Raakku Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I made the mistake of buying the premium alpha, which apparently means I can only download the Mac or Linux clients.Meanwhile, desura itself fails halfway through the download every time. Apparently I have to buy the non-premium alpha in order to play?! This is Desura being derpy, I believe. As soon as V16 drops (Any Minute now...), you should be able to download all versions properly from Desura. I seem to have the same problem with the Premium thingie... no windows version available.

Gorlom Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I seem to have the same problem with the Premium thingie... no windows version available. Disappeared for me too (and the regular preorder windows version too). saw them earlier... Think they are in the process of updating to 16.1.

Doctalen Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just bought this. So the reason I can't download is because it is being updated to a new version? Is that why there are no mirrors or a windows version under the download page in the OP too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b15h09 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Curious, is it normal to be Premium, but only have access to the standard versions through the Desura website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 what do you mean? (it's the same versions desura just splits them up because they cost diffrent ammounts... and th badge thingy.) do you really have the non premium version available (I don't have any windows version available) or does it ask you to buy it?

b15h09 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Well, I see deb, rpm, and dmg versions, so no windows version that I see, but the Premium versions of those all want me to pay 29.99. I imagine if it's mid update, things are wonky, but I'm just curious if I'm not on file as a Premium Preorder with Desura, or if this is normal?

Patroclus Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 thank you, it is nice to have option to install the game without Desura client +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That sounds very odd. what does the standard preorder version say? It is possible that you are on file as standard preorder at desura. doesn't really matter though since you got your shiny badge over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b15h09 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Says download now I preordered a good while before Desura came into the picture. If there's no difference in versions, and won't be in the future, I guess it doesn't matter, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 will never be any difference. premium preorders get bonus stuff outside of the game. like the spiffy green title on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b15h09 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thought that was the policy, but seeing 2 download tiers kinda threw me (I always just use the Desura client, first time trying the page). Thanks for helping clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctalen Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This .RAR file isn't working for me. Can someone please tell me when I will be able to download using Desura (Mirrors error) or have I wasted $20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribbstar Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Both seem to be working fine for me right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they are in the process of updating to 16.1. Oh. Ok, that's nice to hear that it's because of the update... I just had little extra free-time and wanted to try the level editor but I guess it's quite impossible without the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) This .RAR file isn't working for me. Can someone please tell me when I will be able to download using Desura (Mirrors error) or have I wasted $20? In what way is it not working? Doesn't download, doesn't unpack, get an error when unpacking, can't install, can't play, crashes when trying to play? Have you tried downloading the rar again? If you keep having problems and can't even fix it with help from Chris it might still be possible that you could get your money back from him. Although I'd hardly call it wasted money. Eventually you will get the option to select a steam key. you aren't locked to desura just because you preordered.

Patroclus Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Downloading zip file now. This feature to DL without using desura is helpful I use my Mac at work since my DL speeds at home are simply atrocious! edit...done! now I can take it home and install on a PC!

To find out if your file wasn't corrupted during download by comparing it's size you need to post you file's size measured in bytes, not megabytes. But more effective way is to calculate your files MD5 checksum code. Than you can compare your checksum with checksum of the same file from other users or developers or may be it can be found on Desura. If it matches than most possibly your file is not corrupted. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5#Applications. Now my question - is it possible to get early versions of the game without preordering it now? Because, as for now, I can't decide if it would be the game I want to buy. Acctualy beta version or demo are OK for making a decision, but I also would like to search for bugs, I also have found a couple of wrong things in my old version of the game that I have and may be to offer some another help, that my, not so big skills, will allow.

Gorlom Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 There is a demo available on the kickstarter page. V 10 compared to the current V 16. Bug reports from that version will be pretty useless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterArmadillo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ah this explains why the direct download is out of date compaired to the desura client install, I'm not downloading for a while either way as the 80k files just takes too long to move about. I hope this is sorted as I do realy like the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
