The link after payment page here just loops back on itself when I click to download...

Maybe it's a massive 9p fraud, they could make literally hundreds of pounds off this!!

Edit: It downloads a small download manager executable and then that proceeds to download the game. Maybe link is getting hammered?

Link to the executable?

OK link came though, just me panicking. (and Bt yahoo being the slowest email provider ever)

Nice find thx! Will never play the game probably but its 9p so...

isn't sim city 4 notoriously hard?

The link wasnt working when u cilck start download after paying. Maybe its a firefox bug. I made an account but i cannot see any way to find that link again and all i can do is view the past orders and usual stuff there but their is no way to download it afaik.

Any help would be welcome.

Oh and i have no emails yet.

Edit - Talkin to online chat they are having issues with downloads. "we are experiencing problems with downloads at the moment"

What DRM is on this?

EDIT:

Also getting a payment error.

HeX · 20 Jan 2011 at 12:02

Link finally came through

SkeeterUK · 20 Jan 2011 at 12:02

Not sure, dont think any as it came out before DRM i.e activation limits.

Got the download link to my gmail, but it doesn't seem to be a proper link? Or rather, it seems to be a mail.google.com link. I'm guessing gmail is mesing with it somehow?

It's not gmail, it's just a void link from gamestation, I got it to my work email address and I can't click it either.

Talk about a hamfisted approach to selling a digital download.

I get exactly the samething with hotmail.

It's a bit weird that you guys are having problems. Mine is downloading as we speak (or type)
