IMPORTANT: Physical Version Availability

This sequel to the award-winning Crown of Glory takes Napoleonic Grand Strategy to a whole new level. This represents a complete overhaul of the original release, including countless improvements and innovations ranging from detailed Naval combat and brigade-level Land combat to an improved AI, unit upgrades, a more detailed Strategic Map and a new simplified Economy option. More historical AND more fun than the original!

Sounds like the webmaster screwed up and put in the wrong link.

Guys, don't be buying this until Matrix tells you it's fixed.

It should be fixed now. I'm checking in to see what needs to be done for those that ordered while the wrong file was linked, but given that everyone at DR has gone home by now I'll have the answer sometime in the AM EST tomorrow.

I apologize for this issue.

I just talked with DR and we should have those who received the wrong download taken care of in the AM.

Again I apologize for the problem.

To all those who became Hired Guns against their will: I simply went back to Digital River to 'Redownload' COGEE: it is DL-ing right now, so I don't see any problems anymore.

One more thing: I always have trouble with some cookies-thing when trying to re-DL. I went to this site  FindMyOrder.com and you can get your DL from there as well.

Hello everyone,

Well, that was embarrassing. Digital River messed up the download link for the "Digital + Physical" version that went live last night on the EU side. Everything else was fine, except for that one link. The physical versions themselves are unaffected by the glitch.

Unfortunately, we didn't catch their mistake even though checking that is part of our normal process. As a result, as some of you saw, it was pointing to the wrong download file. We are contacting all affected customers this morning via e-mail but I also wanted to post some information here.

1. Your order is fine. If you simply re-download today (you can go to www.findmyorder.com with your order info to re-download) you'll get the right file.
2. Those ordering late last night (around 11PM US Eastern time) and after that should not be affected by this as the problem was fixed by then.
3. The physical versions themselves were unaffected by this. Once those ship they will have the right file, this was just a single incorrect download link.

We apologize for the confusion and the error on our side. We've taken further steps this morning to re-educate all involved staff here and at DR.



Regards,

- Erik

When is the boxed version (with the manual) going to be available?

My plan is to buy CoG:EE when the printed manual is available (already have and love the original CoG).

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the heads up. I wanted to buy this but will wait for the digital + physical option to become available. I like to have both.

Am curious about this as well, my order status shows that the physical version is available and pending shipment and this after more than two weeks.  Downloaded version works great but I would really like the manual.
