Orion....granted Luciel was a little on edge in his reply, he is right. The publishers help out alot more than we could....Just thank god you aren't dealing with EA...LOL....I dealt with them over a Battlefield 2 CD Key problem...that resulted in me swallowing my pride and taking the game back to the retailer and getting a different copy.....And Luciel....Granted I am new here and have little to no room say anything to you, you might want to lay back just a bit...I mean in the forum, it doesn't explicitly say "Don't Ask For Help On Games", I am sure that Orion thought that it may have been a common problem and somebody here may have ran into it, and was simply asking for help, granted he could have put it in the General gaming forum........it's still hardly reason to snap at him...

@jlg6184: This is the PC Game BACKUP Forum, it clearly says this on the Forum title, no support issues should be posted here! If you pick a fight with Luciel, I know who will win

Hehehehe

[jlg6184]

I know that this is the backup part of the forum, hence my reference to the general gaming forums. and picking a fight isn't something I really want to do, I just think Luciel is was kinda hard on Orion....

[DABhand]

Not really though, he is staff and I think hes a bit fed up with people who cant read simple instructions, Backup doesnt mean support, so people just waltz in and think, ok ill post in this section.

As dabhand well said, i'm fedup of people that can't read, specially the ones that don't read the specs on the box before they buy...

[orion2]

Most humble applogies.

Maybe I was too anxious to get it working and seeing as yous probably have more experience than the retailers then this was my port of call.

Again sorry for the inconvenience

[Luciel]

Nah dont worry about it mate, sorry i was bit stressed at the time. but yeah, for your own good, read the tags in the box, saves you from having to return it to the shop
