Thumbs up

Tried installing demo from official site, same problem.

Quick question though:
When the game installs itself does it create the 'MyGames/MOW' folder upon installation or first execution?

Edit:
Ah, hell with it, for $11.99 Ill just buy the sucker. It'll work on one computer or another.

Further Edit:
Okay, reopen my grievance with the retail version. Patched to 1.11.3.0

Resolved:
My computers are on a domain, with pathed directories. For XYZ reason, this game does not want to function on a computer that is on a domain with pathed directories. Im not a programmer, but I would guess it's related to the My Documents/My Games location of all the MOW profiles, settings, etc. which should _really_ be located in Application Data directory. The game runs to spec when logged on to the local machine. That's good enough for now, but you might [if you can] forward this tidbit of info along to relevant developers.

Further Resolved:
Logging on locally, and copying the mygames/mow directory to the pathed domain shares solves this problem. I guess it just didn't want to create the directories on [\\server\share\path] and without the profiles the game didn't know what to do. Totally fix'd.


Thanks!
