Problems with download caps?

03-12-16, 08:54 AM

Hello fellow sub simmers, quick question, any issues with download limits or donor mod section? Cant access any DLs for days now.

Emailed support a few days ago, but no answer. Have caught the SH bug again and need mods desperately...lol.

Cheers for any help

Thanks Sailor Steve, more a lurker here than a participant, thought being a donor would bypass it, obviously not, maybe these posts will help.

Cheers.

Hi Pointy,

Being a donor does actually help. Depending on your donation or sub(scription), pardon the pun - sometimes I can't help but be corny, I believe it'll give you different levels of download which are described in the donor section.

Did you donate and nothing changed?

Thanks siege00

Initially I downloaded most of what I needed to get me up and running for SH5, searched for my beloved Grey Wolves for SH3 (for the notebook), realised its now in a bonus mod section.

No drama I thought, donated and downloaded, then all download access ceased.

Has been a while since I played SH and thought I needed a map tool mod for manual calcs but, can live with what's there, so desperation averted.

It's ok, I do think it's a post volume thing as Steve stated, read there is a 24 hour antispam thing also, so am confident all will be well tonight.

This post is now too long

Thanks muchly to all

Did you try reaching out to Neal Stevens? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=209959

You may want to try sending him a PM.

Got his email this morning, after I realised I had a lifetime ban!

Turns out my lovely partner, who has access to my PayPal saw the donor transaction, jumped the gun, put in a fraudulent complaint to PayPal, called me after the fact to double check, withdrew the claim and didn't tell me thinking all would be well.

Poor Neal refunded the donation and I copped a ban!.....drama!

Sorry Mr Stevens, looks like the cash went through again and should be no more issues.

Thing is I wasn't fussed with the bonus section, already had an old version of grey wolves from years ago, just thought it was a fair deal to show some support. Really needed DWs ui in the free section.

Either way all sorted, thanks for everyone's help once again and sorry for the hassle Neal.

Wow, that is a drama! I'm glad it's sorted out, though, and happy hunting.
