[quote who="kryo" reply="116" id="2752401"] Stardock should be happy about the fact that even people playing with the cracked version are submitting their debug. Then once it's all back on track, then maybe you can do something about it... The issue with that is that bad cracks can and do cause new malfunctions in the game, which pirates then try to get support from us for (!) and our time is wasted chasing down such illegitimate reports when we're trying to resolve issues for payin

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="110" id="2752294"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 109Fun fact: The pirated Skidrow version is based on the Digital Download of the game, thus it does require a cracked executable because the DD does do a one-time auth. If they had waited to pirate the retail disk, all they would've needed to do is make a disk image and upload it. No crack required. I think it has something to do with the delays in sending the boxed version to those who ordered it, the download

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="109" id="2752284"] Let me stress again that to the best of my knowledge elemental does not contain CD checks Yes, Elemental does not do a disk check. I got my LE box, and it's unopened and I'm playing Elemental just fine. The whole "I must crack the executable because I want to keep the box in mint condition" thing does not apply to Elemental, given the lack of disk check. Fun fact: The pirated Skidrow version is based on the Digital Download

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="108" id="2752253"] Quoting c0rwin, reply 102 I must point out that I am not involved in the core development of Elemental, my involvement has with the exception of the new frame rate cap and cpu usage limiter added in 1.07 been limited to the development of the overlay technology used by the game (and demigod to a degree). This includes the mods UI for sharing mods between users along with some other dialogs that you see such

Apologize?!?! Heck, you deserve a medal. Best I can do it (well, I could give more karma but 1's my limit) I experience the OOM crash fairly often (one thing I notice is that saving instigates it, especially if I'm starting to see stuttering then save, but also saving afte

[quote who="surlybob" reply="55" id="2751623"] Quoting Machater, reply 52 As multiplayer was being prepared they needed to make sure people could not cheat online. If the game didn't check itself out, it would be real easy to cheat online.Then block access to multiplayer. Blocking access to everything is specifically a move against piracy (DRM). Exhibit A: What was the first thing in this thread the stardock employee mentioned? Answer: piracy. Stardock sells out its supposed princip
