Painkiller Patch

The Painkiller FAQ (thanks Frans) now offers the promised patch to address CD compatibility problems experienced by some users (story), along with this note: "In addition, please ensure that there are no virtual drives mounted/emulated, debuggers and/or auto-update applications running."

spume:

Actually, the honest people that are smart will stop buying games as long as they're treated like trash/criminals by the game indistry. e.g. the industry that showes trash onto a cd, patches it a few months later, and restrict what you can and not do with the cd - as well as what you can run on your computer - in the name of "protection vs unlicensed distribution of software", which does'nt work that way.

As long as software companies continue to cram "Needs CD IN DRIVE TO PLAY", "YOU CANNOT RUN virtual cd's", "you cant play this game from a cd-writer", "you cant have a cd-writer, " etc etc etc. they can fuck off.

I stopped purchasing games a few months ago due to the CD-Issue.


Btw: dagok and mordor - you guys are insane.
