I have been playing the game for a few days now, and I must say I like it a lot. I like the way the periscope and TCD are set up, as well as the new crew management etc.
I would like the radar to be more user-friendly, though, and I hope the bugs will be corrected. Nevertheless, my thanks to the developers for a great game, with the following disclaimer, though
.
What
really troubles me is a problem I suppose has something to do with copy protection. Once I insert the DVD, in only works (if at all) after a few (1-15 times) of inserting and re-inserting the DVD to the drive (Samsung SH-S162L lightscribe). Even then, it might take quite a long time until the splash screen appears. I'm writing this after 25min of trying, still the DVD won't work. I have the Collector's edition.
I'v had the same problem with games such as FEAR and Company of Heroes (which both I took back to the retailer). I just like SH4 so much I wouldn't like to do that.
I've had no problems with other games, music CDs or other DVDs. Hence I believe the problem is in the DVD.
My drivers are all up to date, and the game itself (once it works) works fine.
Does anyone have any (legal) solution to this, or at least can anyone suggest a DVD drive that can cope (read) with most of the copy protection? It is pretty frustrating I can't play something I've paid for. Any help from the developers?
It has now been around 35min and still not working..
