Okay what the hell? My play disk has recently stopped functioning too. Will Bioware help me?
-Throbblefoot
[snapback]28757[/snapback]
oooooh.... that is not good. You can play without it though, but BzK's problem must be different, because if a patch stopped it from installing it wouldn't matter because the version is before the latest patches. So a patch wouldn't be able to unless you bought a brand new one. Hmm, weird issue. I think I confused myself.
Thats wierd, I havent used a disk for nwn since HoTU came out. It runs without it. Wierd.
[snapback]28758[/snapback]
Yes, none of us use the playdisk. That's why it was so shocking that Throbble's play disk no longer worked when the 1.67 patch corrupted her install and she had to reinstall NWN from scratch (like I suggested to BzK). Fortunately when she went to reinstall and her play disk didn't work she was able to use my play disk to complete the install.
I'm sure Bioware or Atari will replace defective/broken disks for you, just got to figure out where to send the old disk.
Also, there was something about a problem with the play disk and certain brands of DVD burner. If your installing from a DVD burner BzK, try upgrading it's firmware to the most current version.
-420
Hell, you don't seem to have the first clue what we're talking about.
[snapback]28763[/snapback]
Well, you said the playdisk wasn't working, as such you could have easily meant you tried putting it in and playing. Since you didn't say anything about it not working for installation, BzK did.
That's why I pointed out the part about the patch, in case someone made the connection that the patch could be the problem, when it couldn't be for BzK's install, because the disk version wouldn't have the latest patch, which is why it would be different from your situation, if you were just trying to use it to play, and someone thought it would be the patch making you unable to do so.
Now if you can undesrtand what I mean by all those words you'll get what I meant, if not oh well.
BzK, I guess if you have more than one rom drive, you could try installing using the other one/s.

Well, assuming that there are any decent computer games after NWN2, I doubt game developers are in any hurry to release a product that only runs on one version of a single operating system. If anything we'll get a few years of DirectX10 compatable games (like the old MMX days) that can still run on most platforms but will give special features to Vista users.

Do you even know what OS a modern mac uses?
It uses a Mach-BSD kernel - thats right - a REAL UNIX. You are probably still living in pre-OSX days...
As for your "Linux Rules" statement, ill stand by my previous argument. Linux DOESNT rule. In fact, it doesnt really do that much that you'd be aware of from a user-perspective. Its just a kernel.
Maybe what you meant to say was that GNU/Linux rules. Again, I would disagree, and say that the GNU part is what does the ruling, and that the linux part just tags along for the ride.
If you are interested in real UNIX, as opposed to a UNIX-clone, then go for any of the BSDs, which are a (more than GPL) open alternative to commercial UNIX.
Im not going to get into any fanboy argument, which is why I will not propose any suggestions as to what you should use. All I will say is that your assumptions of linux are misguided.
That is my "2 bucks" as a POSIX engineer with 7 years commericial experience (including linux KERNEL development)

Well, seeing as Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra has a artificial caramel flavor, just like Dr. Pepper, I wouldn't see why not. Sounds like a totally awesome combo to me, but that may be biased since Twix is one of my favorite candy bars, and Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra/Dr. Pepper are one of my favorite soft drinks. Of course, I like Dr. Pepper slightly more than Pibb Xtra, and I rate Pepsi evenly with Dr. Pepper.
I don't drink soda/pop anymore anyway. I've stopped for a month now.

Ever try "Orbitz"? It's sort of like tiny colored balls of gelatin suspended in a clear syrupy liquid. We saw some at a random grocery store on the way to a cabin in Yosemite. Bought like 3 bottles but only got half-way through the first one before we decided to experiment on them.
Turns out, when you microwave it half the gelatin spheres sink to the bottom while the other half float to the top! Fascinating but definitely not made for drinking.
