Demo Beta!

Installation was fine.
Played thru Poland and 3 turnes in Norway. Autosave of demo was fine. Loaded that savegame into the full version and works fine.

Only two seperate scenario's are playable, perhaps to unlock one of the later standalone scenario's to give the demoplayer an idea of what other equipment there will be at the player's disposal. Make them drool i'd say

Good show for the demo and terrific marketing strategy

I do toss you guys a thank you for that! I've been with you since the start of Legion days (oiiii...I don't want to think how far back that one was!!) and have enjoyed everything you have put out there.

Installation worked as it should.

Played the english tutorial, things are the same as in the original game. No bugs found.

Load and save from Poland worked so far.

Gratz you guys, this will attract a lot of positive reaction.

Demo installed fine and I played the "mini" campaign of Poland plus 3 turns of Norway without any bugs or hiccups. All links worked for the Buy option and I found no other problems. Haven't played the Tutorial in awhile, so will that a go as well to see if there any problems there. Great work guys; it gives you a good taste of the game and should be an excellent marketing tool.

The product is ready to deliver.

I played through the Panzer School, Poland and first three turns of Norway. Everything worked great. I even loaded the End of Demo save from within my full version and it let me continue from where I left off successfully! Well done! I had forgotten how fun the tutorial is. This is really a very generous demo with lots of gameplay, should hook in a lot of new players!

One thing I thought you guys should be aware of, the player has access to the cheat console during the demo, i wanted to make sure that there was no potential for funny business by using the endscn command during Norway, and it didn't do anything, but I still thought I should bring it up just in case you want to totally disable it.

If I remember correctly, in the demo all cheats will work, except for the "endscn" one, so demo players are forced to actually play the game...

Thanks guys great feedback.

For those asking for the differences in this demo - I don't know what you mean. This is the first and only demo we have done!

The idea of a few turns in a late war scenario is interesting. I'll see if it can be done easily but not sure at this stage.

This time I saw it from the beginning til the end, this is really good but I wonder how different it is from the original demo, did you add something ?

Hi Robert! I think you confused "demo" with "tutorial".

Demo version is a special version of the game that will be available for download for free and with no serial numbers involved, so that anyone can try the game before buying it. Demo version does include the tutorial campaign too, and it also includes the beginning of the main campaign. But then you need a full version to continue playing.

Hi.
How big is your PanzerCorpsWehrmacht-Demo-v104.exe file?
It should be 400 MB (419.953.356 bytes)

Have you used the password to unlock it? pzc-demo-10-11-1
You can have corrupted download.
You can always try to unzip in Windows Safe Mode just to be sure that it is corrupted.

chris57 · Post by **chris57** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 2:21 pm

I have tried it in safe mode also, used the password, I could try a fourth time to down load it, but I have no hopes that it will work after downloading it 3 times.

Sometimes the internet security programs, interfere with the downloads.
It's rare, but I've seen it happen.

CarstenHell · Post by **CarstenHell** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 7:47 pm

Same problem as chris57

I downloaded three times and everytime at un-rar-ing I get the message that there's a CRC-error in the coded file/ wrong password... [CRC-Fehler in der verschlüsselten Datei PanzerCorpsWehrmacht-Demo-v104.exe (Falsches Passwort?).]

But somehow I doubt that I'm the only one using Norton as security program.

VPaulus · Post by **VPaulus** » Sat Nov 12, 2011 7:58 pm

Yes probably you're not the only using the security program. But not everybody has Norton and Windows configured the same way.

However the link is the same for everybody, and so the server where is the file.

Try to write down the code instead of copy and paste.

I use Kaspersky, and it's configed perfectly I think the file is the problem.

I'm finishing downloading it now, again.
I'll report back in a couple of minutes.

Edit: Just downloaded the file for the third time. It's not the file nor the link. It's working.
Try to write the password instead of copy and paste. It wouldn't be the first time that this would work.

Another tip here, for those who use Internet Explorer: viewtopic.php?t=29279
Or try with a different browser.
