Try rebooting. Sometimes Windows doesn't properly register the fonts until the next restart.

[quote]This whole game is messed up. I have the latest so called patch, and my crashes got worse. I then got help from Tech support. now my game wont load at all. I want my money back!!!![/quote] That is something you will need to discuss with sales/support. We cannot authorize or provide refunds via the forums. Please note though that the latest update is the 1.1 beta, which is provided for testing purposes. If you're not interested in testing, you may find it less frustrating to sti

Oblivion uses GOO (see the product page). FO3 is still GFWL though so the script extender should work normally with it.

Auto insurance requirements are created and enforced by the states, and only apply to those who wish to drive. You have the option to walk, bike, take public transit, carpool, or otherwise get a ride if you can't or won't buy auto insurance. Medical insurance is now a federal requirement, and applies to everyone, period. The only option you have to avoid it (and the fines and potential jail time for noncompliance) is to be dead. It's really not an apt comparison at all.

Sorry, but we do not support running our games under emulation as a general rule. In this case, it appears that Parallels is not providing the game with sufficient information about the video chipset's functions or with enough access to it. The game should work fine though under Boot Camp (which only emulates the BIOS and otherwise runs Windows natively) if that is an option for you.

Please contact [email protected] for help. The forums aren't an official support venue.

[quote]I think it would be very helpful if the badged showed up in the original post, not just replies.[/quote] There used to be a little background swoosh that matched badges, but it seems to have gotten lost in one of the rebuilds along the way.

That issue is usually caused by security software on your machine interfering with the download, or in rare cases by bad system memory. Try downloading again with any security software disabled; failing that, please contact [email protected] for further troubleshooting help.

[quote]as I am not familiar with the US tax system could someone please list me up what kind of taxes/fees/whatever a single person household with a income of 15.000/25.000$ pays roughly.[/quote] If you include the "hidden" share of SS/Medicare taxes that the empoyer is required to pay on the person's behalf (which could otherwise be higher pay for that person), they would be paying at least $4-5k annually for all federal taxes combined, plus another $500 to $1000 to state/local, depe

[quote]While I don't agree that's what it means this is probably where they interpret it.[/quote] Indeed it is used to that end. The "general welfare" clause does not cover ensuring *individual welfare*, IMO, rather it would include things such as infrastructure and security which are shared by all and allow people to see to their own individual welfare more effectively. It certainly doesn't authorize the government to fine people for not regularly paying a significant amount

[quote]While I understand Stardock typically does "a lot with a little", how much would you estimate these companies are playing with? $40 million? $60 million? Are we at Waterworld-esque levels yet? Does that money typically include EVERY cost associated with a game, such as licensing fees, marketing, etc.?[/quote] It was recently in the news that Valve budgeted $25m for marketing alone on L4D2. At your very generous $25/unit return that'd be 1m copies sold just to recoup on

It's something we've discussed and will probably do in the not-too-far future.

I don't know about Obama Money, but I was surprised to find that due to some buffs to the tuition credits this year (via the stimulus bill) I'll at least be getting a fair amount of "kryo money" back.

Demigod must be updated from the initial retail release in order to use LAN play.

In the impulse app. If you enable demos in the orb menu, it'll show on the my games tab.

Demo players use a separate lobby, however you can freely join #demigoddemo in IRC, and you can install the demo alongside the full game if you want to play with some friends who are looking into the game.

Hail Caesar, eh?

[quote]BTW, official sticky post on the english anno 1404 forum for today says the Tages DRM servers are down again! They are sorry about this, etc.[/quote] They're back up as of early this morning.

[quote]I wonder why. Does the public system fare especially badly for cancer treatment?[/quote] As cancer tends to be a very time-sensitive condition (the longer it goes unchecked, the more it grows and the greater the chance it will spread to other organs), I'd expect any system that introduces wait times is going to have a negative impact on outcomes.

[quote]but how am i able to play games that need direct x 10 ? and yet i cnt get 9?[/quote] As you're running Windows XP (for which DX9 is the end of the line), those games may have the option to use DX10 on Vista but you have not been using it. At the end of the day, the Geforce4MX was an outdated card when it was first released (it's not a "true" GF4--it's actually based off the Geforce2). While some modern games may degrade gracefully on such a card, it's not something you

[quote]It looks like a common problem with old video cards[/quote] Your suspicion is correct; your video card does not meet the game's minimum requirements.

[quote]Chip Type: GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU[/quote] Sorry, but your video card is not capable of running the game. The game needs a DirectX9 card, but the Geforce4 MX only supports DirectX7. You would need a new video card (and depending on what slots it has, possibly even a new machine) in order to run PM08. If you don't have any other machines that are capable and cannot or do not wish to upgrade, you can contact [email protected] about the possibility of obtaining a refun

As sins stores the settings in the user appdata folder on the local machine, it'll revert to defaults each time to take it to a new place, and the settings will only be stored on that machine. But it should run.

It's the server, should be fixed now.

Retail/production costs add a lot more.
