Why can't I just order PC:Kharkov without the first game?

Post by Knavery »

I'm trying to buy this game in digital download, but when I select the single game option (not the bundle), it bundles them anyway. I do not want them both nor do I want to pay 70 bucks for them. I only want Panzer Command: Kharkov. Is this something that needs to be fixed?

Yes, Erik is looking into it.

Glad to hear that it's working again. The bundles were disabled during the Holiday Sale and DR forgot to turn them back on.

I'm trying to buy Kharkov but the store won't let me buy just PC:K - it bundles Winter Storm into the purchase too. That means I'd have to pay £45 instead of £28. I don't want Winter Storm.

Is there still an issue with this?

I'll have Erik look at it but you may just wait for PCO. It might be around $35 USD.

Ah wait, no need. I was using Firefox and had already clicked on the discount link, just to investigate the price (even if I tried to bin WS it stayed after going back and clicking on the normal link). So, I tried it from IE instead and, bingo, no WS as part of the package.

So, I'm happily downloading PC:K right now [:)]

Message understood about Ostfront, but I get that anyway now as a PC:K owner, right? Loved the PC:K demo - I've been a CM player for years but this is a mighty fine alternative and fresh too.

Yes you will get the upgrade for free. It takes a while to undo CM from your brain while learning PC but give it a chance.

Thanks! Yeah, but I went into it with an open mind and I am pleased with what I've got. Obviously, I've got alot of fun in front of me before Ostfront. [:D]

Hopefully Ostfront will be out before you finish both campaigns.

Don't forget to burn a disc and write the serial number on it.

Fully backed up with the rest of my Matrix library [:)]

Sounds like Ostfront is really close then. That kinda persuaded me to take the plunge after months of deliberation. BTW, after only the tutorial and a brief mess about with the game, I'm loving the Platoon HQ orders system. Something's not right with the random battle generator, though. I get an "Internet Explorer Script Error" message when I run it and it asks me if I want to continue running scripts on this page with most of the images not displayed.

There is a fix for IE in the tech section.

I hope the release is soon but you know how that goes...

That IE fix really helps as it gives PCK more replay value after you finish those campaigns. There are also a few user made maps in the scenario section if your interested. I found them fun to play myself.
