Firstly, as it is Vista, it had to unistall the original game first. Then I had to install about 5 patches, and then after all that I cannot remember my password, so have to re-associate the product key to a new user name, but once I had done that, it told me the user name was already in use, and I had to do it like 3 times to finally get it to work.... It is so unnecessary. |
I'm not sure why you're complaining. The auto-patching is a god's gift to PC gamers by making things standard and not worry about seaching for patches.
Then you don't remember your password.... and you chose 3 names that were already in use... I don't see the problem, it also sounds more like it's your own fault.
| Munkeh111 said: Maybe the issue is caused by Vista, maybe it is because I downloaded it (from direct to drive) but it is pointless making it so complicated to get someone to play the game. I beleive it is because I dont have the disc that i always have to be online when playing the game. Why can't a product code be enough! They just make it far too overcomplicated to get it working. I still need to get the original working with it |
That is because Direct2Drive is a piece of shit, I don't even know why you buy the game from there. Steam and Impulse do not require you to be online to play the games, and they are far superior than D2D.
You need the original? That is not right, Opposing Fronts should be fully workable without the original CoH. That's most likely either your own fault or D2D's, because Steam lets you play Opposing Fronts stand-alone (I assume).
