Yes the game manager has a pause but in any large file game which I try to download whenever I pause it it goes back to the beginning of the download.Or it will get to 99% and then stop. Small file games load just fine. You see, my dial up ISP knocks me offline after about 8 hours so any large file game progress is lost.I have tried everything that customer service has suggested but to no avail. So what I usually do is buy the game with a back up disk. Then the game installs just fine.

I guess this question is in addition to Old Man's delving into what is added to the real game by the Collector's Edition. I guess I am asking if there will be more games, or more involvement, or more objects or more places to visit. OR is it the extras of stategy guide, screensaver pictures, etc.

Just asking, not judging. Thanks to anyone who can answer...

Jody

Jody, according to the BFG website, the in game extras will be
Quote:
The Collector's Edition launches several weeks early and includes secret bonus levels, additional puzzles, and other intriguing "extras".


In addition, the strategy guide will be accessible while still in the game.

There will be other extras also, but the in-game extra's are bonus levels, puzzles, and some surprises. wave

I cannot tie up my phone line . My only hope is that the games in which I cannot download on BF will be available at Spintop where I can use my download manager(GetRight) and can pause a lot.


Penny, have you tried ordering the larger file games on cd. That is what I do for the games I want to put on my laptop which only has dialup connection- takes only seconds to activate the game after installing from the cd. If something happens you also don't have to go through all those hours of downloading again.
Sorry if you already thought of this.

You cannot order a large file that is over 600MB on a CD. They are not available from BigFish.

I thought Dire Grove was only 300mb or so.

Is it going to be over 600mb?

I have no clue Bella Rosa. I would have thought with the FMV added in that it would be a larger file. I do not know any specs of the game officially.

MCF: DG and MCF:DG Collector's Edition will be available on CD as they are both under 600MB (The capacity of a CD ROM).

There is extra game play. The standard release will be the complete story of Dire Grove. The Collector's Edition bonus levels will be unlocked as you discover them and are not directly related to Dire Grove, but do reveal secrets about MCF story lines in the past and future!!

Penny - Please contact customer service. They have diagnostic tools that will help solve your download issue.
