Game seems to be released, at their fiorum customers say they found it in their mail.

Attention US customers, this is from their board:

[quote]FYI A download version of T34 will become available via GamersGate.com in the next days. Other online distributors will follow shortly.[/quote]

Customers say they cannot open an account with the US not being listed as an available country so far.

German Amazon still list it for 21st Nov.

Also, a customer answers to questions for the copy protection, saying this:

As far as i can tell its purely a cdkey - game works without DVD in the drive and there was no online activation afaik.

Just came home from work and guess what was waiting for me in the mail.

Pretty fast shipping.

Got my copy yesterday here in Finland. Nice game but still a bit buggy. I have played singleplayer mode for practice now but I'm ready for MP action. Problem is that I can't find MP servers anywhere. Gamespy doesn't regognize the game yet and T34vsT own MP doesn't find any servers.

You have to add TvsT manually in Gamespy Arcade.
Check the Gamespy Arcade - help how this works but it workred for me but still no online games.
I feel a little scammed because the main reason for me to buy this game was the multiplayer gaming.

Okay everyone who´s considering buying this game should take a huge step back!!
I should have thrown my 39,- Euros out of the window i guess that would have been more fun than playing this game, hell even a root canal treatment is more fun!

Wait, are you unhappy because the game is not fun? Or because the MP does not work?

Besides that, Gamespy Arcade is horrible for Multiplayer games IMO,
especially when you talk about that Hog of a application you have to launch.

I rather have a In-build feature to join and create servers (in Example Silent Hunter III) which require a Log in and you just end up in a chat room and from there you join games.

From what I've read, there's either gamespy or directip methods available for T34 Vs. Tiger.

As you might know over at http://www.t34vtiger.com/ where some guys who made serious efforts to get the MP to run but for the few ppl that could get connected it was a bugfest anyway.
As for the single player.
I have to play every mission 3 or 4 times but not because i "die" it´s because the game has a tendency for CTDs and freezes. It looks like they just translated the Russian version and did no bugfixing at all.
Just for the thrill of it i fired up the demo of SF and for me this demo feels 100 times more polished than this "full" version of TvT and i don´t write this stuff because i am a naysayer, i really wanted this game to be a success! Imho this game should be freeware because it´s not worth a dime right now! I seriously doubt it will get any better considering how long this "game" is on the Russian retail market and still in a condition every developer and publisher should hide in shame for charging money for it.

I don't know if anyone has noticed...this game was on sale at Gamer'sGate this A.M. and by this afternoon it was gone. I've been following this title closely and hoping for a great new tank sim, but WOW! The board for it over at Lighthouse Interactive is a hate-fest. Gonna have to see a patch or three for this one before I buy.

I am using vista x64 and here what I faced:

1. CTD whenever I tried to start a mission.
2. "Unable to initialize sound driver" warning when I start this game.

Fix for #1: Find msvcp71.dll is and msvcr71.dll on net, and copy these files in game folder. Game now works
Unable to find any fix for #2 so there are no sounds in game.



And now there's no one from lighthouse replying in any threads about bugs in game. Seems to me that they went in hiding after scaming people for money. Clowns
