    The demo's up, with the following proviso - if the servers are hammered, the downloads will but out. Use software that will resume the download, such as Star Downloader 3 @

    Thanks to Cheddar for posting this in the newsgroup alt.games.champ-man, Simon for providing the webspace and also to the original poster in the binaries group (Shaun Goater).

    Enjoy.

    Be aware.....

    You need WINRAR to unzip the files. It's not a traditional WinZip, unfortunately...

    The skinny on WinRar for those novices like me..

    :D

    That seems to be the best bet. You can download something called WINRAR as an evaluation copy for 40 days, then they ask $30 US for it. But a total novice like me who's so used to WinZip did it in less than 5 minutes.

    Ive used winrar on it, and gone through setup, but i cant find the game anywhere. It says its installed but where the hell is the .exe? So unbelieveably frustrating..

    help

    I downloaded WINRAR. I then downloaded the demo and extracted it into a file. There are 7 parts. What do I do now?

    Thanks for you help

    I used WINRAR to unzip it then I used it again on "thedemo.part1" (not on any of the other 6). From the folder that opened up, I ran "setup" and it installed just fine

    Never mind. I extracted part 1 into the demo file and then ran set up and I'm good to go!

    Specs for the game, per Sports Interactive:

    Windows 98/2000 (but the demo runs fine on my machine with Win ME); Pentium 600; 96 MB RAM;
    1024 x 764 video resolution; 4x speed CD-ROM; DirectX (probably the latest, 8 or 8.1)

    C:\Program Files\Eidos Interactive\CM4 Beta Demo\cm4.exe was what came up for me. Try looking in there instead of the 'C' or whatever letter your machine's hard drive is located.

    Why couldn't you make any subs? What did you click to get to the tactics screen?

    Re: Re: CM4 demo

    Since the set up is diffrent and the game is on full screen i couldnt find where to change the tactics. However in my second match up i finally figured out how to make the adjustments...

    Mine crashed twice also. I'm assuming the full version will be more stable.

    Boro, did you buy the magazine that came with the demo?

    Here's a list of what SI Games removed from the demo, and what will crash it:

    Ability to arrange friendly
    Ability to cancel friendly
    Send players for rehabilitation
    Network / Internet / Hotseat Play
    Sound Effects
    Viewing a Full Match
    Future Fees for players
    Starting a new game
    Background pictures
    Assistants recommending players to clubs
    Saving Highlights
    Viewing other teams tactics

    "Known Crashes: In team screens when you go to any other view apart from the Traditional and sort. Also, in fixture screens when you click on 'Show next fixture' when a team has no fixtures."
