If any of you pre-ordered, you should be getting your copy soon. The press release is HERE. (http://www.shrapnelgames.com/News/pr_01.htm)

I have been tracking downloads of the demo, and from all different sources I can find, it has been downloaded almost 10,000 times!

Thanks again to all of the beta testers and others who have contributed to Raging Tiger on this forum. Along with all of the other players on other forums, it has been a great endeavor to be involved in. Even though I may go on to design other games, Raging Tiger will never be abandoned, and look for regular patches and updates.

Also, don't hesitate to ask for new units and such to play with. I'll be happy to build them and include them in updates.

**Make sure you peruse the database, as there are some units included I didn't use in the scenarios!**

Does this release allow to save a game in two-player mode?

I assume not, just making sure.

I've already started to curse UPS. Strange thing is all that anger disappears the moment I get the package. :nuts:

Hi RedMike, I can't wait for your initial impression. Please post it... ;)

Raging Tigers looks to be the definitive ATF. Nice job one and all, thanks!

Have to play it some more to be more specific, but my initial impression is it's a winner.

Cougar...what do you want to know? I played the first scenario "The Breech."
Managed to kick butt, this time. Now playing "Hasty Defense." The scenarios all look great. Very tough terrain. I had to rework a lot of the sound files to suit me. Many stock sounds are scratchy and chopped off. And I think the vehicle movement sounds are way too loud overall. I tried muting them all but find it's better to have a subtle indication when a vehicle of some sort moves, so I just reduced the decibels a bit. Much better now. Were especially annoying using time compression. Also, the game crashes on me when I hit the exit button. This is a problem I had with ATF also. Finish a session, save the game, click on Exit, and the program window closes but I get the MS Error Reporting Window saying the program had a problem with closing, etc. Happens pretty much 100% of the time. Anybody else see this?
If there's anything particular you'd like to know just holler. It's a great game! All your ATF stuff should live happily under the RT hood. Seems to make ATF redundant.

RM,

Try the ATF video fix available at the ProSIM home page.

Let me know if you still have the problem.

I HATE BUGS!!!!

Pat,

First off...THANK YOU for a really cool MilSim! I'm enjoying the heck out of it. As for the "closing" bug I'm experiencing I thought the fix you mention is for ATI graphics cards. I'm presently using an Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 XTP. I haven't monkied about with turning off acceleration and all that with RT but I did with ATF. If I recall correctly I believe it didn't make any difference. If you like I can probably send you a crash dump file next time it happens. So, should I install the fix even though I'm running an Nvidia card???

Curt and Pat,

I received RT yesterday and just installed it. It seems to be working fine.

Now if I can only make some time to play!

Thanks for the great work guys.

Received Raging Tiger this am followed by a nice quick and smooth install over ATF. The game runs like a dream and I’m very impressed (I knew I would be)

Thanks Captain P and team (including the beta testers) for an exceptional simulation especially Curt for all the obvious hard work he put into the project.

Our pleasure, XRAY! Being my first game, it was a learning experience absolutely fraught with fun! I learned a great deal, and I think you'll notice the improvement with my next game!

OOPS!

You didn't hear that from me!

Curt, I ordered my copy of RT today and hope there is still room for me in the NLOS battalion where I can exercise my renowned artillery skills, e.g., tossing aiming circles, pulling lanyards, lighting fuses, and aiming guns in the general direction of the enemy. :D

I am sorry I cannot render service to the Forward Battalion, as I find the idea of being LOS to the enemy unnecessarily hazardous to my health, but I am willing to shout encouragement over the battalion net up until the time I am carted off to Leavenworth.

Seriously, I am looking forward to RT. Now if I can just finish all the ATF scenarios! I'm working on the Fulda Gap scenarios and we'd all be in the Red Army by now if you'd have relied on me. If we have a Hall of Shame for AARs I can post some there. On the other hand the Tac AI looks pretty good when I get a drubbing.

I hope you feel that, after playing RT, you feel you made a good purchase.
Feel free to post comments here, and submit bugs to the address provided.

Good luck, and I'll see you on the high ground!
