Hi, has anyone played this recently? I can't download this or Distant Guns as the server times out and download doesn't even start. Technical support hasn't responded in 2 weeks! I have a feeling they've abandoned the series ☹️

i tried the game on my HD all worked well and I was able to pull up their website. I do think the game has been abandoned but it is still working. You may want to launch their portal? Stormpowered from your toolbar that is the only way it works for me. Hope this helps.

I tried my install a few weeks ago but even thouh storm powered worked the update function would not work for jutland and the fame would not load. I did not try too much harder.

I'm trying through their portal alas the download fails and keeps saying try again later and with no support - I'm assuming they've closed down the servers

As I don't want to risk removing my Jutland install, I just tried to download the Distant Guns demo (express version) and same result ...

Luckily Jutland is now playable without having to contact the server so the game still works offline for me.

Maybe they've instead taken up teaching a class called "How to keep people who would have gladly payed $100 from buying your software 101"  ;)

I'm sure Jim Rose assured everyone that this type of action wouldn't ever happen.
Oh well they were obviously empty words.

Ahhh...the class is part of the common core curriculum developed by Battlefront.

I loved that game and Distant Guns when it came out but the pitiful support and hang-ups after not playing for awhile killed it for me.  L:-)

I still play both games on and off and really like them. But I agree that the lack of support killed both games.

I loved the games too and had them working well back in the day.  Never attempted to install them on the 4 computers I have owned since assuming it would be too much of a hassle.

It must still be working because a YouTuber called "SmartWargames" has posted several recent videos of it.

just an update. I tried loading the game and their portal on my laptop everything loaded including DG 1.5. Unfortunately when trying to start the game the update timed out to 404. and prompted try again later.
I am assuming they are unofficially gone. In the Strategy forum people had mixed results starting, loading and purchasing the  game as late as 2/19. Just goes to show how screwed up DRM backed software purchases are to the consumer when a company goes out of business.
