I call support. Hell, I read an article somewhere (call it National Geographic) where they actually (nowadays) consider the seizure of power by the clerics as the 'second Arab invasion'*. From that and all this, I like to think the clerics are treading thin ice with their people.

*The First Arab Invasion was the Muslim Empire's defeat of the final Persia way back in I think the 700's. Yeah, The Persians were not happy about that. Especially when the Arabs forbid them to speak their own language.

Every system where a few "enlightened" ones call the shots threads thin ice with their people, unless they are backed by the military and/or a significant part of the population.

As for the Arab invasion, the Persians still don't like it. You just try calling an Iranian an Arab. I suggest you keep a safe distance. They still are Persians and quite proud of it. The Arab Invasion you refer to is irrelevant in Iranian politics though as the Arab would be Sounniet(follower of the Profet's Sounnah) and the Persian would be Sjiiet. Two different interpretations of Islam. Iranian Sjiiet is more like Roman catholic. A lot of structure, a lot of rules, but they bend them to "practical morals". That's also the reason why such a 'strict' Islamic regime allows stem cells research

So far still 1 is officially dead, although 7 have been shot, which seems to indicate not an ordered volley, but rather some officers loosing their nerves over the crowd they were facing.
As for Ahmadinejad, I believe the West is doing him wrong by branding him as a nutcase. Surely, he's no help for world peace, but he is just a guy who knows which strings to pull to get the conservatives backing him. Just like Bush knew how to get support from conservatives in the USA, or any agitator in a democracy.
How much the Iranian state can be labeled as a democracy, now that's another discussion as a great deal of power lies with the Ayatolah and with several religious boards. Although this year, for the first time, there have been large scale televised debates, something that would imply the actual involvement of the population with politics. The fact that the government didn't actively intervene with the rallies of the opposition before the elections also doesn't indicate the state's desire to control the people in their liberty of speech. Only when after the election, there were massive (1 million) marches, there was an oppression. Question remains, how well did the protesters behave?
But basically, the principle of Iranian national politics still is that anyone can do politics as long as it isn't a grand reformer. Continuity is a major issue for the Ayathollah, which is understandable given the history of the county with wars against Iraque and the overthrow of the old Sjah. However, they aren't as diabolic as many here think. Family members of the Sjah still live in Iran and some of them still attempt politics, although not that successful. On the other hand, the country is one of the leading nations when it comes to research such as stem cell research, something that under e.g the Bush administration with the no abortion politics wasn't even imaginable...

Mind you, I don't want to defend Iranian politics or Ahmedinejad, I just want to point out that there is a lot more to Iran than just "ragheads that want to nuke Israel". No black and white, just a lot of shades of gray

after tinkering around with the save games folder, it seems that the game is up and running again.
By making sure that neither the save folder, nor the autosave folder is on read only (which seems to be default), the game no longer asks for additional disk space when I launch a mission. So far I am one and a half mission further and still, no such requests have been made.

So I am locking this topic.

Do you by any chance have a drive partition (D:, E:, whatever) for your system files that is completely full? It could be that the game is, for whatever reason, trying to use that partition instead of your C drive.

I have an external hard disc, which I use for back ups. But there aren't any data of COD on it. I mainly use it for documents and some work related programs...
Anyhow, it isn't full. It has approx 668 Gb free space...

So now I cleaned out my C drive, defragmented it, checked it for flaws, uninstalled COD4, reinstalled it...
and still it does NOT find 5mb of free disc space on a drive with 25gb of free space...

WTF!

anyone that can throw me a line because this is getting really frustrating...

Checked it, my initial space is 2000,my max is 4096 (the systems max) so it should be sufficient..the error remains whether I assign space or just let the system manage it.

I'll go for a defragmentation of my C drive as well. After that, I am pretty much running out of ideas. Except for a fresh install of the game perhaps...

The WINDOWS/TEMP is completely empty, safe for some Perlib_perdata objects, which are inherent to Windows activity if I recall correct.
Not sure about page file, wouldn't know how to check that. But the game's intro plays fine; so I presume that would't be an issue.
After clearing out temp and getting rid of some more junk, I now freed up to 26 gb, yet cod still request 5mb free disc space on the gaming drive...

Yes, the installation is done in C:\\program files\...
the default path for the installation. it really puzzles me how a system can report 25gb of space, yet cannot find it when it runs an operation...

ik heb al n paar keer navraag gedaan in winkels zoals fnac, gamemania etc maar het ziet er niet naar uit dat je de boxed versie in benelux in de rekken zal vinden. als je boxed wil, raad ik je amazon aan. Daar heb ik mijn copy gekocht.

They were awesome. The horror of finding yourself chased by 40 dark knights, knowing you didn't stand a chance if they reached you...
There wouldn't happen to be a mod somewhere that introduces them again?

ow jeez, talk about feeling like a noob. I 've been playing this game since the early .6 and it simply never crossed my mind to check that...


okeee, closing this thing down now

meh, tough but fair. He could have highlighted some of the more original aspects, but overall he gives a pretty fair view of the game to the mainstream player

Do you have to pay to download off of rapidshare? It has no link to download it.

You don't have to pay for it. If you click on the button 'free user', you can get the file. You'll have to wait for some 60 seconds though, as it is free, thus slower than the premium.

Avatorio, is the press release manual? [/quote]

It is the official manual I got on Gamersgate, when I bought the game there. I guess errors should be reported on the paradox forum of M&B or in the Apothecary; with the bugs. Maybe we should open a threat there with possible errors in the manual...

Lord Sami 说:

Are you even sure there is one?

there might be one, as Gamersgate sells both English as German versions...

It's the English one
