Anywhere else to download Shadow?

[TravellingHat]

Greetings all

Is there anywhere other than Game Flood where I can download Shadow? I'm having no end of trouble, and the withdrawal pains are becoming unbearable I need Svartalfar!

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Check the bug thread, there's a work around there

No joy there, unfortunately. I've tried managed and unmanaged but get a script error every time it gets to "play". I've logged it with Game Flood, but I was just wondering if i had an alternative in the meantime.

Oh well.

I should have a torrent up tomorrow to cover

Hi I found a torrent posted at Mininova

It needs more seeds though.

I'll leave mine uploading ALAP.

If you try to DL the file via "the unmanaged way" you actually have to select the "Dowload via browser" option, not the "play" one

I did also try "dl via browser", but bupkiss.

I've got an email waiting for from Nathan (GF_Nate at Game Flood). I think he's suggesting a way of resetting my preferences and downloading unmanaged. I'm at work at the mo, though, so have to try that out later.

I've got my brother coming round later for a new hotseat game, so I hope I can get the new version downloaded, or it'll be tears before bedtime!

Try some of the troubleshooting from this thread:

...and then post in it if none of that works.

Specifically, check out this post first:

Let me know what happens!

Hi GF Guy. Working on the assumption that you're Nate, I've got a mail from you waiting in my GF inbox, but I'm at the office right now. Will try these out when I got home, and post results for anyone else encountering the same problem.

Yup, that's me, i wish I could change my moniker here to reflect it.

If you have any problems with the download after you change your manager status, you may need to disable anything like ZoneAlarm or any popup blockers. I have been trying to recreate problems on IE6 and FireFox, and both have worked out well, but I am going to be testing more on IE7 today.


Keep me posted!

I'm running IE and don't believe I have any blockers. I've got Symantec AV and firewall, but I did manage to download the previous version through these (after a few attempts) so don't think they're the issue. It appears to perform the install alright, but gives a script error on Play. Looking at the folders, they have a couple of xml files and empty folder called incomplete. I just wish I could remember exactly what I did last time!

Most frustrating, and I'm supposed to be starting a new hotseat game tonight with my brother (the bugger beat me last time with that ridiculously powerful Ljosalfar economy, so I need vengeance).

It's not performing the install, it just thinks it is. Our download manager doesn't handle executable files.

Lol; i wish you swift and bloody vengeance sir!

GFGuy, not that many people look at it, but you can set your custom title to state your identity on Gameflood, might help some.

Sweet; done! Thanks Xienwolf!

I'm pleased to report success. Have got as far as starting a single player game, so reasonably confidant all has gone well.

In the end, I went the "download via browser" route, but it just wasn't working, and appeared to be doing nothing. Running out of options, I turned off my security and bingo. It took just over an hour to download, but it's done at last.

Thanks to all for advice and help, particularly Nate.

Now to visit dark fury on my brother. Victory or death!
