Has anyone tried this game? I bought it a couple of days ago and it installed fine. but it wont run. all I get is the little banner "flashpoint gold edition" then it goes away and the game doesnt start.
going to the games web site and checking their troubleshooting faq's I find out why. the upshot is this game looks for clone Cd on your hard drive and wont run if it is present. what kind of B.S. is that? they may have a right to code their game to do that but seems to me they should be required to document that on the OUTSIDE of the box they are selling the game in.
Thank God I bought this at circuit city and I can get my money back. becasue I am not going to let some damn game developer dictate what software I can have on my hard drive.
