Speed sucks... 16KB/s... maximus... US serv sucks... 

[IPAndrews]

I'm sure it's worth the wait.

[KOCTbIJIb]

you bet ( guess it is right time say shis fraze)... just complains of mine, sorry

[Cavane]

Well, when we no longer have our own server for downloads, it just goes with the territory that we'll have to use free servers, and that they will be slow.  But don't let that keep you away, it is definately worth the wait. 

[madaboutgames]

Might take a while, but dont have much choice for hosting, (beggars can`t be choosers!).  Its worth the wait!!!

[starfox]

Commencing download...It's going to be long, but worthy wait

368 MB ?!? ....that's a lot of CB anis. But at least I get around 40 kB/s.

Just downloaded it. Created a fresh install and copied it accross. Started up watching the intro credits, and then there was no campaign to select, and no missions to start.  Any ideas what's gone wrong?

[Megadoomer]

Tried it in my normal TBP folder and the campaign appeared, I just didn't have the opening credits sequence.

[djhardrock]

just dl and installed the campaign followed the readme now it wont start game grrhhh  any ideas??

[Whitelight]

Hmm, i`m getting 106 kbs for download speed, so i`m not doing to bad... 57 minuets till done.. I love having cable.   

[Megadoomer]

djhardrock try moving the downloaded files to your normal tbp folder (not a new clean build) that worked for me, but as I've said it lost me the opening sequence.

Mission 3 appears to have an no end problem - the EAS Trinity was destroyed before the Raider carrier jumped, the should we chase message was sent by 'EA pilot' and the mission didn't end, I tried several time compressed minutes but nothing happened. Also mission 3 is hard, though mostly because the entirety of wave 4 appears to attack the trinity from inside it's engine wake  , and the trinity's seemingly eratic movements make it very vunerable to blind side attacks. Giving up for now as frustation>enjoyment. Will go back to it tomorrow, when I have time 

Oh yes and on mission 3 you suddenly lose control of your ship (no weapons fire, movement etc) if I try restarting without returning to the briefing/ready room.

Sorry I didn't have the time to help play test madaboutgames

 (not a new clean build) you mean the old fs2_open_r.exe =[

[Megadoomer]

When I installed it I reran the TBP base 3.2 installer on a seperate and new directory to my existing one (which I I've downloaded newer builds, etc for). Trying to run it from this new directory resulted in the opening animation being played (which starts before you enter a username I think) but with no campaigns listed. Copying the heat-em-up files and running them from original directory (the one with various changes
to it) and I was able to start playing the campaign but lost the opening animation.

Hope that helps. If it doesn't the only thing I can think to try is to copy one of the existing campaign like raider wars accross to your heat em up directory and see if that appears in the campaign list.

[Megadoomer]

Just tried installing raider wars in my heat em up TBP folder, the files extracted as expected but the RW campaign was listed either, so there obviosuly some issue with loading campaigns. For information -  the intro still ran after installing RW's.

[Megadoomer]

Woops disregard everything I said. I haven't got heat em up to work at all. I was playing the Black Hand Demo. That'll teach me to read things more carefully. *kicks self* Doh.

On the other hand the Black Hand Demo isn't bad.

[Whitelight]

Hmm, it doesen`t show up in the campaign room for me eather..
So I tried the following, open the B5HeatEmUpDemo.vp, which is 323mb with vpview..

I used  ver. 1.3 (build29) but it shows an empty window, that, can`t be right... or.......

Is there a limit to the size of a file that vpview can open?

(edit) I originally wanted to extract the tables to the game directories, figured i`d mention that.
