Midnight seems as good a time as any other. 11pm, 1 am, 13:43, it doesn't make a difference.

Try to go through until payment, and see if the prices are not less than advertised. When checking, the three before shadows was quite a lot cheaper than they were doing the same test some weeks ago.

Yep, was just about to say I went on through the steps anyway and it's right

The price cache may take some time to clear - if you click to purchase and add them to your cart, you should see the current pricing.

Is 93.42 NZD the correct sale price?

Hi Natmeister,

I assume you mean for the entire series? For the Shadows release, the total price for the entire series including Shadows works out to $69.96 in USD, which is about 40% off the base price for each release. I just checked and the bank conversion rate is 1 USD = 1.233 NZD, so that would be about $86.26, but we unfortunately can't get the same rate for currency conversion as a bank, so $93.42 at 4% more is probably right. I can't check more precisely because the price is dynamically converted by the store based on the current exchange rate we get when you place the order.

Regards,

- Erik

Hmm, something wrong on my install. Launcher will open the Manual, and check for updates. But clicking on the Play button does nothing.
Task manager doesn't even show a process starting.

I had the same problem, but then set the DistantWorlds.exe to "Run as Administrator" and now everything runs fine.

Reinstalled, and confirmed it was already set to run as Admin. Still nothing from the Play button.

Have you tried running it from the DistantWorlds.exe directly (on my install there was a "Distant Worlds (Quick Start)" shortcut added.

Also, did the .Net 4.0 and XNA install ask you to restart?
