WW2 Online Test Halted

This forum post on World War II Online HQ warns of problems with the installer of the public test version of World War II Online that can hose a Windows installation. Meanwhile, the top group of threads on this page offers solutions that will hopefully restore systems that have been so hosed.

Let me set the record straight on all the fanboys here saying its your pc thats at fault. 1) My system is a an Athlon 2200 with 512mb ddr ram and a geforce 4 ti4600. when i cancelled my account the framerates where still worse than any other game - after 14months of development FFS!!!! 2) The graphics suck in the 1st place, they have finally caught with say..... um 1999 levels after enormous patches and 14 months of development (and dont give me all that "its the scale of the map" bollox - many many games offer the visible range that WWIIOL does but they implement it properly instead of getting their whole graphics engine back to front. Who in their right mind would load up the whole of europe in the engine when a guy is playing infantry and is gonna see less than 1% of it all on that mission!!) 3) They have had hundreds of suggestions to improve the drive "plink" repeat process, the capping system, (or should I say camping system?) and they listen to nothing. They have continuously come up with worse and worse and bizaare iterations which have made the gameplay continously more and more obscure They tried something truly great - they provide something truly crap PERIOD! As mentioned before I paid over £160 for approx 1 hour in total of "entertainment" BF1942 rocks
