Digital Download asking me for CD

[gamerboots]

seriously , there are serious problems with the patch - uninstall - reinstall without the patch - then you'll be able to play providing that you have a graphics card that is extremely good. In 3 days of testing it on a computer with a 256 nividia graphics card configered to high performance for the program it hard booted the pc approximately 19 times and crashed straight to the desktop 3 times in 22 hours of game time. The game itself is not bug free and marred by constant crashes and freezing when loading simple objects - ofcourse this could be because the makers specified that it only needed a 128 ATI graphics card, when infact in its present buggy state it truly needs a 500meg graphics card because the texture controls in the options are obviously non-functional as they load highest quality textures regardless of the settings the user puts in (use the over-ride in your graphics card's interface) IF thats not bad enough , it comes with a $40 price tag and support for the product sucks. Now on to the securom - A word to power users beware - the securom in the digital copies makes you have all those undesireable resource eating and security threatning services that you disabled after you installed your system JUST to activate it - yip thats right - I had to turn on several less than desireable services just to get it to activate - the way things are non functional in this product leads a consumer to conclude that the game was released BEFORE it was actually even completed and the buyers are the ginnie pigs (testers) which is why it has eveything from non-functioning menu's to frequent hard pc boots. its like an egg with no yoke in it - sure its a good game concept , excellent idea but support is seriously lacking -
The latest patch doesn't work with the retail cd because of securom - constantly requesting the original cd to be in the drive [oh your a such a pirate put in the original disk ]
the more I think about it , the more I am convinced that the programming team is making the customers do the testing for them - but business is business I guess - and this is actually called operating cash (at the consumer's expspense ) I hear the company is planning to release "an expansion " - MY advice to them is DONT put on it that the requrirements are 4 times lower than what it really is and shove it out the door in an unfinished state with a super high price tag just to make a sale - DONT make the customers do all the testing - take the time to test your programs before they are released so that there arn't any bugs, and lastly - DONT count on getting another $40+ from me - I'll wait a couple years and buy it IF and WHEN all the bugs are worked out providing that its in a finished state and doesn't have DRM on it.
