I got that too, and backed straight out of it. I'm not familiar with the website to allow it to download programs to my computer.

I'm still very much looking forward to playing the game in its entirety when it's released. thumbsup

I'll try to find some additional places to upload the demo to. I'm afraid I can't host it on my own server, because my bandwidth can't handle a file size that large.

Does anyone have any ideas for places that host huge files?

Hey guys, with the ones that are having problems with downloading you could try using "Free Download Manager", unless you are already using a different download manager that you are happy with. It integrates quite well with IE, Firefox and Opera.
This is what I use all the time and it works great. Just look up "Free download manager" on google, it should be the first entry.

I downloaded the file but haven't started playing yet. But I too noticed the "download manager". I clicked no thanks which immediately took me to a public server...so you can download without installing this "download manager".

Dragon -- I haven't played the demo, but good things to try are right-clicking or bringing the cursor down all the way to the bottom of the screen or bringing the cursor all the way up to the top of the screen.

Dragon, if I remember correctly you access the inventory hitting Tab on the keyboard.
There is a readme file in the download, explaining all the options.

I have Vista and really wanted to try the demo however when I tried to download it they are forcing you to put the IGN download manager on my system. Since I don't use IGN for anything else I don't want to do this. Is there somewhere else I can trust that we can download the game from? Sounds like a fun game. Is there voices in the demo?

No problems downloading the demo, but I can't control my mouse, it is very jerky and all over the place. Anyone else have this problem?

What are your computer specs? This game requires a fairly good video card to run. It might be that your card can't support the graphics, hence the jerkiness.

Is this what you need? AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.21 GHz, XP Home, ATI Radeon 9550 with up to date driver, 1.50 GB RAM.

Hi Bristol,

Yes, it sounds like your system might be a bit too slow to play Stonewall Penitentiary reliably. I am working to improve the game's speed so that it will run on more computers, though, so keep your fingers crossed! smile
