WARNING! SERIOUS RANT COMING!
EEAH is broken and EECH works, but not properly. IMO GOG should withdraw these from sale. GOG are quite frankly ripping customers off selling these when they do NOT work "out of the box". £5 each as well! It's just disgraceful.
PS/ Have you tried getting through to customer support recently? Anyone know how to get past the bullshit AI?
EEAH
First off, there's no sounds nor music on any of the menu screens.
Menu screens are very laggy, and slow to respond to inputs.
No actual game modes work. Whenever I select "free flight", "dynamic mission" or "dynamic campaign" I then get taken to a "select location" menu. Click on one of those and all I get is this red and blue loading/splash screen. Nothing happens from then on. But in the bottom left is an arrow icon, which I presume is the "go back" icon. Click this and I go back to the previous menu. So the game has not crashed, it is just sitting there doing nothing, it just simply won't work.
The ONLY thing that works is "DEMO". And that is bad, no sounds, extreme lag etc.
EECH
Almost identical.
No sounds in menu screens. No music. But it's not so laggy,
The problems with actually starting a game is the exact same. Select gameplay mode, then location, select "Cuba", "Georgia" or "Thailand" and NOTHING....... nothing except the "cancel" button works.
Some such as "Taiwan" come up with other options such as "Skirmish #1" and those do seem to work. Though I am not impressed by what I saw. A crazy, unfathomable mash of choas was all these campaigns seemed to be - with constant insanity inducing, earsplitting radio messages from all the other units in the campaign ceaselessly assailing you. And all theatres seemed to use top of the line Russian equipment. So "Yemen" for example was not "T-55"s and old shit, it was all "T-80U"s etc. All theatres use the same units. "Taiwan" was all Russian units instead of Chinese. Seriously PISS POOR!
What's this about EEAH and EECH being "linked games if you own them both"? I own them both (what a fool I am). Have them both currently installed, but I'm not seeing any evidence of this.
What's this about the versions GOG peddling being outdated, broken and impossible to update and also 100% incompatible with any mods?
None of the solutions in these forums have been of any use, they've either not worked, or I simply can't understand them. GOG customer support is impossible to reach. All I get is that retard of an AI.
Come to think, I had EE2 ages ago on CD, and that was utter shite. What was I thinking buying the two earlier titles when I knew even the later EE2 was dogshit?
Yeah, I know I've posted this as a question, but don't bother replying. The +5 rep reward is worthless since rep was removed (good fking riddance - now do it with the review pages GOG) and I'm not even going to so much as sniff the excreta that is EEAH / EECH again.
