this game (The Witcher) cost $15 and is listed as requiring vista. i installed it in .5 seconds on xp with 0 hiccups. since 48 hours later i got a sweet bug with a jinxed nero 9 download and upgraded to windows 7 RC i've had to , in this order:

find out that the CD protection requires a driver that can't be installed on vista/7 (it's the TAGE driver and it will send your vista/7 to the blue screen of death if it tries to install), figure out that i can bypass that with a crack, find the only crack i can find is for an Enhanced Edition, have to download a 900mb patch to bring it to enhanced edition, find out that to install that that i have to register the game, find out that i have to create a fuckin account with some polish website to be able to register my game, use my registration info in like 2 or 3 places before i can attempt upgrading, find out a language pack is required to upgrade (another 450mb download), find out that the language pack is corrupt, find another download for the language pack that's moving at 1/4 the speed of the first one, and am currently waiting. i started installing this game at 5pm pst. i've went to a barbeque, i've gotten verbally and physically angry about it/laughed at by the woman, and i dropped somethin off my table and broke it when i slammed my forehead on the desk repeatedly as one cockblock came up after another

i've never ever ever ever ever ever had a problem installing games. this post is totally insignificant but i want to rant and hope maybe someone else has a story about something that's supposed to be super simple

update: the game update started installing finally. and lo and behold, i receive: Modifying game files. THis may take up to two hours. Manually interrupting this process will necessitate re-installation of the game.

i think i can install and update Everquest to live faster than this fuckin bullshit

I've had similar issues to this before.

I can't remember if this game did it to me as well or not, but it is a LOT of fun. Don't give up on it so easily if you can.

yeah the little inkling i played before i went to windows 7 is what kept me going. and thank god it was worth the wait. dx10 makes a pretty huge difference on this particular title imo

any of these work for you?

Console gaming is great for specific things. Console gaming is incredibly inferior for others. We've beaten this to death and you're a fag.

console gaming is great for 40oz Friday
