Pics or Ban

 

Damn I wish I had LogMeIn now. I have to wait till I get home to start the downloads. Bought the preorder, just have to figure out how to get those links when I get home now.

just look on the dcs site there you can find all the dl links

 

btw people use the torrent, it gets faster and faster as more ppl join in :)

Feels a bit like a horse race except you can't see the other horses. (59 mins left)

Login isn't required; the servers are overloaded and that's the error you get. Grab the torrent, it will go quicker.

 

If it's overloaded, why is it requesting a usename / PW in a fraction of a second then?

So, is the $60 price tag a special "high price" for pre-purchase including beta versions or will the regular version cost as much?

I don't like to be cheap but $60 is quite a lot for a PC game/sim.

wow :shocking: ... I can't believe what"m reading... someone pinch me... it's really happening! :bounce:

 

Thanks ED / Wags :thumbup:

You are pre-purchasing the Final version with access to the Open-Beta as an added bonus.

Setup-2.bin is taking way too long. :cry:

 

I have cable internet capable of 10Mbps and the files are downloading at 50Kbps. Estimated time 13.6hrs. This is gonna suck.

[Feuerfalke]

So what you are saying is that I can't run it at full speed but I can still run it just with minor details right?:huh:

 

I'm just explaining what recommended and minimum requirements means for gaming in general.

 

How many FPS you will have with your machine running DCS:A-10C, well, I can't tell you unless you test the beta and post your results.

 

But the sim will not be locked, deny installation or something, if you don't meet the requirements, if that's what you mean.

It is the price of the regular version, and it isn't too much; $60 is a pretty average price, and you're getting something a bit more than just a game.

Sigh...time to pull out the old, overused card from my wallet. I have a way of hating myself, yet ED has a way of making me feel better about it. :cry:

If you regard this as a "game" then I can see why you think it's a bit dear. :music_whistling:

[Moa]

$60 is very reasonable given the relatively smaller user base and complexity of the sim (long development time). If you were a military quartermaster you'd be paying a *lot* more per seat for essentially the same thing.

 

Now, time for ED to let us know what comes next in the DCS series (just kidding).

 

Also please remember this is a beta release. Bugs *are expected* so report them calmly and precisely so they can get fixed.

[HiJack]

Yes you can install both of them, as far as you are aware Track Ir is not yet implemented withjin 64 Bits Version.

Aha! ;) That solves my problem!

Many console games cost this and this is a PC sim with a smaller market then say, Call of Duty. How many flight sims come out a year in this day and age. Price is very reasonable IMHO.

I just downloaded and it only took 40seconds. I hope I got everything for my 59. bucks.

[Druid_]

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ (2 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory: 3060MB RAM

 

Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4670

Display Memory: 1781 MB

Dedicated Memory: 507 MB

Shared Memory: 1274 MB

 

I don't want to waste $55 on something I can't run. So can someone answer will it run on mine or not?

OK. CPU is fine, Memory is fine. Graphics Card ... it should have 512Mb dedi memory NOT 507Mb (where did you get that figure from?). If it does have 512Mb then it meets the min specs, but only just.

Did you download all 4 files, or just the setup file??

thats just the 22k torrent file. lol

[therion_prime]

Am I the only one that has these DL problems?

 

1) The FTP Servers request a login which doesn't work.

 

2) The HTTP 1 Server link takes me straight to the DCS main page

 

3) Only HTTP 3 Server is working veeeery slowly.

What are you saying you mean with only 507mb of dedi memory it barely meets the minimum. Guess I'm out. i can't afford another video card.:cry: i never know which memory to look at for a graphics card: dedicated, shared, or display?

 

i got the figure from dxdiag

[=Panther=]

Where the seeders go?? The download went from 22 minutes to 6 hours.... I want to cry. Time to walk away and go entertain myself with something else. Should be done by then, I hope.

 

BTW: Thanks TFC/ED for providing pre-purchase and beta access.

Or maybe not. My cell phone was just shipped to me today after the original broke down. Minus 1 battery. Turns out the battery is almost as expensive as DCS :music_whistling:

[sweinhart3]

Dude your fine. Video reqirements of 512MB are for running at high resolutions and max detail.

[shackman]

sigh of relief thanks sweinhart. 1 question though that 512 was for minimal requirements and that is to be run at max? huh?

[Sov13t]

Congratulations to ED!

 

Open-Beta is a great step that allows the community to help as much as possible, I hope it will make the final release that much better for everyone who chooses to wait.

 

Will be downloading when I get home.
