Kevlon Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Are you actually going to make FC avalabole for download again? OR are you guys just going to wait for the CD version to come out and hope that the people that are waiting for the Download version is just going to "go away/dissapear" Be honest now, and tell us if you'r able to get the download back on track or not. It's bether to tell us now than, lets say 3 weeks from now. Only to say that "sorry, the download option didn't work out, but HEY! you can just order the CD! " [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Pilotasso Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 They already said it would come as soon as possible I dont think they are delaying it for some conspiracy reason and then shoot themselves on the foot. If they hadnt already its because they didnt managed to have the visa setup yet, nothing more, these things take time. .
Kevlon Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 i only hope your right... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ZoomBoy27 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 It's in their financial interest to get this up and running properly. They have the 1.2 coming out. That's a big chunk of change to miss out on especially when Simware et al take their cut.

ECV 56 Gorrion Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 The waiting is starting to kill us heh? Yes, a download option is my only chance to take FC 1.1
Stormin Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Do you mean to imply that ED is being dishonest and that they are somehow being deceptive? Come on. They obviously want to resume sales with the download option but both PayPal and Verisign have presented obstacles to this effort.
Guest Cali Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Do you mean to imply that ED is being dishonest and that they are somehow being deceptive? Come on. They obviously want to resume sales with the download option but both PayPal and Verisign have presented obstacles to this effort. They said 1 week after the download was out that people could pay with a visa/mastercard, and that was almost 2 weeks ago. I downloaded it as soon as it came out so I was one of the luck ones. There are a ton of people just waiting for it. Can ED give us a update instead of keeping us in the cold?
S77th-Souless Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Stormin i will refer you to the lock on site that provided the patches from 1.0 to 1.02 and i quote from the page " This is the second patch for Lock On: Modern Air Combat and is designed to address many of the significant bugs identified with the initial release of the product. This patch is however not designed to fix all identified bugs. We plan to provide additional patch(es) that will address problems not fixed in this first patch." Have they done that?....the answer is no. Instead they provide a add on at a cost that is so bugged it should never have been released. Did this add on address all the probelems or fixes for the game in its current form?...the answer again is no. When you ask have they been deceptive? I have to say no. Will I believe another thing they say the answer is....no

It would suprice me if what i first posted will actually happen.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Yeah, the waiting and lack of information is just getting very,very stupid!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Rastus Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 All we are asking for is infomation........ I understand that this thread is not a place to complain, just a honest plea for any info available. If we have to wait for the CD version, fine, we will wait. This not knowing causes us to have to check every day to see if FC is available. Every day there is more speculation, frustration and critisisms which achieves nothing, and no real infomation. I did read a post saying you will not be using verisign, but cannot find it now. Are you looking for other ways of direct payment ? If so, I wish you luck and apoligise for not being able to directly help. If you were to post a sticky saying "we are looking for other methods", others in the community may be in this field and be able to assist. The small community is allready split in two, with the two versions, and we are hurting. Much as you are hurting due to lack of sales. Please, lets work together. Remember ED..we WILL support you to the best of our abillity, all we ask is a little "up to date" info. Thanks RASTUS :) 1
Stormin Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 While I don't feel anyone at ED has been deceptive, I will agree that they need a regular spokesperson to interact with the online community. I've made that very suggestion to them several times. While I do have several friends and colleagues at TFC/ED, I am not in any position, nor would I want to be, to provide anyone with regular updates.
S77th-GOYA Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 The ED offices must be a very tense place right now. Unable to sell the product that supposed to finance their future, while enough copies have been downloaded so that you know crackers are hard at work trying to steal their future. I would imagine that if someone from ED posted to us here, it would be a prolonged scream.
Prophet_169th Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I just find it hard to believe, that all russian companies, without a US bank account, are unable to do business in the US. There has to be other option. Like I posted in the payment forum, have they thought about doing it old school and taking checks or money orders or something. It may be slow, but you would still be selling the product.

Prophet_169th Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Also, from what I have read on the internet, ever since the Patriot Act no offshore business can get a US bank account. And since the litigation with Paypal over here, it was ruled that they were a bank, and so this is probably where ED had problems. Supposedly though, I have read some stuff that say you can get a US bank account with a TIN (in place of a SSN) and a US postal address.

Prophet_169th Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Not sure if any of those would work. Just seems odd that there is no way for a company to do e-commerce these days. I thought it had caught on everywhere, not just US. It appears though, that most of these places charge quite a bit if you dont have a US bank account. Maybe this is the reason ED hasnt chosen a service yet, they are all just too expensive for the level of business they will do. Best bet, may be just to wait for the box. 1

I would imagine that if someone from ED posted to us here, it would be a prolonged scream. You are making the incorrect assumption that the V1.1 FC product was intended for the Western market. It was created as a product for the Russian/CIS market and published in that market by 1C. The sales of this product to the West has the potential to make profit, but it is not the primary market for this particular product. I don't believe that things are very hectic at ED. They are most likely working on the next product.
