guys, there is no reason to jump all over the poster - if what he's saying happened to him, that's all that truly matters.
is there exaggeration ("...all...")? probably, but that doesn't mean he's not frustrated.
remember when they went to patch (i think 1.42) and all those hours had to be replayed 'cause it introduced a bug??? i was pretty PO'ed too.
we've all (probably) had issues with a piece of software or hardware - it's not fun and definitely puts you into a bad mood.
morbo, thanks for posting the info about the cd key and larian's ability to help. that is the kind of info he needs.
we all know this is a very good game, but let's not jump down people's throat because they have objections - especially when they are legitimate. just look at all the people having crashes to desktop, memory not being released, etc. there ARE some issues here, so let's focus on the workarounds.
problems don't mean it's not a good game. but a good game doesn't mean there aren't problems. they can co-exist.
adraeus, take morbo's advice and contact larian. trust me, the game is worth the effort.

okay, rant over. thanks for listening.
