http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=21632&Number=395429#Post395429It is rude to hack a game (though a bunch of us did to get it into English). Bad enough you cracked the game to play for free. Then asking how to get an illegal copy to work on the developers own forum is a kick in the balls. But then to try and tell someone else the game sucks and doesn't work? The forum Terms of Service won't allow me to say how bad that is!
The game works properly (like a vase) when not hacked and cracked.
