This is not the place.īut the rest of your post is just not helpful. And yes, I should have put this in tech support. Yes, I will own up to making two mistakes. I have been around these forums long enough to not let the flaming bother me when someone suggest constructive criticism. A little disappointed at the comment though. I was simply suggesting that I have dealt with software companies of BFs size or even smaller in some very niche game fields (like flight simulation and sports management simulation) and I have seen some nifty ways for small companies to distribute product and keep bandwidth costs down.īut saying all that, my problems are now over. My constructive suggestions were not putting down BF. Typically 30-50 GB a week in a mixture of work and entertainment. I can accept that many problems are indeed on the users end. My location needs to be update, I live back in Europe now. It took two e-mails and four days for them to respond and they answer was 'we have no problems on our end' and 'being an overseas customer, you cannot expect fast download speeds' I did e-mail ShareFile (they handle BFs downloads) and they were less than helpful. I say them because the problem is probably not on the end of the user. I also have a top of the line system and my internet is fiber optic and I would venture to guess it is in the top 1% of speeds worldwide. I have not used a download manage since the late 90s. Pretty much the standard 'check your own system and connection' I did in fact drop BF a help desk ticket and they replied very quickly and politely but the advice did not help. The speeds were terrible and the connection kept dropping but finally with enough persistence I got what I needed. After almost two weeks and almost 60 tries I finally re downloaded all three games. If you don't have an IT engineer on hand, maybe your neighbor's 8 year old kid can help? Otherwise this makes it look like an attempt to restart the "why doesn't BF use STEAM" discussion again.Īs an update to my problem. You should check into your own systems and servers before blaming BF. Surprised you didn't post this in Tech Support forum instead of here. Now if I can just get the downloads completed I can update Normandy/Italy to 3.0 and keep my games going and continue work on my very bad user created scenarios. I got Normandy, Italy and Red Thunder and all 3 expansion modules for Normandy/Italy. On a secondary note, I loved the games as I played them over the summer. It is not my internet, I downloaded something off Steam earlier today and was getting 13.5 Mbps.Īre there any alternate ways to download the products? Does BF have a cloud or torrent I could use? The default method through sharefile is just not adequate. Worse, the downloads frequently quit after 10-20% completion. My download speeds run from 25-40 kbps which is unacceptable. I am trying to re-download the three games I purchased over the summer and I am not having any success. In the past 10 days I have relocated to a new residence and am have a new computer set up. I purchased the new CM games back in July and ran them on a temporary computer. Hello everyone, a handful of you might remember me.
