| Posted : Monday, 5 November 2001 - 23:34 the local downloads means you have all the large Flash files, and all the static images on your local PC.
this means faster gameplay for you, and better performance from the server (as less bandwidth is used by the server to send you that stuff).

| Posted : Wednesday, 7 November 2001 - 19:46 To get these local downloads, do I have to go throught that contorted procedure on news page...cos I cant be bothered mate, not at my age ): Am I losing out or what ? I still got 8 squares around my armies...
what is that clause about "if you mess this up, you will not see any map at all" ! hahaha...I just know that is what will happen in my case . |

| Posted : Wednesday, 7 November 2001 - 20:04 its actually VERY easy if you're PC-literate.
I just put warnings, etc for those that arent.
its really just an unzip into a specific new directory. Simple. then just modify your account to point to that directory. cant get much easier... assuming you know how to use a computer. |

| Posted : Wednesday, 5 December 2001 - 13:03 Perhaps I have been misunderstood. I have been a geek for the last 20 years, and in that period of time did tech support. I have never fully recovered from that period in my life, and will accept cash donations from those who feel sorry for me. |
