It might be a good idea to go through the downloads and cull anything that does not match the Amendment 1 standards to avoid confusion as to what is current and what is old.

[Randy A Montrose]

I would second that. You guys are doing a fantastic job with all the provided downloads, but now with Amendment 1 out it gets confusing what's up to date and what's not.Rip

[CinC]

Very reasonable suggestion. Will work on that over the holiday.Thanks,CinC

I have downloaded the amendment 1 files and the charts are all gibberish. I have DL'd them twice, from 2 different computers.

Sounds like you have an earlier version of Adobe's pdf reader. The files were set-up with version 8.0. Any earlier pdf readers will scramble the files. Best solution is to download the latest reader from Adobe's website (its free, BTW). That should fix the problem.

Sorry for disturbing,I may be stupid but where can the amendment be donwloaded (I am a registered user and did not find this in the donwload section) ?thanks for the information.

[Philippe Albouy]

Thanks for the information Zippee but that was exactly where I went and there is nothing.And it is still the case. Now strangely the only section with files in the private library is "Mein Peinzer 2", a game I do not own.... I had recently a problem with my member login and the admin changed their database, I wonder whether they could have garbled my membership.If all the other registered GQ users have access to these files it may be the explanation (on the old website I downloaded lots of stuff which have vanished on this one....). Any opinion welcome.Again, sorry for disturbing.

Antiphilus,Send a Private Message (via the Inbox) to the "CinC" or shoot him an email, and he can check up on your member access. Sounds like an "oops" on our end.

[Philippe Albouy]

Thanks Jon,the problem has been solved by Gregory. I have full access now.Just waiting for the incoming GQ3 WW1.....:evil:

On a slightly different note, I can't seem to download the last two files in the Amendment 1 directory (Rules and Turn Indicator). Everything else came through fine but these two consistently come through empty - file name and 0K contents. If someone can shed some wisdom on this I'd appreciate it.LT

[Matthew Laing]

Same with me. I can download but cannot open the rules nor the turn indicator amendments. Everything else is fine. When I check the file properties, the file size is zero bytes. When I try to open the files I get an error message saying the file is an un-supported type or it is damaged. Could these two files be corrupt?ThanksMatt

I have checked this and have the same problem. I was using Acrobat Reader 7 at work though, so I want to try this at home with Acrobat Reader 8. The Amendment 1 files are Acrobat Reader 8 optimized and others have had problems using lower version of the reader. Make sure you are using Acrobat Reader 8 to view these files. I'll post back after I try downloading these at home.

[Matthew Laing]

I'm using Adobe reader version 8.1.1, which is the latest version as far as I know.

I've also tried using Acrobat 8 and it makes no difference. The problem isn't that they're garbled -like the gunfire charts, for instance- but that they show as having a length of 0 kb, i.e., the file is empty.LT

[CinC]

I reposted both these files today. See if they work now.CinC

[Matthew Laing]

Good to go...thanks!

[Thomas Tuohy]

Just tried them and they came through clean as a whistle B) . Thanks much.LT

[Martin Schmidt]

I seem to have the same problem as others.I registered my copy of GQ3 and can't seem to access the amendment.Martin :(
