I'd have just downloaded a no-CD crack for it. And why couldn't you return it? If it doesn't work, then it's not fit for purpose- I wouldn't have left the shop until I'd been refunded. So we're back to a buggy game and one which didn't agree with your hardware. Hardly compelling proof I'd say. |
With the Civ4 I did. I was informed to get SecureRom (However it is spelled) I had to update my BIOS. As for not being able to return it, well I want it to work, I hoped also for a patch. But unlike videogame stuff, places don't take back opened computer software anymore. You will get back the same copy of the game, not your money back. And this is everywhere: Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc... They are all like this. They offer you the same thing back.
My take here is that it is best not to mess with PC software and be done with it.
