2012 Catalyst Simulator question

[ratdude747]

I see they released the simulator... yay...

too bad you have to register as a team to get it, meaning people w/o official team affiliation can't acess it

any suggestions?

Do you have a link?

go to the download link and you will see what i mean...

Yeah, we tried to verify our team and it brought us to a white page that says, "Oswego"

I'm confused as to how this works as well. It didn't open a download program window or anything...

Same result for me (blank page with city name). I was able to download the application by using a personal (non-team) account, but I can't play since it doesn't recognize the account I used as a team account.

[ratdude747]

another oddball question:

what platforms are supported by the simulator?

I was able to register with a team I know I'm set in TIMS as a mentor; I'm not sure but it seems that they might be cross-checking the info you enter against TIMS or something. I was able to get to the download; no word on installing it yet (and the fact that I only got a ~400k file is not encouraging).

I think you're right. I tried it again with a mentor's name, no problems.

EDIT: Now it insists I've already logged on to another computer and refuses to let my play. It also tends to crash every time you click off of the window.

That executable is just a downloader. It will download the actuall program and install it. It's 153MB in size.

Same problem here. Even made sure that we had logged out of the website.

For now, by design the only way to download Catalyst is with a team affiliation. And with the log in problem, if you are not logged in to another computer, after closing give it time to reset. It is on a counter to make sure you are not logged in twice.

ok, noted.

[DJTech]

Is there a way to keep it from crashing and have it open instead?

[stundt1]

Can someone upload a exe file if they download it? It would be really appreciated.
Thanks

after trying to log in with the correct team affiliation, the website brings me to a white page saying "404 Error File Not Found" on a blue host page
