IRSWalker Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Their mail to me was only in response to a query I sent in regarding whether they had my correct order details (my email address changed......)I haven't had confirmation of shipping yet, either.

Star99 Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 First time newbie post here (many time lurker). Fedex just dropped off a beautiful package containing BCM.

b_nemeth Posted November 20, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Yes.1. They're not supposed to do that. Those units are for marketing purposes only and I gave them to EB at cost. All 800 of them. If every manager gave away their free copy, those are copies I could've sold. I NEVER wanted to even do that because I suspected that (a) it was just money WASTED since EB managers don't ****ing play games, as far as I know - especially not BCM ( I didn't see the merits in doing it. But, my EB partners insisted, citing all manner of marketing rhetoric. So, I conceded and had 800 extra units shipped to them specifically for the stores. Now this. *sigh* Do you know how much money 800 unit is? Sure, its a marketing expense, but (a) thats not my responsiblity ( its not like I can afford to lose a *single* dime on the product.2. That copy will probably not authenticate on mp servers. In fact, I'd be very surprised if you can patch it at all (I'm not stupid) since I know the entire range of serial numbers on those units (for tracking purposes).I suggest that you get your butt back over there, give him his copy back, tell him thank you and buy your own.[ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]Ok I will pick up a copy of my own next time I am at the mall, I didn't mean to cause any problems.A note: I the game did kick me out to the windows desktop 3times last night during 4hours of game play. My system: Athlon 600 256meg ram Windows 2000 (with current service pack) sound blaster live PNY geforce mx400 64megOn crashing I did have a dialog box saying "BCM.exe cause an error".

Lonestar Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Mine gave me no problems at all except graphical glitches. Of course, I'm at MINIMUM specs, so I expected it to have some quirks. I have to say the music is beautiful. I really liked it. The major problem I had was that I am a TOTAL newbie to BC and just SUCKED at it. It was like Gilligan trying to take over for Picard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYIYou didn't cause any problems. So, no worriesAs for your problem. Dunno. Go post in the tech support forum once you've bought your own copy and registered it. But just looking at your setup, it could be anything from hardware right down to drivers.[ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiron_Darkstar Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 FedEx just delivered my copy of BCM a few mins ago. Seems EB over-nighted mine at no extra cost. Must go to work now , though , so it'll be tonight before I get it installed and give it a whirl. Hope you guys get your copy soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to wait for tonight to give it a try.Ed(Thanks SC for all your hard work!)If you open the box, you should see the quality of the materials and why I was so vehement in my soapbox article about production delays. For example, just think, that color map you see on the keyboard sheet, would've been in Grey scale at the center of the manual etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korono Lakeela Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 Got mine,I have to say Derek, it all paid off, everything looks very sleek and just plain awesome, especially the keyboard sheet, the color map takes the cake!
