Just to finish this thread off once and for all, I thought I'd point out to those that missed it:

- If you are in Canada or the US you can either wait till April May 26th (yes, it moved) and buy it on Steam or you can purchase the downloadable EMEA version online today (which is valid and quite legal on Canada/US Steam) here (it all works, I used it):

http://www.justflight.com/product.asp?pid=645

- The Just Flight servers are busy for some mysterious reason, so don't forget you can just use your activation code and downloaded it quicker via Steam anyway (as it'll pick a faster/local content server), i.e. Steam Main Menu / Games / Activate a Product on Steam and enter your code.

- I didn't notice this before but the Tages DRM has been dropped from the release already in the last Steam patch. Glad to see the back of those activations, but didn't see it mentioned here much (although should be in the DRM forum I guess).

- I do hope people didn't use this Russian method purely to save money, and if you did then don't forget you going to have to acquire a new 'Maddox.dll' every time the game updates as your naughty stair punishment. smile

I think I'll wait until it looks and runs like it should. Which might be never from what I can tell. This game was hyped by OM and fell about 20 miles short. Sorry, but after 6 years of waiting, it has a pitiful presentation. Cinematic (not even close), dynamic weather (oops, maybe later), Battle of Britain (if you have a Cray), Clouds are recycled IL2 10 years out of date. If all this is not bad enough, the fan boys are oooooing like they got what they expected...?????? I don't see enough sales here to get it patched to even sub par.

There is a thread that mentions the removal of the Solid Shield DRM in the DRM forum. I am assuming that the Solid Shield and Tages DRM were one in the same.

Yep, the same - SolidShield the product name and Tages the company I think.

Must be some sort of record for shortest lived DRM, i.e. two weeks before the US release it got removed. I do hope 1C didn't waste too much time/money on it.

I caved and bought it through yuplay.ru today while waiting for the RoF servers to get back up. I'll still buy the U.S. release too. The cost for me today was $14.87. I'm about 44 minutes out at a d/l average speed of 1.5 MB/s. My impatience is killing me.

My new rig should get a test now.

A few people don't notice, but you also get Wings of Prey included in that $14 too. Check your purchases on yuplay.ru and it's there to download as 'purchased' (or it was fo me a few weeks back).

I checked back there for the Wings of Prey, but it wasn't there as far as I could tell. I'll check back once I get me feet wet....pun intended. How's the water temp? Splash!

Any tips that I may have missed in this thread that will get me into an English version yet? I read something about a Maddox dll file or something, but atm my eyes are a bit tired due to lack of sleep and lots of reading about CoD.

Thanks for the WoP tip too.

The English translation is held in maddox.dll which lives in (game dir)/parts/core. You'll need one each time the game is patched. It seems as if (for now, while they beta patches) you can take both the english/russian patches, apply the russian one and then take the maddox.dll out of the english patch and use that. Not sure if that will work forever though.

Also, 'Wings of Prey' appears like this in Russian in your purchases (if that helps):
