Trouble Opening Game

DDT · 07-04-2009, 11:39 PM

I've had trouble with very large downloads in the past, so I decided to d/l OOTPX before buying. Seems to have gone okay but I cant open the game. When I click on the shortcut I get the hourglass pointer thingy for a few seconds and then it shuts down. Is the game searching for the elicense I dont have yet? I owned a previous version of the game and remember being prompted for the license. Thanks in advance.

No, it isn't the license. The license works the same as in previous versions - you are right, you will get prompted later.

Sounds like a Vista permissions problem or the such. I don't have Vista though, so I can't really help much. Sorry.

Seems like they are having the same trouble. They don't have a 100% answer yet, but they are working on it.

I re-downloaded the game overnight. Seems to be opening fine. Never got an error message. Thanks for the help.
