I saw this posted a little while ago "over there" and wondered if anyone here had tried it out and if it would be any good as a BD-Multiplayer game?

I decided to search isohunt for the filename instead

fearcombat_en_107.exe


once it gets going it should be a fair bit faster than the direct route

yep - can mail it to you though it would probably be quicker to just go here (http://isohunt.com/torrents?ihq=fearcombat)
edit - or here http://isohunt.com/download/13282697/fearcombat

or add me to msn if you like - button over there <----

Mine's only at 50% this morning - Internet took a massive speed cut when "the boy" returned home and continued on his mission to download the whole internet :undecided:

Hopefully mine will finish today - if not then it'll certainly be ready for tomorrow
If dymetrie has heard right it may be the biggest load of rubbish ever :embarassed:

:( :p


I'm guessing you're on a 2mbps connection then as mine was nearly 5hours once the initial boost had settled - rubbishy 1mbps Wanadoo rubbish, can't wait for the 12 months to be up


edit: arrgghhh and I paused it so it wouldn't interfere with F@H getting a nice new beta WU and when I resumed it reckoned it was complete - doh! Oh well another 5hours then I guess :p

Grabbing this now. Thanks. :)

Strangely it seems to have leveled out at 460ish kbs which is odd cause we only have a 2Mbps line :shocked:

Stan_Lite
26-08-2006, 14:01
There must be a few of us downloading it - my rate has dropped fromm 220 to <160 Kb/s.

I shudder to think what sort of hammering Beansprout's bandwidth is taking :shocked:

Stan :)

only 5 minutes and you can have all the bandwidth back :p

Plenty to spare - this link is in the US though so max speeds will top out around 250k per connection, nut now;t wrong with download managers & multipl connections - enjoy :D

Nope had 460kbs for the full download, all done in just over an hour.

Not bad for a 2Mbps line :D

After all of that I got a corrupted file and it won't install :(

rich99
26-08-2006, 17:14
download accelerator or virus checker maybe?

mine will be done in 16mins - will see if I have the same

i used IDM (Internet download manager) and mine was fine

rich99
26-08-2006, 19:32
all looks fine to me - it may not technically be great but if it's just for a giggle I think it'll be ok

I will probably still be downloading CS:S for $19.99 though as I'm sure that's a lot better for serioius gaming

rich99
27-08-2006, 01:20
I just had a few deathmatches with some of the folk from the other side - was pretty fun but got tedious sometimes when playing against people who just wanted to camp out

I think it depends a lot on who you're playing and on what map - also plenty of game modes available


Just for info :)

I'm actually beginning to really like this, keep sneaking back for the odd game. Been a long while since i've enjoyed some old fashioned DM.

yep same here - popped on this morning just to look round a few different maps on servers with no other users, sooner or later someone would pop on and we'd have a little skirmish then I'd nip off somewhere else :D

My name on there is rich99million so if anyone sees me come shoot me between the eyes and run away lol'ing :p

My torrent is almost finished. If it installs OK I'll shove the file onto a webserver tomorrow and you can try to grab it from there.

My torrent downloaded fine so I'll whack the file onto a webserver when I get to the office (boooooooo!!!) tomorrow.

and if Jhader still can't seem to download it I'm happy to fling it on a DVD his way via snail mail (same goes for anyone else who wants some)

I'm up for some organised rumbles this week whenever's good for others - Wednesday evening is out of course as that's already been set aside for CS:Source - any other evening is fine for me though

I guess we can always just hop on a free server unless anyone wants to host a private server for it

Cheers for the link beany, I'll leave it downloading overnight :) I need some sleep now.

Annoyingly i seem to have developed a problem with this game. Random application errors for no apparent reason. This is a very fresh build of windows and everything else works perfectly so im not sure exactly what's going on :(.

Burble

The download is available at http://thor.pauleagles.com/fearcombat_en_107.exe

OK tried with your version Burble. Got the same thing. Starts install get to: FEARA_7.ARCH00 then comes up with the following message

CRC error: The file FEARA_7.ARCH00 doesn't match the file in the setup's .cab file. The medium from which you are running the setup may be corrupted.

This is the same message I was getting with the other versions I tried.
Would this have anything to do with me choosing a different install directory as I have a seperate drive for games?

Any ideas greatly appreciated :)


EDIT: Just tried installing without changing directory and got the same error :(

Burble
29-08-2006, 15:06
Very odd! I also installed it to a different directory and that didn't give me any problems.

Haly
29-08-2006, 16:21
Just installed it, and I also installed it on a different drive to windows and a different folder than it specified with np. :huh:
