Post by latourette »

I cannot down load this game. It says I NEED Something else to be downloade previously. It tells me to go back and download it. I can not find anything. It also says I have a mac WHEN IT EXPLIVTLY KNOWS I HAVE A pc. I have bougt 2 copies of this game and can not play either one. What do I need to download and where is it? And it better be for a PC

First things first. When you purchased Endsieg, did you have this "PC" button pressed/highlighted? Because if you clicked "Mac" by mistake, then you got the Mac version downloaded. See if you can go back to the web site and download the PC version instead or use the contact information in your purchase confirmation e-mail message to contact Slitherine for an exchange or refund.

Secondly, I am guessing that "It says I NEED Something else to be downloade previously" means you are missing the base game, which is FREE. Endsieg, Sandstorm, etc., are add-ons to the base game and you need the base game installed in order to play them. Here's a quick visual tutorial as to how to get it:

That's as far as I could go because, as you can see, you need a Slitherine membership account. Log into it if you have one or register for a new one; it's not a big deal as they don't ask for much information.

So eventually, you will arrive at this screen and I have highlighted the two files that you need to download:

Run OoBWWII-MultiSetupRelease-v7.1.4 first and then install OoBWWII-MultiUpdateComp-v7.1.6. Once you have done this, then go back and open OrderOfBattle-Endsieg-SetupRelease-v7.1.4 to install Endsieg. It will ask for your product key at some point.

So what happens then? When you start the game, you see this splash screen first which is self-explanatory:

This is what I wanted to show you, however:

The icon with the white star on a green field is "Boot Camp" which comes with the free base game. All the other icons on the map are purchasable add-ons or DLC. Endsieg, when you click on it as I have, will be glowing and ready for play. Other DLC that you have purchased will have colored icons as shown here (I have all of them). If you did not buy one yet, the icon will be closed, grey, and look like a shut eye.

I hope this helps.
