Hmmm - that issue doesn't ring a bell. Can you remind me please

Hi,
Just downloaded the app update on my iPad, selected the new Normandy campaign, selected it and the ok tick to buy but it just hangs on the waiting screen with the timer going up. Eventually i get the X to close the waiting screen.

Was I too quick to try and download it?

I keep getting some CRC error popup the last two patches. Of course I can't run the game in 2.3 or 2.1 so I'm stuck in 1.54 mode. Says I have to reinstall everything, but I'm not giving up all the work I did setting it up before and the mods I use looking for them. Patches should work wether you have mods installed or not. Typical of Slitherine and Matrixgames to make a patch that doesn't work or causees crashing had simular problems with DW and its patches.

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the patches, but I'm afraid that CRC errors are typical related with a corrupted installation of the game and not related with the mods or the patch themselves. Of course, generally speaking if a mod is not correctly installed or is not full compatible with the new patch it might break the game, but usually that's not related with CRC errors.

I can't download the new Rommel campaign either. Re-installed game and managed to get hold of all my previous purchased games but can't download the new one. This is on an iPad 3.

[Philkian]

Dasbeasten, we had some last minute issue with the Apple uploading process. We hope to solve this in short time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I would suggest reinstalling the base game and then applying the patch. Where exactly in the installation process do you get the error message? It might be better to start a new thread in the BA Tech Support forum so we can more easily track and help with this issue.

Hi Pip,

on the custom scenario FUEL_DEPOT_3 that I designed, I changed the background music track to something ahem more interesting for the theme of the scenario, but alas, iPad users reported that they cannot hear the new music track. I am on a PC and PC players can hear it just fine.

Regards,

I just updated to 2.3 but then when I click multiplayer it advises me "the server has been unable to validate your details". I see my serial is still registered so I need help getting back into my multiplayer games.

Thanks.

Can you open a thread in Tech Support so we can work out the issue.

Thanks

I'm in the UK. Can't download the new campaign either. I updated to 2.3.

[pipfromslitherine]

Unfortunately the new Rommel campaign is not yet purchasable on iPad at all. We are obviously as keen as you guys to make it available!

Cheers
