Because it's still the 19th, but tomorrow I finish work at midday then have to walk past several computer stores on my way home. It will be mine, oh yes it will be mine BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA.

Anyway the 5 hour head start over other workers might just give me time to reinstall the whole of BG2 http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

hopefully my copy should be waiting on my door step when I get home. Well it looks like I know what I'll be doing all! summer....sometimes I think I should get a social life but then I look at BG2 and promptly fire up my puter and start playing http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

I'm having a few problems... like it crashed when I tried to load the game after I installed ToB. Then I did a full reinstall and my CD player is having problems reading the disk. Apart from that it's going great.

Glad it's finally coming to the U.K. What the heck took so long. Don't worry about bugs, and such Epona. I haven't had any yet. You should buy it, it's worth it!

I am also having CD problems - I have also posted on the TOB board. I get the message:
"Software Production Error. Insert Original CD"
Is this what happened to you? If so, how did you fix it?

Awesome game http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../xyxthumbs.gif I have had it for a couple of weeks and would guess I am 1/2 way through it and have not encountered any bugs (at least none that I know of http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif) You should have no problems with it!! Just enjoy and kick some Bhaalspawn butt!

Epona 07-21-2001 05:11 AM

No, Windows 98, but apparently I need to dl the Beta patch (sigh) because it is a problem with the laserlock security coding or something like that, it's all greek to me.

Apparently 5-10% of users with the European version are affected by this. Typically it happens to me, without the knowledge or patience to sort it all out!

I have now uninstalled SOA, and reinstalled it, and now THAT won't work either. So I now have to sort that out before I dl the patch, which will probably take ages. And there I was, thinking I would spend a nice Saturday playing my new game. Silly me. I was thinking that the developer/testing people were paid lots of money to make sure that problems like this were sorted out before release, but no, and it just ruins my weekend.

As you can probably tell, I'm really annoyed and kinda jabbing at my keyboard with a snarl on my face.

Huzzah! Good ol' Amazon.co.uk dropped it through my letterbox friday morning. The patch has fixed that dratted software recognition failure, and even now I am up to the elbows in a Highlander-style bloody Gathering of Bhaalspawn... hmmm.

Vaskez 07-21-2001 05:42 PM

Hey Epona, I had exactly the same problem as you did with the laserlock crap being unable to authenticate the CD. Downloading the beta patch fixes everything nicely though.

Hesperex 07-21-2001 08:23 PM

Well lovely Amazon got it to me Saturday morning which is now yesterday,and it's all seems pretty good so far and no problems what atall yet, and I'm using win2k with service pack 2 which I herd had some nasty problems http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif . I do like the Wild Mage, I was also under the impression that Rapiers were going to be included, they are not.
