!!!AATF DEMO RELEASED!!!

[Patrick Proctor]

Also, if you installed the BETA demo version, make sure you uninstall it, using "Add/Remove Programs" from the control panel, and THEN install the DEMO.

thank you for the support.
Tonight, once I get home, I'll check the IE version and try with the video settings. I hope to succeed in running the game, otherwise I will contact you by mail as suggested

I definitely recommend, if you downloaded the BETA DEMO, uninstalling it and then installing the Release DEMO. Several people have had issues with the game not starting at all, and this fixed their problem immediately.

I downloaded the demo a few days ago, and have been really enjoying it so far!

However, the longer I play a scenario, the slower the game seems to get. This is especially noticable in the second scenario, which starts slowing down to the point of being unplayable once the reinforcements arrive, and inevitably crashes soon after.

I'm running a P4 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon screen card with 64MB of memory, so it seems my system should definitely be able to handle the game.

Has anything like this been happening to anyone else, and/or does anyone know what to do about it? I've tried pretty much all possible combinations of graphics settings, to no avail.

I still have problems with the demo, too, but I cannot even launch a scenario. The game freezes once I press the "Campaign Scenario" button. This happens on my desktop PC (3 ghz P4, 1 GB ram, NVIDIA Geforce 5200 Fx 128 mb). Instead, the demo runs fine on another machine, a laptop(3,2 ghz P4, 1 gb ram, ATI radeon 9700 128 mb).
I tried all the possible graphic settings, but without results, too.
I came to the hypotesis that it is a video card issue, even if I installed on both machines the latest drivers.

Delta,

You are operating at the minimum system specs in video memory for the game (64MB). It sounds like you are running out of video memory.

I would suggest the following:
[*]Ensure that every unneccessary process is closed[*]Make sure the display is set to 16-bit color.[*]If the problem persists, try switching from "picture" icons to "NATO symbol" icons for vehicles. This uses much less video memory.

Let me know if this doesn't solve the problem. You can contact me at:

Nicdain,

This sounds like the game is freezing while trying to open the HTML file containing the scenario selection pages. This suggests that the game may be locking up due to a firewall warning.

Please ensure that your firewall is set to allow, or at least silently (without warning window) block the demo. Otherwise, your computer will hang on a firewall blocker window that you cannot access.

Running the game in windowed mode might or might not allow you to break out of the game to close the window, if this is the problem.
