The demo installer crashed my computer. Twice.

When it finally installed, it claimed my DirectX was out of date... but Microsoft's DirectX updater says otherwise.

Demo does not run on hardware/software setup that ran BF2 (the same bloody engine) and other contemporary games= -1
Demo apparently believes that it knows more than MS about the latest DirectX version= -0.5
Demo installer crashed system twice= -1

I am not optimistic. Not that I intend to buy the game unless it turns out to be incredibly impressive anyway; even then I'll surely wait at least a few months for the price to drop, and I'll just as surely hunt for ways to disable these supposed "dynamic ads" that I've heard will be in the game. Still, a few friends of mine who have the demo working say it is good, and I'm inclined to at least take a good hard look if people I trust say good things about it.

And just because I'm here, and I like to shamelessly plug good work, the Clancore team will be making the Starsiege:2845 Alpha Tech Release available for download on the 18th. I mention this only because 2845 will be a combined arms game, and probably have at least some appeal to the Battlefield crowd. And the multiplayer of the final product will be free. And I'll bet my bottom dollar that even the Alpha will have fewer bugs in it than anything EA can come up with.

That is all.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
