I wouldn't have found it otherwise. I don't think I've seen much mention of Macness in reviews & such, & we don't get many choices period, much less The Best (& no CMMOS, now there's your real downside to being an Apple man).

Pvt. Ryan Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I'm surprised no one has asked which version of CMBB will be sold to those living on Native American Indian Reservations. And what about German nationals working in the German embassies in various parts of the world. What version will they get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 When bitching about the safedisk copy protection on the CDV release I forgot one thing: What kind of Windows will you run in 10 years? (yeah, none if you are clever, point taken). What would you say if CMBB was technically very well capable of running in whatever Win32 emulation Windows 2010 has. But the only thing keeping it from running is the copy protection. Compatiblity is not only good for current equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Aww, is that the same safedisk stuff that was on Warrior Kings? For many systems, not mine ofcourse, there has been nothing but problems with it. They've had to come up with workarounds and all manner of fixes.

I will have the latest Geforce-15 Ultra, 128 Terabyte RAM and a 100 Gigaherz AMD K-WOOMM Masterblaster CPU. The machine must be cooled with liquid Helium and has a build-in Fusionplant that delivers the necessary 1.21 Gigawatt of power :cool: .

For many systems, not mine ofcourse, there has been nothing but problems with it. They've had to come up with workarounds and all manner of fixes.And sometimes there never is a fix. I purchased a game last year that add this abomination on it. I swear it damaged my CD-ROM drive. If not damaged, it sure started doing funny things after installing this game. Everytime I inserted a disk it would whirr and spin-up for a seamingly longer period of time. Sometimes it wouldn't recognize a disk. The fix for those who couldn't read the game's disk was a firmware upgrade to their CD-ROM drive. Unfortunately for some, there was no firmware upgrade. Even more unfortunate were those who could not take the game back. I think at that point it's class-action lawsuit time against the game manufacturer and SafeDisk for failing to deliver a workable product, damage to machines and breaking the basic EULA that is supposed to give the user the ability to create a backup so they don't have to spend another $10 or so if their CD is scratched. SafeDisk is the worst. I think there is other disk locking software out there that performs better but I'm not sure. Hopefully if BTS goes this route in the future, they will use something that is more compatible. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Originally posted by sitzkrieg: Even more unfortunate were those who could not take the game back. Worth mentioning that German game shops do not allow you to bring the game back, which is exactly the market in question here. Also worth mentioning that it is no CD-ROM drive manufracturer's fault. This copy protection uses undocumented and unsupported features not in the CD standard. Most CD-ROM manufracturers do offer compatibility to safedisk, since customers would otherwise bitch at the CD-ROM, not knowing the facts. But in a lawsuit the drive manufracturer would win anytime.

Redwolf Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 To give a real-world example to illustrate what safedisk does. Imagine you buy a new Ford car and you tow it by hooking up to the rear mirrors. The rear mirrors break. Big surprise. But major towing truck manufracturers offer only a hook for rear mirrors anymore. So customers bitch at Ford until Ford makes rear mirrors strong enough to tow the car. Ford also gets all the blame, since they now admitted it was their fault in first place and they suddenly, "for no good reason", made their cars ugly, and raised their prices.

I was just stating that sometimes the user is stuck with no firmware upgrades for the CD-ROM drive as prescribed by the game publisher/SafeDisk to resolve the problem. It would be the game publisher and SafeDisk that should be the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
