Star Wars: Empire at War
« on: March 03, 2007, 02:53:03 pm »
Okay so I have reinstalled my awesome game Star Wars: EaW then i open it up and go to multi player. After seeing that a new patch is needed to play online I click the "Yes" for d/ling it. The Fileplanet helper pops up and starts d/ling the file so far so good eh? But then i look at the ping on it. 9999 ping. It says data connection error and closes. So I go to www.lucasarts.com for some help getting this elusive patch. After getting their I go through all the menus and crap and I get to the Patches part of teh SW:EaW d/l section. Guess what? It tells me to hit one of two links for either www.Gamespot.com or www.fileplanet.com. Turns out I have to be a member for either site to get my frekin patch! Now I can see why it would give me external links but this is too much. Now I have to scour through my computer to see if I already might have it form before.   >:( This bullsh*t displeases me to no end.

:(

It takes 2 minutes to register and next time you need something from fileplanet or gamespot (which you problably will because alot of patches, trailers, and alot of the gaming related files are uploaded there) you don't need to register again! :O

Empire at war patches automatically, if it requires you to manually download a patch then I seriously don't know what's wrong with your game. (I suppose it could be a firewall blocking outgoing connections, but I never had that problem, and you shouldn't)

I understand your pain conscerning fileplanet, I also hate it. Though I hope you are aware, once you manage to patch your game you'll need a gamespy account anyway to play multiplayer.

I still have my fully registered GameSpy account from 4 years ago, back when it only cost $20 once to be registered for life.

I get free access to fileplanet, too.

Yum yum.

Some people assume it isn't because even if you register the advert comes up.
