By the sounds of things it seems not many people have patched their game. So maybe a way that you have to patch the game before you go online.

Hell, I haven't even brought the game yet (well, will in 1 min when it runs out on ebay at 99p! tonguegre )

[phphph]

...and yes, it's the common error as Sp4re mentioned.

I have downloaded the patch, but of course, it cannot be installed, because it can't find a version of the game itself installed. Of course it can't because it's only the demo.

So I wonder, does Atari think that I would buy this game when even the demo doesn't work?

I have a 10-year old son aching to buy it, and me, the grumpy one, doesn't permit him when I can't get the demo working.

Any suggestions on how to get the demo to work?

I promise I will buy the game right after.

The game Crashday in my opinion was one of the best racing / wrecking games ever released. The only other game to come close was Destruction Derby 2. But I am far from a happy customer.

The marketing for crashday sucked, you let some other distributor handle the american release and they totally messed it up. Why release it in the US nearlly a year later!!? wtf?

please don't ever do business with valuesoft because when the american release happened I didn't see any improvement whatsoever in online participation. How in the world did they market this product? Maybe they put a few ads in there local paper and spent the rest of there advertising budget on beer.

I'm sure you are already aware of the patch blunder, 1.1 users / servers couldn't see 1.0 users / servers. If your gonna patch it, make it compulsory for all users to update before they can play online. This killed Crashday.

I feel sorry for the developers of this game, from what I've heard it took years to make Crashday. And you can see that in the quality, the patch problem is unfortunate, but the advertising and marketing blunders of this release are truely despicable. If I was your boss you would all be unemployed now.

Good luck with Crashday 2! This time keep an eye on your marketing and advertising managers, if they suddenly all turn up to work in Ferraris after you've issued crashday 2's advertising budget, then you have a problem, and we have another game with empty servers.

The first patch for Crashday won't install! It keeps on coming up with the message "No version of Crashday detected". Is this maybe because I live in South Africa, where you can't get the Atari version, and have to get the hell-tech version? The hell-tech site isn't running yet. Any suggestions? :mad: sour: madred: lolblue: :mefiant: :noooo: :cry:

[Cuchculan]

Another problem with Crashday is that it won't uninstall. You can't get rid of it from your computer. Have tried many times and many different ways and it still won't go. Interested to hear how others offed it from their computers ?

I also happens to me. I would appriciate your help too.

HI

Considering the amount of effort you have put to this game,
I cannot help wondering the following issues, still after the first patch:

- Car handling : physics model. Why is it so difficult to implement a
more "real world" handling to the driving?
* I would like to see that a front wheel powered car really handles
different to a backwheel powered.
* when you accellerate, there is no such thing as "put the pedal down
and never loose grip".
* instructions say that use handbrake to easy the turning in curves.
BUT why cant I just handle the car by the gas pedal? I mean that
if you use handbreak you should then be able to use the lost traction
benefit by giving more power and either let the car to spin or just
release a such dose that you get the car to turn nicely and then
slowly accellerate. To me this does not seem to happen.
* While in air (jumping) the car really does not turn when you turn the
wheel. This is one of the easiest effects you could easily remove.
* it does not much seem to matter what is the tarmac you are driving.
Why cant you implement a different behaviour model depending on
what material the car is driven on? To me this does not much seem to
happen.
*Terrain editor: I could not find a way to construct over tunnel. Why
can I not put a road going over a tunnel way (not elevated , not
nothing works)?
*Terrain editor: Why dont you offer tools to be able to smooth down the
surface, when it is too rigid? Example: terrain is uneven, and the ROAD
SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE SURFACE MODEL!!! Unbelivable. Yeah, sure,
you really make roads that way, no matter how uneven, you just lay
the road like a carpet over the terrain. Thank you.
* Terrain editor: it is easy to get graphic glitches because the just leave
something open and there you go straight into Tron the movie.
* Other traffic? Would be nice to have pedestrians and other cars just
to fill the place up a bit. Now everything looks like a deserted ghost
town midst in Great salt lake.
* Car damage model: bouncing rubberball is your idea of how the
G-forces and mass affect on materia? Really you get only a little
smashes whilst banging your car against concrete wall with speed
of 200mph. Really?

The driving model should be your main consideration, at least if you are thinking ever to sell this game to someone who knows how the car actually behaves. Most likely buyers are that age category that the crashing and banging makes the only difference. I feel sad about that, because the engine and tools provided you could really go far and gain the mature male audiences attention.

For excellent editors, look i.e. : Operation Flashpoint, Unreal products
For excellent driving model, look i.e. : Richard Burns Rally, Forza Motorsport. (XBOX)

With a bit more serious attitude and paying attention to the driving and editor, you could have had a hit.

Shooting thing is not what I think people actually want. Why are the so called "only driving games" selling that good in all?

P.S. How can I remove that "childish" gatling gun out of my car in TestDrive mode, if I use a player model that has it all?

Recording functionality and the movies you can make suffer from tiny missing pieces: Have a look at movie editor in the PC game "Driver". You could also look the burnout and loosing grip solution from that game.

Otherwise excellent package which brings that long awaited and missing thought to driving games: namely proper track editor and STUNTS!!!

note to developer: PLEASE GIVE USERS ALWAYS POSSIBILITY TO MAKE CUSTOM TRACKS WITH PROPER EDITOR: LOOK OPERATION FLASHPOINT GAME A MILITARY SIMULATION WHICH MAINLY LIVES JUST ONLY BECAUSE OF SCRIPTING AND EDITING POSSIBILITIES WHICH ARE E A S Y AND INTEGRATED (NOT SUCH THINGS AS UNREAL EDITOR!!).

I hope this helps.

Nordicspitz

Better capability with graphics hardware is needed for the whole thing. The Track editor is my favorite feature, and the opponents being able to use my track is good. Hardware capability first, physics could be more realistic.

Thanks
