Act of War - Windows 98 ?

[GLH]

I don't know on what site you have looked, but when i got to this site: http://www.atari-support.de/index.php?product=2589 , i can't see any WIN98 !!!

i think it does'nt matter if it's the collectors edition or the normal one
(that would be total unfair)

ps : können wir deutsch reden ?

@herc
Yes I can clearly see it says Win98! If I was you I would be demanding a refund if you cannot get the game to work on your Win98 system!
P.S: and why do you have 2 user names?

Did you update to latest patch for game?

Have you installed GFX card drivers?

Have you installed DirectX 9?

Do you have compatible GFX card and Sound Card?

Also Securom have released an updated exe for the game here

ProtectionID scan shows no protection on this file, only this:

File Type : Exe, Size : 20413952 (01377E00h) Bytes
-> Suspicious MZ Header.. 
[!] Possible CD/DVD-Key or Serial Check -> CDKey
- Scan Took : 4.562 Seconds

So I guess I'm gonna test this one and see what happens. Perhaps it is an "official" NoCD for the patch. I'll be back later.

[DABhand]

I dunno, but its straight from securom so I doubt there is any badness involved, and it may possibly be a no-cd seeing as many are having problems with their latest protection

yes (twice) ... 10 Days ago,never received an answer

This is an english-only forum

sorry thought so because your link was the german Atari-site

sorry but this is not possible in Germany (yeah ... it is CRAP),
one the gamebox is opened,exchange/money back is impossible
no matter if its your fault or not

@herc
they didn't answer???wtf???

[kosmiq]

Send more mails to them, if they still refuse to answer get regged in their official forums (if you aren't). If that does not help write what has happened on some big sites (surely you have some real geeky site in germany too) that often helps alot.

About the open-box-"law" it is the same here in sweden, the only chance to get a new one is if the CD was broken when the game was purchased. Sometimes not even that will be enough for them, as they claim that you have broken it yourself...

[tbaher]

I know this is none of my business but you have 2 options..
either buy winxp home for $50 (almost the same as a videogame)
and then you can play the game. (and life will be better in general.. but that's not my business)
Or be angry about not getting a refund and losing $50 ..
..


Edit:
Of course there is ebay.. but.. you want to play the game right?
