ARGH! I'm ANGRY ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

I'm looking for a patch for Civ III - it has been of the CD-ROM of a gaming magazine in the last months.

The readme file says (in German) that the official site is www.civ3.com

It's in English, but who cares ?

I go to it, look under Ssupport -> Patches

Okay, there are two Patches listed.

And one sentence : "Not compatible with european versions.

WHAT ? Not compatible with european versions ? And no european patches there AT ALL ? THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE GAME !!!

ANY site that claims to be an "official" one SHOULD be adressed to ANY country in this world I thought - am I so wrong ? Where is my patch when I can't have it from the OFFICIAL site ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Now I'm really angry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

These stupid stupid "marketing specialists" neglecting the presence of everything non-english out there .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Now I'm trying the Gereman publisher ... Atari doesn't even have the game listed ... only through Google I find a page about it. I try to download ... "no such file or directory". Does this mean they have actually REMOVED the Patch ??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

I want to cry out. Loud. Very loud.

To let everyone hear my frustration.


Especially into the faces of those who are responsible for this mess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

This is what I call "user un-friendly".
