    It's true - UGO.com's review copy reportedly had a corrupted .exe file.

      Jonah: all the reviewers got "corrupted" copies. That's why we all get, *ahem* fixed copies...

        I realize that y'all want to do a 'full' review of the game, but it would be great to get some small 24-hour type impression of what the game is like. Nothing huge, nothing in depth, just something that can tell us a bit about how much you like it.

          There will be when we CAN play. heh So close, and yet so far away... (corrupted gold versions.)

          What is TRULY annoying is that I could play for two hours, then it fell apart. I heard others couldn't play at all.

            I think that would absolutely drive me into tears. I can imagine, after all this time, getting my hands on a copy...

            And finding out that no matter what I do, I can't run it. Or worse, that it's trojan infected or some such.

            Gah.

              Let's hope these were special stamps and not pulled at random from the 'ship to store pile.' Two hours to disaster, huh? That must be like running the New York Marathon in record time only to fall two feet before the finish line with a broken leg...

                Why would the devs remove alt-tab from the game?

                  FYI, ALT+TAB *does* work on my copy. i don't know if i have the "beta hack" or the official gold version. not sure how to tell.

                    To prevent players from tabbing out to Windows and fiddling with some cheats in MP, I'd think.

                      Yeah, that was the reason they were saying they intended to take it out because of the same sort of thing happening in Moo2. Guess this means I will need to wait for my laptop to really have constant playing time. Unles sit does work.

                        hmmm, that sounds like a very silly (and totally ineffective) reason to me (and if the manual will be in PDF format its a downright moronic thing to do).

                          I'm hoping thats purely because the reviewers got CD's instead of fully boxed retail versions.
                          To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

                              My laptop is integrated into my home network, so I pretty much have full access in the background despite any tasking restrictions.

                              Guess I'll be winning every MP game afterall.

                                We didn't get boxed versions - if we did, the game is in big trouble.

                                The version I just got - 1.16 - fails to run. A little CD icon appears, the CD-ROM whirs, and then... nothing. It goes away.
