[quote]Where do I get this patch?[/quote] Through Impulse.

[quote]I'm downloading at ~500 KB/S and the game is 1.88 GB. Of course, I still need to download Update 0 afterwards.[/quote] When you are using Impulse to get your game, you are downloading the whole updated game. So no further download needed ;)

Have you clicked on the upper left to access option and change settings for various folders? You should use the "download and archive" option next time you want to download the game. That way, you won't have to redownload the game if install fails.

[quote]Failing that, I was hoping there was a way to download the update that I need and ONLY the update that I need without installing the game on a second computer, as neither of the other two computers in my house are capable of installing Demigod (neither has a DVD drive).[/quote] I have surely misuderstood something: How are you expecting to install Demigod from retail version if neither of your computers has a DVD drive? BTW, with Impulse anywhere, all you need is a good

Have you choosen a side? There are 4 demigods associated with light side and 4 with darkness.

I guess it would be better to e-mail [email protected]

[quote who="mewz" reply="5" id="2135393"] So if you ask me it would be fair to hear apology and those who preordered should at least get download same time as beta testers. I think it would be honest and fair, at least what can be done.[/quote] Isn't it what has been said in post #2 of this thread http://forums.demigodthegame.com/345838/page/1/#2134484 ? [quote] Its about damn customer respect and fairness to guy who buys your product

[quote]Just goes to show you. You should always release your game on a Friday...[/quote] Great, that way, when people have problems 1 or 2 day later, support not here

[quote]You miss the basic principles of business here. Stardock affiliated with gamestop by giving them copies to sell where money is shared by agreement, therefore they are partners and affiliates.[/quote] Well, I don't know how selling games works. But I don't think that Stardock GIVES copies to sell. It would make more sense that gamestop BUYS copies to resell them after.

[quote]lol are you kiding me with this?[/quote] No. You are speaking about partnership and what it involves. It is like saying Wall Mart has a partnership with Microsoft because it sells Vista.

[quote]I was talking about the gamestop guy post, wasnt that obvious?[/quote] No, since Frogboy has clearly stated in post #139: [quote]I also know that Gamestop asked to sell the game early and we said no and in response they cut their order by 2/3'rds.[/quote] But, I know, I am from France and I could sometimes misunderstand what is posted and to which part of a big quote you were responding.

[quote]How do you know that post is even credible? It might be anyone trying to clean the stardock part of the mess. [/quote] Are you aware you are speaking about Frogboy, the CEO of Stardock?

BTW, have you read posts #120, #139 and #134 from frogboy (who is the CEO of Stardock) in that thread. It looks like at one level, Gamestop knew that the street date was 4/14 but somehow that information didn't make in their information system. [quote]they are partners and we are CUSTOMERS.[/quote] Well, Frogboy stated that [quote]But I can assure you we did everything humanly possible with our partners at Take 2 (who's distributing it) to ensure that the all sellers of the ga

If you want the DVD, you will have to pay some Shipping and handling costs. And possible VAT.

[quote]Mr. Banfield, as a customer, honnestly I do not care about the whos, the whats, etc. I just see that in the end, the game I pre-ordered (both to play early AND support you on this fantastic game) via Digital download is already available elsewhere. I feel screwed up and cheated. As I said, this was my 1st, and will be my only, pre-order from you. [/quote] So even if Gamestop is screwing things, you think it is normal to blame Stardock. BTW, when did you

[quote]I get the Collector's Edition of the game today [/quote] Where did you get it? Have you a serial Id?

[quote]Ok.....Sorry If I'm being a bit thick here, so what your saying is if I create an account using the billed email address for the account, then I should be clear to download it with the new account? Thanks.[/quote] Or perharps you could change the e-mail for the current account ...

[quote]http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/Home.aspx[/quote] But it still requires Impulse (without IE7) for installing the downloaded file.

[quote]However on the SOSE and Elemental forum home pages you get the following: General PC Gaming Personal Computing[/quote] Not quite. If you look here https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/forum/412 you will see that there are 8 sub category in the off topic section of SoaSE

[quote]Heaven knows I've paid plenty for S&H with physical products[/quote] Why shouldn't be an equivalent for digital download of used games?

[quote]I've bought my share of used physical products where some repair/assembly was required[/quote] Who did pay for repair and assembly in those case?

[quote]The Elmental Dev Journals seems to have appeared in the off-topic forum of demigod. I assume this is a bug[/quote] Why is this a bug? Isn't Elemental an off-topic subject for Demigod?

[quote]100% Agree. It boggles the mind that the gaming industry thinks it should be entitled a cut of the secondary market when almost no other market has its hand in those transactions either.[/quote] But in those cases, you get directly the good. With digital distribution, you need to be able the game whose serial id you have got. And as digital distribution is involved, somebody has to pay for support (in case of problem to install or start the game) and bandwith for

[quote]By that logic there are no non-public betas.[/quote] Well, for GC2: Dreadlords, there were private gammas the month before the retail launch.
