Frustration is imminent (D2D -> GameFly) Ode for idiocy

I had bought two games from Direct2Drive, Shogun 2 and DCS: Black Shark. Now, for no obvious reason I can't download Black Shark.

These are the instructions I'm given on the site:

Quote:

Download Your Games
1. Click the button below to launch the GameFly Client.

2. Navigate to the game page for the title you've purchased or want to download.

3. Click the "Download Now" button on the game page.

First of all, I had to download some idiotic steam rip-off program to download the game. Then I tried to find the game's page on the client BUT... there is no page for Black Shark! Therefore I can't download it.

Great success!

Anyone else had problems with this new horrendous system?

You can download the full Black Shark installation from the main DCS site. If you still have the serial it should work just fine.

I have access to one of the 12 games or so I have bought from D2D over the years. They say it will take some weeks to get it sorted out, they should have cleared that up before they launched this PITA client!
