[quote who="eraseme1" reply="6" id="2013570"] The community has been informed well in advance of these things and yet you keep crying. Therefore you really have no ground for crying about being ripped off, no matter what you think you know about the issue. Maybe it's exactly this kind of patronizing tone that puts me off reading what the "well informed community" for which you appear to be the elected speaker has to say. I see that you

[quote who="Tybald" reply="4" id="2011738"] I don't like being screwed - as far as I can see I paid for a defective product that isn't worth ten bucks. I could care less about the business of the developer or the business of making games - I am not a fanboy just a consumer. I only have so many game dollars to spend and won't be so quick to spend them with these guys - I have been looking forward to Demigod but considering the way they've managed this game I am

This happened to me once. It was for UT2004. I had the option that allowed for pre release versions enabled. I disabled that and viola. Hope this works for you.

It is the best way to thresh out differences and learn from one another. Not all lawyers are unreasonable. I understand your zeal in defending the developers of Entrenchment. I just wish that they better stop posting release dates if they could not promise to keep them, or at the

[quote who="Ryster092" reply="16" id="2004061"] Quoting Lokoth, reply 13 Let me put it this way: You have been given a chance to help beta test a game that you already like. People would give body parts to be part of the beta process of a game. Look at the fervor over beta status from WoW, Age of Conan, and other games and you will see that this is a cool chance to be part of the development process (this is how the space ponies achievement came i

Let me put it this[quote who="eraseme1" reply="5" id="2002932"]Alright, let me put it this way: I got quite some fun out of SoaSE and had so far not a complaint about Ironclad/Stardock. Although curious about the expansion, I was aware of some balancing problems in the beta version (in particular issues with mines), which were supposed to be fixed in the final version. Anyway, I bought entrenchment on Jan 1st, the nominal release date. Before I

Reply to Stardock what in the heck is this? What happend to your Bill of Rights? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

Stardock games have no DRM, they have said repeatedly that other publishers on their site may be doing so and that the customer would be informed. Get off your soapbox and drop the drama. Also, EA has lifted the limited install clause on Spore, look at their own forums and site to see how to do it.

Hate to add to the pile-on, but same here. I am running the most recent ATI vid drivers and even dropped my resolution to see if that is an issue.

I recently installed Entrenchment and have recieved an error stating that the file d3dx9_36.dll is missing. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling and no success. Before I start hunting for the files on the internet I thought I would stop here and see if this is a common error. Help please?

Reply to Best Epic Fantasy? in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Moorecock's Eternal Champion series is fantastic. If you read all the books in the series, not just the Elric ones you see how everything (everything) ties together. His books have a great way of revisiting earlier works and expanding on them and adding to the characters in a way that does not rewrite or cheapen them. Of the two character lines in his books, the von Bek series and the Elric series are the more entertaining, but they are all great.

[quote]Frogboy, maybe you need to check over at https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/forum/457 Plenty of ""Impulse don't work" threads" over there. Forcing something like impulse on your customers you better be sure that it works well, impulse doesn't. The name of the product is ironic, because it feels like you did it on an "impulse".

AVG is the best I've come across so far. I recommend paying for the full version as well. It doesn't interfere with your daily computing and it seems to catch just about everything. Saved my compy when I let a nephew play online for a bit. No nekkid pictures, but he hit a ton of warez sites and other disreputable".ru" domains. Now I know better for when I have my own kids.
