WARNING about MTW/VI Gold Edition

I think it's better to purchase the games separately.

I have read the sticky threads and still have no idea how things work.

Wrong thread

I'm inclined to agree with you...

As it stands the only way to make the product work is to break the EULA.

As such it is a faulty product as there is no legal way of patching it and should be returned to the place of purchase.

I suggest also sending a letter of complaint (by snail mail) not emailed to SEGA as they are both the publishers and owners of CA. Emails will are easier to ignore on the whole. If anyone can think of other venues to voice your complaints I suggest you list them in this thread.

Petition to get MTW GOLD Patched to 2.01

It has been shown in the past that only the squeakest of wheels can hope for proper patching of TW game. This is one of the areas where it falls short of being one of meeting its full potential.

I am reprinting my post made over at the com forum,
just in case they take it as encouraging piracy over there and delete it,

the only way these players can currently get online with us is to break the EULA,
while that is a legal technicality here in Australia (where the law specifically states you can make a backup Providing you retain a legal copy And do not distribute your backup),
it is an issue in many other countries.

What is needed is a patch to bring Gold up to 2.01 standard
(which would require developer resources to make)

or legal permission from CA/Sega to operate from a backup.
(which would simply require a lawyer to draft such an exemption for Gold Edition for which players could apply)

As I said in the petition thread, Dutch buyers should not worry because the Gold Edition released here is patched to 2.01.

**Tony Furze** · 06-25-2006, 15:22

Interesting...why on earth did they do that? As I have been suspecting, there ARE two versions of the Gold Edition- the 2.0 amd the 2.01.

I don't think it is because you bought the Dutch edition. One person installed it on two computers and got a patched and unpatched version. In other words, something strange is going on, and possibly the Gold edition does come patched, but the patch isn't always implemented properly.
