed the instructions, but now i get a black screen, and the game wont respond. I have to do a hard reset of my computer.

So if anyone can help me get it working i would be grateful. Almost forgot im on Windows 10 Pro 64bit, dont know if that matters, and im running SH5.exe as admin.

Never mind im a moron, upon searching SH5 Mods section, i found a topic relating to the very problem i was having.

It turns out that it is normal, and that i was not giving it time to load, thinking that the game had crashed.

So thankyou again for all your help.

Hi Dogstar359! For how long did you wait? Up to 5 min of "blackness" after the initial loading screen is quite normal with TWoS on board due to vastly increased nations rooster...
