Will there be an opportunity to use the Downgrade with my 3D GameStudio 5 Extra (would be nice ) or does it only work with an existing version of A6 (I guess because it isn´t an update )? Please answer, because if the answer is "no" I don´t have to wait any longer because I´m not planning to buy A6 at the moment.... otherwise I will continue waiting... So, unfortunatelly I was right... The Downgrade doesn´t work with my 3D GameStudio 5 Extra, that´s a pity... And you don´t want to re-offer it for A5 users, too...??? Probably, this would be unfair for the A6 users and it wouldn´t do the thing because I only have an Extra Version not Comm. or Pro... I got it for only 10€ in a Media Store and it´s a Sybex Version (A5.05) but it did the thing... That´s why I don´t want to buy a version for at least 199€ for the Comm. Edition... But 5.2 would be faster than 5.05 and it even supports the parameters... So my last question at conitec (to that topic ) is... Will I and other A5 low Edition users have a chance to get a Update/Downgrade or whatever to version 5.2 or at least 5.1? Please answer and I will stop asking for it then...

( I think legally you can only publish with one or the other?) Conitec is not going to let an older version interfere with Sales of A6. They Made a very wise Business decision and at the same time kept many users happy I will be buying A6>A5 Pro if I have to dig out the Platnum card. Why because for $800. this is the collest thing that could ever happen If only I had about 100 copies of A5 Pro I could probally rule the World or something * Teutonic Darkness *

I´m not sure if I will ever have enough skill to do the "worlds best game" and that´s why I don´t want to offer to much money. It was a fortunate coincidence that I have found this very cheap offer otherwise I hadn´t´probably bought it. (Hope this sentence was right ) Quote: Conitec is not going to let an older version interfere with Sales of A6. They Made a very wise Business decision and at the same time kept many users happy As I said in my last post it would be very unfair to A6 users, if they would offer an update for A5 users, too. Quote: If only I had about 100 copies of A5 Pro I could probally rule the World or something You would rule the world! How do you get the Downgrade, do you have A5 or A6 Comm or Pro?

Version 5.51 didn't make it on the CD and was only delivered as update. As I said I have bought a Sybex Version from 3D GameStudio 5 Extra in a media store. When I build a level the engine shows the Version Information A5 engine - extra release V5.05 - Feb 26 2001. So unfortunatelly it´s not A5.24, probably that´s the reason why it was so cheap That´s destiny, but thank you for answering to my post.

Is there no update for the Extra and the Standard Version? Why? Please, tell me if there is any particular reason why you aren´t offering an Update for Standard or Extra? I would be happy if you could offer it anytime @jcl: Please answer if possible PS: I´ve just post this question in the "A5 Downgrade for A6 users" Thread mfg, BiG_F Mfg, PlayStefan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I would at least need Comm. because otherwise the downgrade wouldn´t work mmmhh... - Pro. is too much at the moment I think. Could I pay with bank transfer (Überweisung) because I don´t have PayPal or a Credit Card and I don´t want to give away my account information in the internet with other words is there a opportunity to buy 3D GameStudio in a normal store - Saturn e.g. only offers Sybex versions.
