Title: Auspicious Start Post by: jpark on March 04, 2006, 08:06:02 AM This is hardly a topic but considering the low interest in this forum a new thread wasn't going to hurt.
Got my pre-ordered DDO delivered to me by courier yesterday. Put the dvd in - and was immediately told the set-up files were corrupt and the program needed to be replaced. I don't have the will to pursue this matter beyond this post. Hopefully DDO's initial box sales will keep it afloat for awhile. After all - they have my purchase :| Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Arthur_Parker on March 04, 2006, 08:22:30 AM You could try this if you want http://download.turbine.com/ddo/ddo_client_install.exe
Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: jpark on March 04, 2006, 08:48:23 AM Thanks for that.
I just shudder... the game is still born out of the box unless you download it... I can't wait for the other surprises. Wait. I can. Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Calandryll on March 04, 2006, 08:51:15 AM We've actually had very few reports of corrupted DVDs, but I am sorry that yours had a problem. The link Arthur posted will get you started though.
Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Trippy on March 04, 2006, 08:56:48 AM Getting a physically damaged or mispressed CD or DVD is pretty rare in my experience but it does happen. I bought the CE version of AOE III about a month ago and disc 1 was bad so I exchanged the entire package and those discs were fine.
Edit: "bad" as in mispressed since there were no visible scratches on that disc Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: jpark on March 04, 2006, 10:11:01 PM Okay downloaded the software from the link.
It's Saturday night - and all the servers are down. Strike II. Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Calandryll on March 04, 2006, 10:53:46 PM Okay downloaded the software from the link. Sigh. You really are having some bad luck with DDO. :( This is the first unscheduled downtime (crash) since we launched a week ago. I'm sorry you've had such a rocky start.It's Saturday night - and all the servers are down. Strike II.

Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Ironwood on March 06, 2006, 02:49:03 AM Well, you can't fault the customer focused Developers at any rate....
Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: fatboy on March 06, 2006, 10:14:59 AM Yeah....it crashed both Saturday (3/4) and Sunday (3/5) night for me, too....Hopefully....today's (3/6) scheduled downtime will fix some of these issues.
For me, what really *sucked* about Saturday's crash was I lost some really good armor and weapon drops due to the crash.....Oh well...life goes on... :| Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Zetleft on March 06, 2006, 11:39:26 AM Well, you can't fault the customer focused Developers at any rate.... No doubt, plus it's not like I didn't know this was opening week of a MMORPG. Anyone not NCsoft still can't get the launch right. Hopefully 3rd night is the charm for my cathedral group. Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: Kageru on March 11, 2006, 06:04:29 AM Ok, so my sub-conscious is hopelessly anal. I think you wanted "Auspicious" in the title. The Auspices are rather long since gone. Title: Re: Auspices Start Post by: jpark on March 13, 2006, 10:10:34 AM Ok, so my sub-conscious is hopelessly anal.

Title: Re: Auspicious Start Post by: Toast on March 13, 2006, 10:54:32 AM Also, I think you may mean inauspicious. An auspicious beginning is a good omen or a sign of good times to come.

Title: Re: Auspicious Start Post by: schild on March 13, 2006, 11:30:02 AM I like where this is going.
Title: Re: Auspicious Start Post by: Toast on March 13, 2006, 12:59:11 PM Sarcasm is a beautiful and obvious thing on the internet.

Someone fell into the sarchasm ? Again ? |
