Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

I've found that patches are usually released between 10 and 11 am EST...but that's just from past experience.

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

It could be a disgruntled EA employee seeking revenge by stirring the community up. Imagine how pissed off some people will get when it turns out that its not going to be out today...

As for not being available on FileFront anymore, it could have been disabled cause it wasnt a true release it would backup my comment about a disgruntled EA employee... im sure there are pleanty of them there :P

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

I'll give it 5mins, then I'm off to bed.

Lol, watch as it comes out in 5 minutes and 30 seconds :-)

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

Yes, if you happen to get right in there the instance they created the entry, there is a chance that some people were able to download the file before it was 'locked'. We're probably talking about a margin of seconds here...

We're really waiting for the links to be 'open'.

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

My servers already updated , and my daemon client too.

They wouldnt leave me hangin' for 2/3 days !!!!!!!!!

Would they????

Nuh, I reckon that would be very unfair. The trusted server providers have to behave themselves too so I doubt they'd go ahead without EA's blessing. I reckon that's the most concrete proof we have that it's today.

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

loads of sites put it up at the same time
they cant not have any servers running 1.3 untill thursday or next week

Well I have tried to access it from filefront and this is what is showing up.

If you look it does show that 4 people have managed to download it. There is a guy on EA forums claiming to have managed it when it first showed up.

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

nothing on FilePlanet yet.

My servers already updated , and my daemon client too.

Would they????

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

The FileFront download link takes me to the page where you can upload file to their site.

Hmm.

All of these download sites could simply be getting ready for thursday...

They've got release dates of 9/5/06, so I doubt it.

Re: anyone seen this yet? (1.4 today says gamershell)

why thursday?

Because that is the date the rumour mill spit out last week.
