I suck at mod stuff i cant count the times i messed up the demo trying lol. Something i would love to see today or tmw would be a pop cap for the retail version for space battles of 30(instead of 20) and 15 for land battles (instead of 10) Also one that slows all movement between planets by atlest 1-2full game days. Again sorry for bugging you guys for this and thanks in advance

LOL no that is good IMO most companys wait 1-3months before they patch and every single game out the door needs a patch no game works 100% bug free on all systems.

well if it worked on your other system fine you might try exchange the main drive and testing that (if you know how) to see if its the drives or not.

man that does suck either bad disk or it dont like your drivers is only thing i can think off sorry.

try downloading the patch then running the game to see if it works?

its your drive then, there are rare case's when the protection systems like securerom and starforce etc.. just wont read right in the cd/dvd crd etc.. drives it is rare but does happen.

still didnt read did you?

well you have to use your imagination if you have 1 unit with 7 and 1 with 1 at the end of the battle they put the loaner in with the 7 and send 4 new xwings to bring it back up to 12, coruse these numbers are not the squad size's eaw use's i think there 7?

i was quoting someone off the offical forums so no idea lol but it would make sense in a way that they would scrap a lone fight and put it in with another squad.

And while capital ships are repaired instantly after battle you will lose fighter wings and ground troops if a majority of their unit is killed. Seems speeds in the demo where not as jacked up as they claimed.

unplug your net and try if that dont work your dvd/cd drive etc.. is having problems with the protection system.

well i belive him, all you have to do is match the number he gave with the Macedonia store i caleld them and they do have it and they are selling it today. He got realllllly lucky i called 16 stores within 50miles of where i live and all have it, but wont sell it till tommorrow seems he got an employ who did not read the paper work and just stuck in on the shelf today.

LOL i called and they do have it and he said he would even hold a copy for me if i really wana drive sevral hours to get, now i just need a map to figure out if the drive is worth it.

UMMM where is this? lol i live in ohio near cinncy and south of colubus, any idea how far that is? or give me a pm with the stores number and addy so i can go pick a copy up haha.

prove it

LOL it seems he knocked off a big chunk cause of base building, and i fully expect alot of reviews to do the same, because none of them can get a un-biased review they are all tained by what they want and expect rather then rating games based on what they offer.

nope i paid for mine last year in full, yet i am told by all 3 local game stores "yes we have it but cant sell it till tmw" i said i already bought it so you already sold it lol i just wana pick it up, and they repeat the same line.

Lucas seems to have orderd them to hold them for a world realse tmw rather then letting us pick it up when it came in

Availability: This item will be released on February 16, 2006. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives. hehe even amzon is not shiping it tonight so not for sure why you thought you was getting it early.

ebgames is shiping them on the 15th so they should arive in stores on the 16th time of day will vary depending on when the ups truck stops at your local store. If you orderd it online then its still the 16th and time of drop off depends on when the truck hits your door

i pre-orderd from ebgames but they pushed there ship date back to the 15th a day later

well it has been stated sevral times that the speed in the demo is jacked up much higher then then retail, and as shown with mods can be even made slower if it is still to fast come next week.

gamespot makes money thru add's and thru bribes thats nothing new, and most game mags do the same. Personaly i dont trust any reviews for the simple fact no one even gives a truly honest unbiased opinion any more.They all add in there own personal view on how something should have been done looks etc..
