Who can i blame?? Game developers for not releasing a compatible patch or board developers for not really helping fix the problem?

This topic went dead awfully quick and i still have problems! What happened to everyone else???

My 3rd reply today from codemasters....I truely dont think these people know what they are doing! Please refer to my reply to them above, the this is their reply to me...

Once again i receive a new reply from codemasters and once again its my computer at fault.....or of course a scrathed cd as they put it!! (cd has been out of this box once and has been in my drive now for 6 days as i try and cofigure my computer to get the friggin thing to work!!!!!!!!! No scratches..). The first reply of course i was told to update my drivers on graphics card, mainboard, cdrom drive, bios,etc! Aot of good that did! .......................................................................................... Quote: Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer Services concerning Operation Flashpoint. Your query was dealt with by Rob. The problem is due to the files not being installed accurately from your original CD. This can be due to: 1) A defective CD - check for scratches etc. 2) Errors on your hard drive - check using Scandisk or similar 3) Driver problems relating to your CD - check for firmware updates/controller drivers etc. Please quote your ref. number in all further correspondence. IF YOU NEED TO REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE ENTIRE TEXT IS INCLUDED IN YOUR REPLY. Regards Codemasters Customer Services .......................................................................................... Do they honestly not follow whats going on with this s**t?? Anyway...time to e-mail them a third time... LOL My 3rd reply to codemasters: Dear Rob, Do you people honestly have any idea what you are on about?? Do you not follow official forums concerning the products you people release?? This is now the second reply i have had from codemasters telling me to update drivers etc on my (NEW) computer! When will you people admit that you have released software with bugs that you refuse to acknowledge??? Please read the following (official) Operation Flashpoint forum..... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=4&topic=1817 If you people took the time to read here a bit you would quickly find that the problem is in the software and not our computers! I have alot more than the minimum requirement verifications on the original box i purchased!! Can it be right that i pay alot of money for such a great title and then be exspected to continously configure my computer to bipass a bug in your software?? I hope very much to see an official reply from you on the board that i have linked to you or a better solution than the original driver updates or cd issues (scratches)! Thankyou for your time Rob (robarinodk) (Edited by robarinodk at 12:23 am on Nov. 22, 2001)

Maybe they jumped the gun like they did with world war ii online...just wanted it out on the market to start getting cash in, then worry about the problems when it suits them!!! I just wrote to them again...will keep you posted if i get a reply!!

Where are all the officials from this site who helped make this great but bloody annoying game???

weird2u2.......hes got a point!!! I´ll be happy to just get my money back and download the bloody thing!!!

gamba mate...you should try reading a bit more...then you may find that alot of us have tried re-installing a numerous number of times!!! Thanx anyway for upping the post!

I really dont think they give a s**t about the problems we are going through, otherwise surely we would have ahd some official reply by now...Besides they already got your money!!!!

hey jimtit..... still no reply from which i know of!! The only place i can think of that you may find your extractor is www.G************d.com Goodluck!!

I hear ya weird2u2.  Ive tried all the same things. Also considered the drugs to keep me battling with this problem! Bloody KT133 system or developers i guess we should say! Im still waiting for an official reply to this problem! But be assured all...I brought an original copy knowing full well that i could have just downloaded this game! Wasnt cheap either considering all the problems and upgrades, etc..im going through!! So heres the thing. Unless the developers sort this problem out before there release of the official addon....I will advise all exactly where they can download the official addon free when its released just to get some satisfaction that someone got something out of there lack of reply to this matter! Besides who´s to say we dont get the same problems with the addon after going out and buyiny that too?? Developers read these forums...they also know theres alot of people with this problem....why cant they just release a patch for us via kt133 users? RE: antivirus software.....have completely formattedand tried your solution too...still no goer! All the best! (Edited by robarinodk at 11:31 am on Nov. 18, 2001)

Ok...now im really pulling my hair out!! Where does this end?? They have made a top game here and i cant even really get into it. For 3 days now have i tried all to upgrade so i can add more addons! Why release patches that cause so many problems for us VIA users?? I have tried all that it mentioned! Tried installing the game god knows how many times!! Windows re-installations! Upgrades and downgrades of Bios and chip drivers! If i knew this problem before hand i would never have brought this game and just downloaded a pirated version and played that!!!! Is all this trouble worth the money i payed for this game? I hope to hear from developers!! THANX!!!

I have also tried to re-install...still problems. Only the game now crashes on me too with version 1.0. I have tried 4 different bios versions and also 4in1 4.32 + 4.31. Im going crazy here. Even brought the original just so i could try the game with the full upgrades. I even contacted codemasters and there advice was to upgrade my drivers..LOL Also tried turing dma off...no luck....
