    Opposing Fronts, anybody got the thing working?

    So, got Opposing fronts delivered today (at last)!
    After installation it launches the game and tells me i need to install a patch for it to work online, so i just let it, walk off and comeback 30 min later and find it's on 0.99 meg and it says patch failed????
    So, i let it do it again and after about 10 mins it got to 1.56 meg downloaded and another message telling me it's failed??
    Not only that but despite what the origional message said there doesn't appear to be a way to play the single player ofline without the patch

    So, download a patch from another web site (140 meg as opposed to 137 previous, same one?) and i install it, this time it freezes at the loading window, just as the loading bar reaches the end

    Anybody else got any ideas or got this game running?

    And to think, CoH ran perfectly!

    I don't personally have it, but a friend of mine does, he got it through steam though and has been playing it quite a lot. The ranking system is down though, so any games you do win don't count.

    CoH never ran perfectly for me, at least, on the multiplayer front it would take HOURS of various mates trying to open ports etc. before it would work.

    As for Opposing Fronts, I played the beta... well, I say played... I got it installed but it wouldn't get past the menu...

    Not sure what the retail is like though!

    The ingame downloader is horribly slow, just get the patch from the web and you'll be fine.

    Oops, sorry must have skipped a line, Mine hangs at the end of the first loading screen, but it's not long enough that I thought it was a problem, was a lot longer the first time. Have you got both patches? I had to get a 135meg one and a smaller one straight after.

    Apparently you wont get the login screen if your internet is disconnected or if you have the disc in the drive you should be able to skip it. Not tried it though.

    Re: Opposing Fronts, anybody got the thing working?

    Ok new one, tried loading this up this afternoon and it prompted me to put the correct disc in to the DVD drive (even though it was) so i hit ok and it passed the check and went to the main menu, i even managed to play the first mission as the British.
    So anyway had to pop out, came back and gave it another go and back to how it was before, patch wouldn't load and only option it gives you after canceling is exit to windows.
    Treid it again and after a few mins of the patch loading i realised it wasn't going anywhere and hit cancel, only for the game to crash

    Sounds like it's time for the old fashioned re-install, try patching it before playing then the hopefully the automatic patcher wont get a chance to mess things up.

    Looks like that got it, the only trouble was after the 140 meg patch it asks you to download a 5.5 meg patch which i couldn't find to download elseware.
    Damn thing took 2 hours with failing 3 times in that just for a 5.5 meg file

    Bloody idiots over at THQ want there heads cheacked for thinking this was a good idea!
