Ehm... AACW lost (again) due to OS crash

Thu Aug 12, 2010 8:17 pm

Guys,

I was pushing the Yankee invader back into Maryland when *poof* my computer died, again. I know Philippe Malacher from AGEOD was so kind as to provide me with a new way to download it via email.

Could I ask you to do this again? I have the original purchase email and everything.

Many thanks!

In the meantime, I am going to see if I can get sound to work again on this thing.

Wow! That's bad luck! :(
I think your computer was more yankee than Sherman, and therefore could not consent what was happening. Try that next computer has southern heart :D :thumbsup:

Indeed, I squarely blame Yankee infiltrators and defeatists for this disaster.

The strange thing is that my computer self-destructed (at least parts of it) and I am still playing AACW (getting a lot of good ideas while commuting and thinking of my next move....).

I had the same thing happen to me a few months back, an email with your customer info should get you the download link. Once you download it though it's highly recommended you save it to a disk or some other backup if for nothing else just to save yourself from having to download a 400+ MB file again.

400 MB is... about 400 seconds, make some coffee, smoke some 'baccy, install patch and done.

Hi!
Well, in fact you are "supposed" to properly backup your game file after download so you can reinstall in case of problems.
AGEOD guys are very nice and don't mind resending a download link to someone that has lost his game and don't have a backup copy. But i think that should probably be seen more like an exceptional occurrence and not the "standard procedure".
Surely the "Philippes" could do better using their time developing new cool games than checking people on their customers database and resending download links aroudn, don't you think? ;)
Hope you manage to backup the file this time. Its ultra easy and takes less than 400 seconds :neener:

Cheers
