ORIGINAL: Shadrach My biggest problem at the moment is how things are communicated (or maybe the lack of it), and that the burden of proof when it comes to bugs seems to *always* be on the customer. ... it tends to get really frustrating .... ... what we get is a bunch of workarounds and "it works on my machine so obviously you're doing it wrong". ....any testing must be done with this as a base, not some other installation that for some miracle reason works because it's set up in a "special" way. And don't tell users to install the original CD because most users these days *don't* have even a install CD Sharing your pain here, I *do* have an install CD (for which I paid #100# for, and for the hard manual. And yet now, the CD is obsolete, and the manual ... well, it is what it is. For me, it is a great game. Hell, I have from TOAWII discs all the way up to now, and it is disconcerting now to me that we have download / uninstall / reinstall and do all sorts of contortions to get the "new stuff". I *PAID* for TOAW IV, out the wazoo at #100, now it is on sale in "STEAM" for twenty bucks. That's ok, I took my chance, I am glad for it, but at the same time, the support now is sorely lacking. In the mean time, I play my version for all that it is worth, and that is A LOT. I have enjoyed Bob Cross's CfNA scene, the FitEs, all the D21s, for hours upon hours. All I am saying here is, that it is a good purchase, for me and for those who like this sort of thing. For others, they may not like it so much, for many reasons, and I understand that. Let's hope that TOAW V will fix a lot of things that we need. YMMV!
