Since the last thread was deleted, (and my post count went back from 3 to 1 because of it :D) I have a few questions.

As it is now, it's quite impossible to get the game in Denmark, of course you could wait, but I'm losing my patience :)

So I'm thinking of buying it from Nexway:

http://www.arma2-shop.com/index2.html?Langue=en_GB&REF=671796&typnews=SEM_GoogleAds_Arma2_EU

Regarding that purchase I have some questions.

1. Just need to be sure. Is it the english version of the game??

2. Is there a downloadable manual?

3. Do you have to wait for hours to get the cd-key sent?

4. Does it function as a normal retail version. Or do you have to wait for nexway specific patches' everytime?

5. Do you get limited installs?

6. Is there any kind of DRM-stuff related to nexway?

Any other things worth mentioning about nexway, please do so :)

Is there any alternative digital download places that's better?

Regarding that purchase I have some questions.

1. Just need to be sure. Is it the english version of the game? I purchased and downloaded an english version this morning from Nexway.

2. Is there a downloadable manual? Yes, it's called "The Guide" on the download page.

3. Do you have to wait for hours to get the cd-key sent? Mine was sent immediately upon payment with my credit card, It's at the bottom of the confirmation page. It's labelled "Serial Number". I also recieved a copy of it in my email.

4. Does it function as a normal retail version. Or do you have to wait for nexway specific patches' everytime? Unknown.

5. Do you get limited installs? 3 activations seems to be the limit.

6. Is there any kind of DRM-stuff related to nexway? Nothing I've seen that's specific to Nexway.

Any other things worth mentioning about nexway, please do so :)

Regarding the manual, does that mean it's a separate download not included directly in the actual game package? Is there a link?

Thx a lot mate. I think I'll just go ahead and buy it off nexway then.

Fix is right.

when you buy it, you get a link to a page containing 14 files. 12 of them are install parts.

1 of them is a bonus soundtrack with 21 tracks and the last file is a "guide".

It's 70 pages long and looks alot like a manual, so I think it's the official one you get with the retail version too.

I just don't understand why people have said they didn't get a manual with nexway.

Perhaps nexway has put it online recently.

I purchased last night from nexway. I grabbed the 12 files and the Bonus but there was no link to a guide.

I'm a little miffed. How do we go about getting our guide now?

If legal, would someone mind posting a link to the pdf version?

TIA. Going to try to reload my browser cache but doubt it will help :(

[Fix 10]

Winterz, try going to the link in the email Nexway sent you. The guide should be the very first download listed. It may have been put up after you did your original download.

Oh and thanks for the edit Placebo, don't want to damage anyone's eyesight :)
