Greetings fellow Obcitizens, I'm just posting an FYI on a PC-RPG I picked up today and my troubles with it.
First off, no problems installing it but when I tried to launch the game a second program called "Micro Copy" popped up telling me I the disk wasn't in the cd-drive (it was). I restarted my computer and tried again, didn't work, I switched disks as two of them come with the game and it still didn't work.
Despite the 45+ games I have, this is the first time I've had issues with copy protection.
I then went online for a patch. The developer website had said it had one available but when I clicked on the 'download' button, I was simply returned to the front page. I went to the download section again, looked at the source html for that page, and, yes, where it says download is a link to the front page.
I searched online and found two patches.
I installed one and started up the game - it worked! But now my game is in German.
I uninstalled the game, reinstalled, and used the second patch this time... Again, the game is in German.
Frustrated, I decided to check the forums on the developer's website but they didn't have one. They did have links to two official websites for the game however: one in German and one in French.
My system is over the recommended specs and I bought the CD at Fry's
I continue to work with the program. Hopefully, I'll get it installed in *English* and love the game enough that this trouble is worth it.
