You must have a very large HDD...
What do you do when you run out of space?
I don't have a problem with the size of this game.
And yes! The discs are not on the cheap side at the moment. Most of us have other expenses in life. |
I have close to 1TB space, so when I run out of space I delete old shit I no longer need.

So how long is it taking everyone to download this game?
I'm 18 hours in and only at 22% on Bittorrent.

Torrent? Haha, I guess that's why it's taking you so long.

Bittorrent is usually the fastest method for me. Especially for shows.
What do you use?

Remove the intro video and wav files and replace with dummy files, remove directx, delete your non-standard manuals except for your language. I think it'll fit then.
Good enough that I went out and picked this puppy up this afternoon. EB didn't have Silent Hunter but they had this.

DVD-DL media usually costs ~$7/each CDN so its not bad. Hell.. AoW is actually a waste of DL as its only 5.5gb out of almost 9gb! Bah! Anyway.. its only one game out of hundreds that come out.
That rip solution of yours is kinda not the greatest - ya gotta keep the intro to a game like this! It sets the appropriate mood! heheh.
Btw.. I ASK EVERYONE:
HAS ANYONE TRIED to simulate LAN over Internet using some Tunnelling software to get MP working locally? Should work.. Stooz.. yer usually on this! hehe
Oh wait.. people are still downing it.. yep.. its a monster!

I'm behind a router, I can use battlelan with a friend (me hosting) who doesn't have a router, but not with a friend who has a router (me hosting).
Maybe this is fixed with NAT negotiation (patch 1.03, which of course, hasn't been cracked yet).

Okie.. so at least it does work with BattleLan.. Router or not.. at least DirectConnect works. Perhaps the readme mentions the something about what ports to open. Still.. at least its something. Game should work behind a Router using BattleLan or other tunneling app.
So lets see:
You (Router) are HOST
Friend (Router) are JOINER
JOINER cannot join your game UNLESS he goes DirectConnect? Seems like an issue with the network you guys have setup.. maybe a config needed. Did you open all ports on your Router?

It aint an issue with the network, Router Host -> Router Joiner doesnt work. It's because 1.03 isn't cracked which allows NAT negotiation.

Game has a LOT of videos, I don't think removing just the intro would be enough
Perhaps downsampling them (they're very high quality, considering it's a PC game, not a movie dvd)

in honor of Billy "wicked" Wilson i shall say to XnonameX :"Well slap my ass and call me Sally!" It worked with i6comp. I couldn't find the frontend for it, but i'm still good enough with the command line. I copied the contents of the dvd image to a temp dir, opened the data2.cab with the command l (for list, to find out what the biggest files are). There are datav and datas (presumably for video and audio respectively) for each language, i.e. datav_en.dat, datav_de.dat, datav_fr.dat and so on. If you delete the v and s files for all the languages except en you get a game that is roughly 3,6 gb in size. Just grab an app like Ultraiso to make an image out of that (could probably use Nero just as well but that's what i did), Use AOW as label and burn away on a DVD5 Might as well add the nocd from RELOADED while you're at it, cause obviously the copyprotection won't like the dvd you made . Worked for me.

Is it me, or is the skirmish AI on Act of War fuckin insane? I get my ass handed to me vs. 1 medium army every time.
They rush and expand so fast its unreal.
That or I must be overlooking something important in terms of strategy. I beat the SP campaign in roughly 10 hours on hard (the second one down), but this just doesn't compare.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Hmm...
Read the manual but for the life of me I can't figure out if there is a "force attack" button.
In the first mission I just wanna see if I can blow up some cars but can't find the command to 'force' an attack. Only attack and move...

I don't know why there's all this talk of complicated ripping. The problem seems to be that the group used the European disc for this release. It's been said on the game's official forums that the European disc contains loads of foreign language files and that the American DVD just has English files. Couldn't they have made a release with the American disc and shaved down the size of it? Perhaps enough that it would not require these dual-layer discs that everyone is talking about?

Just beat 1 medium consortium army on skirmish using US army.
The key is to choke those resources early and FAST. First thing I did was to expand to at least 2 neighboring oils, put my barracks at the one closest to the enemy side, and pumped out anti tank infantry to garrison in whatever was available (in this instance, 2 towers. Once I had 3 oils going, I teched up to the next level, and started mass pumping abrahms, with a few mlrs and apaches for good measure. Was a cakewalk after that, but had a few close calls till then.
Also got lucky since that forward base was attackable from only one side (its that 2 player map with the plateus with oil on htem) otherwise woulda been screwed.
Any other strategies/observations guys?

If you want to know how to best beat the computer take a map with 4+ players and surrender immediately. Then just watch what computer does playing against himself. Tbh there is no way to defeat like 3 computers in a freeforall. The amount of units they pump out and the management of them all is INSANE. Skirmish sucks in this way unless it's 1on1. Pvp should be fun though.
