Got the demo early

EDIT: See my post below Gregoshi's
DL is no longer working (At least the one I used) ~:(

You might also hypothetically notice that many hypothetical people are having lots of hypothetical problems trying to figure out how to hypothetically download the demo using the hypothetical tool(s) needed. One might just decide to wait a few hours more and avoid the headaches. Hypothetically speaking, that is.

Hypothetically, yes, many people are having problems. Hypothetically, though, if one had a bit torrent program installed and knew how to use it, it wouldn't be difficult at all. Hypothetically, for me, it took all of ten seconds to begin the download.

And, supposing those hypothetical people download this using bit torrent, they should, hypothetically, leave the bit torrent program open so as to let others download it faster. Hypothetically, that is.

As you said, patience is a virtue. However, not all of us are virtuos as we'd like to be.

EDIT: IMPORTANT: Just checked over at TWC, and it appears that the DL is no longer working for anyone. ~:(

What do I need to do with the file in WinRAR to get it working?

I have version 3.40 beta 5 trial only.

Thanks for any help ~:wave:

just choce 'extract here'

Done that. Do I need to extract anywhere specific?? After extraction I double click the extracted file and have to shut down my pc each time as it no longer responds ~:( Any ideas please ??

The .mdf? You need something called Alcohol 120%, at least that's what the site that I got it from says. However, I keep getting error messages when trying to unzip the .zip ~:mecry:



! C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\RTW\Rome_TW_Demo.zip: Unexpected end of archive
! C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\RTW\Rome_TW_Demo.zip: CRC failed in Rome_TW_Demo.mdf. The file is corrupt
! C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\RTW\Rome_TW_Demo.zip: Unexpected end of archive

Edit: Hmmm. Apprently the download cut off about halfway tru. ~:doh:

I'm finally back! Jeppers it was such a problemo getting back on here my goodness ~:cheers: Thanks to TOSA for setting me back up

Neway I have the same prob. I get it to that mdf format and am stuck I tried winiso,magiciso and nearly everything else mentioned (Couldnt try Daemon, when I find a link its dead) nothing works. Once I got that I had to register to open this file cause it was to big and the rest I get that error.

I dont want to pay for anything, can anyone get it to normal format and perhaps zip it up in winzip and send it out?

I'm leaving with my gf and her family to go camping for a week tomorow so tonight is my only chance to try it! GRRR damn her ma for making me go camping with em during the same time Rome demo is realesed! ~:mecry: GAAA! But errr ya her ma and family take alot of rides during the day, so that means me n her will be alone... :duel: soo err ya I GUESS she can TRY and fill the void of not getting this demo :knight: (Unless I can somehow get this damned thing to work tonight lmao)

Hey if any one has or knows of a place I can DL teh demo I woudl apprecate it! Just Private message me.

thanks!

Fact:

people have the demo

Proposition:

Share via Limewire

Thanks.

no worries, blodrast. it's prolly a leaked version, being that it seems to be in .iso format, so technically it is an illegal version and we wouldnt want anyone being threatened or sued over a demo version, for god's sake. tis cool, mate. i can wait :)

in fact, i can wait much better now. went out and bought doom 3 and the expansion pack for diablo 2 :)

K.

Uhh, it's not an illegal version seeing as the people who originally got it recieved their copies when they pre-ordered at Gamestop. Sharing freeware, last time I checked, wasn't illegal.

it's illegal when the Gestapo Police of CA are concerned! Sure, they want people to DL the demo and play the game, but only on IGN and Fileplanet!! Actually, it is almost amusing at how mad they are getting that people are so excited to play the demo...

In Soviet CA, you don't download the file, the file downloads YOU!

If CA think I'm gonna subscribe to spam central FileWhore to get the demo then I've got news for them.

Having a demo released via a single site is just plain idiotic. Making that single site one as abhorrent as FileWhore is even worse.

Doesn't CA just love to please it's customers? Providing, of course, it's customers pay a hefty fee for sole hosting rights.

This continuing maltreatment of loyal fans has greatly turned me off buying R:TW.

On a totally unrelated note, I learned alot about bit torrent programs trying to download the demo 10 hours ago. (But the DL stopped halfway through ~:( )
