masternr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Downloading the update now xD was a bit busy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldShaperDragon Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Actually, nobody had to use steam to run the first version of the game. Now it will make the pirates have to wait maybe... 5 minutes before they can play patches before everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 So they managed to release a patch to fix the solution to the crashes. Just a bit of fun before the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldShaperDragon Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm doing some tinkering on the windows end, if this works, post-patch versions will work fine beyond the 2GB limit, but don't get your hopes up. I'll have to do a few hours testing anyways to compare the LAA vs. non-LAA vs. non-LAA+Windows each, and to top it off, I might end up busy for the next 6 hours.

Matth85 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 *facepalm*Really? ... How come every guy and their dog knows how pirating and cracked games work, but not developers?Patching something in steam will do nothing for the piraters. Why? Because most of the times they do not use steam! "If it is made by man, it can be broken by man" - a small quote I read somewhere, which I find perfectly logical. Self-learned crackers are 25 times better than the code monkeys Valve or Bethesda got. Heck, these guys does this for fun! There is nothing a game studio can do to avoid a game being cracked. Jeez, and people wonder why we go pirate? When WE get screwed over, not the guys getting it craced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) I find it ridiculous, that I had to manually disable Steam and the overwrite my executable with one from another person to be even able to play game I bought. Beth and Steam did freaking good job today, like really slapping pirates to the face, from a blow like this, the pirates will not recover for years. *sigh* Edited November 21, 2011 by elvinkun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbeast Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Comedy gold. Beth is completely out of touch by doing this or allowing this to happen. I've got a pro-tip for any Bethesda guys who might be lurking. Pirated downloads do not translate into lost sales. Not even close. The majority wouldn't have bought it anyways. This sort of punitive attempt to stifle pirating is as poorly executed as the release version of this game. It is one thing to release an enjoyable product that is riddled with bugs and occasionally unplayable. It is another thing completely to release a patch that brings zero enjoyment to the player base, and then IT actually breaks the game for many of your customers. I purchased Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind + expansions, Oblivion + expansions and Skyrim. Try not to forget that we just want to play your games and we are happy to pay for them. What we're not happy to do is tolerate your hamfisted pathetic attempts to curb piracy that HAS NO DISCERNABLE IMPACT ON PIRACY, and just screws us over. Seriously wake up.

kitsuneshoujo Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think you guys should go over to the Bethesda forums and post your concerns respectfully over there. They do not lurk, as far as I am aware over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
