Same problem here.

Installation of the reader, followed by downloading the rulebook went through without any error, but instead of showing the book, the pages are blank:

System is:
lenovo T500
Intel P8700
4GB RAM (because of Vista32, only 3GB usable)
Vista Enterprise with SP2 32 Bit
Symantec Antivirus (buisness version, can not be disabled from the user itself)

Deleted the book, followed by deinstallation of the eReader, reboot, complete re-installation: same error.

After the second try without any success I installed both on my Gaming-PC (I5-3550, 8GB RAM, GeForce GTX 660TI OC, SSD): All is fine, no errors.

Problem is: I need it to run at the notebook, cause it would be not practicable to transport my gaming system to wargame cons :P


I can provide screenshots, but the forum tells me, it looks too spamy for a new user.

The fix for the download issues requires you to delete the issue and re-download it. Click the i Button on the cover image nd then delete. Let us know how it goes.

When you say you deleted did you delete the actual rule book from inside the reader. I dont mean uninstall the reader I mean delete the content you downloaded and download it again. It should start at part 1 of 37 and redownload. It sounds like you just uninstalled and reinstalled and the content was cached and is using the same files you already downloaded which are corrupt.

There must be an additional issue which we're asking the team to look into. Thanks for your patience.

These patches are now available (see the sticky) as beta so please try them out and let us know if they fix your version. Be sure to delete your old download before trying to download with the new version.

In at least one of the cases where there was an issue this fixes it so we hope it fixes all issues but wont know for sure until it gets tested.

If it helps let us know - if it doesn't please tell us and we'll have to try again.

Sorry to hear this fix hasn't sorted your problems. From I can determine, the content you have on your machine hasn't downloaded and installed correctly.

Can you confirm if you deleted the existing content download? Click the i then click the delete. You will then have to re-download the content.

Can you please try this and let me know if there is any difference?

Cheers
