ThirdWire's website is down

[RookieIntruder]

I sure hope it is at least partially up

[Flanker562]

Some people are saying it's back, while so far as of like a couple days ago it was down for me, and a quick check shows it down for me.

Thirdwire website is partly back up at a new url, doesn't have all the same sections as before:

Ahh okay, apparently I didn't have the new link, was at the old one, thanks man.

Still not much progress on https://thirdwireproductions.com/index2.htm

And of course still waiting on the updates for "SFMC" for the PC.

i honestly don't think Thirdwire productions is coming back online. The end of an era.

[Flanker562]

i mean so far WoE is on Steam, and I would guess that TK is moving to that sometime to better distribute his games. I mean why not? Saves money on hosting files and stuff when you got the structure to do it.

From last check on IPhone app store they are focusing on "SFMC" for the IPhone and Android:

That's cause for more speculation

[Erik]

TK clearly said he knew the site was down and was working on a resolve. He didn't say what that resolve meant which could mean retooling his existing site to run on the new domain he's using. I would not count TK or TW out until we get some kind of confirmation one way or the other.

It ain't dead until we see the body

I have local and online backups of my EXEs, the final patch, latest weapons pack and many other prefered/essential mods, so not a problem on that front. I own SF2E, SF2NA and SF2I and was looking forward to a return to Vietnam with a purchase of SF2V, but I'm having doubts now. Even if the 3rdWire webstore is brought back online, I'd be nervous about their email server being able to send me my install key. I know that's been a problem for some purchasers in the past including myself for 1 of my EXEs. I was able to resolve it with an email for which I got a manual reply, but from what I'm reading reply backs from 3rdWire are no longer happening.

I wish the chaotic official DLC store would bring back the F-4EJ/A-4M/South African Hawker Hunter.

[Mr_Tayto]

For those of us without local backups (I may have but haven't checked yet), what are the options?

 

The game isn't officially abandonware yet, so I wouldn't download a "free"(i.e. stolen) version, mainly because I bloody paid $100 for the thing! I can provide receipts, too, PayPal and my site access code for redownloading, which obviously doesn't work now.

None so far. Unless you're in a hurry, I'd say let's wait and see what happens. If the digital store isn't restored at some point, we'll have to try contacting TK and ask him if the PC games are abandonware or not.

The main Third Wire web page is back up.
But the all-important store and downloads sections are not.
At least TK made some progress.

And if it's abandonware...

Nothing will happen. This has been going around and around and around for the last 10 years. Don't hold ya breath!!!

[Raymond2019]

Good to see that TK has made some progress to fix things. Just be patient I'm sure we'll get back to business soon.
