Downloading it now - but my Nildram connect is a bit screwy at the mo. Once it arrives I'll get it on the ftp (fairly chunky -500Mb plus another 50Mb map pack).

Been a long time in coming and looks pretty good. Only downside is that it'll still be BF1942 :(

Tempted to reopen my fileplanet subscription lately just for all these mods. Wonder if BW could become one of their mirrors or something if they loaned out some bandwidth.

Go on, you know you want to :)

I've been looking forward to downloading this MOD since I heard of it.....last week....

Having checked Fileshack, Fileplanet, Filechickens, Filebadgers to name a few file sites all of them are overloaded. So here I sit staring at the GAME ftp MOD list, hoping and praying it appears soon or I may have to go back to playing DC again :p

It'll be on the ftp tomorrow morning - managed to eventually dl it but my broadband is dropping connections like crazy so it'll have to wait until I get to the office.

Maps look OK, particularly the Russian ones, but I wonder if there's too much realism at the expense of playability - no bombs on the fighters, one torpedo per torpedo bomber etc. Some of the weapons mods, particularly the tanks (Sherman Firefly and some nice German variants) are well modelled (the Swordfish torpedo bomber is lovely), but its bolt-action rifles instead of automatics (albeit faster firing than in vanilla BF) and some of their 'home grown' models (BF110, Dakota etc) have already been done better in the various BF expansion packs. Others, like the light tank/armoured car in the Crete level are just misconceived - its so slow and lightly armed no-one will use it.

Sorry.

It looks like its a router compatibility problem - apparently there's a chipset thats having problems with BT/Nildram's latest Cisco kit; its affecting certain Netgear, D-Link and Solwise routers (so thats the three most popular brands then...). I've just found this out, which makes me wonder why BT are sending an engineer round if its a known problem...

DaGaffer - Thanks for the info. No need to be sorry, it's not always simple to get hold of large, popular files especially if you're having connection issues (hugs Pipex).

I managed to get hold of it via another source and I'm just about done downloading the map file. Phew, hope it's worth it :)

Thanks again.

Well it installed fine, no errors at all, unlike some others who had problems.

I LOVE the Typhoon, it handles brilliantly and is great for diving bombing with the rockets (no bombs I know, but meh) The FW109, one of my old faves from IL2 is again, great to handle albeit a little twitchy until you get used to it.

AA guns are a vast improvement over the official ones in Vanilla BF. Tanks, nout special, they're tanks ;) AND most importantly the jeeps 'meep meep'. That is vital ;)

Still no one brings a Sturmovik into a MOD, wonder why?

This mod sounds great, I'll download it tonight if BW have it up.

Being an ex-WW2OL person, I've always wanted the "realism" back, playing with 1940 equipment is going to rock, I was getting to be a good shot with the old bolt-action K98.

File 1of2 appears to be corrupt, 2of2 executes fine.

Grr noticed my file is only 409mb whereas the one on the FTP is 429. Any way I can try resuming it? Don't think IE supports that sort of stuff.

Been trying that but it seems to reject my username and password. I've been through pretty much every username/email address/password combination I can think of and it won't let me in.

Grr, and stuff.

UK FTP & Fast server problem.

Hi,

Ive tried downloading "rgottenhope05b_1of2_main.exe" twice from both the UK FTP & Fast Servers but once its completed downloading and I run the file to install and then get prompted with "invalid data error".

The other file "rgottenhope05b_2of2_maps.exe" is fine but I havent installed completley as yet due to not installing "file 1".

Any reason for this? or anyone else had the problem?

Hi,

Anyone know where else I can download Forgotten Hope from?

The one on the Game FTP servers doesnt work when starting the install, get "invalid data file" or similar.

Ive tried with FilePlanet but for some reason that site doesnt like me as I can never ever login, whenever I enter my username/password it goes back to the frontpage and I'm not logged in! .. this goes around and around in circles.

Looks like corrupt downloads for this particular file are problems on multiple gaming sites.

did you try installing the main installer 1st?

If you mean the file: "rgottenhope05b_1of2_main.exe", then yes I tried to install this first and got the "data error" message.

-----------------
ftp://ukftp.game.net/pub/games/battlefield1942/mods/forgottenhope/rgottenhope05b_1of2_main.exe
-----------------

"rgottenhope05b_2of2_maps.exe" works fine but I havent gone through the full installation of this file due to the 1st file not working.

Ive tried this from both the Fast Sub FTP & UK Subs FTP, both gave the same problem.
