tinyE: Trying some of my older back log and getting my ass kicked by the O.R.B. tutorial. XD WTF!?

AgentBirdnest: Geez.. I'm getting my ass kicked by the manual...
I used to love reading manuals, but I don't have the patience for them anymore :-\
Skip the manual, at least for ORB.
You'll need it for Haegemonia.

I watched a bit of the Alliance Twitch feed yesterday. The guy playing that was getting destoryed early and often as well. It was painful - must not have been a flight sim guy.

I dug up my copy of Alliance when it released this week and got it tweaked up and running; even after all these years I was pounding TIE Fighters into scrap by the dozens!
Good day, everyone. Hope your day on GOG's better than mine.

moonshineshadow: Good morning everyone :-) Hope you are all fine today *hug for everyone that wants*
I'm actually pretty po'd with GOG, details here.

That certainly took away any dilemmas i had about getting Personal Nightmare from the weekend promo - I have absolutely no desire to reward GOG for the issues I'm facing with the site and my account.

tinyE: Yeah, in March.

Outside of me looking like a fool? Yes, I love college b-ball. (Carolina girl, here).

Now that I look like an idiot? Still wrestling with a chip with 6 weeks worth of work on it...

Crow needs to choose better, smarter friends:)

Oh wow... that sucks. Seems like you got the worst version of the "not logged in" bug... I can understand that you do not want to buy anything from them at the moment. i really hope they can fix this fast *hug*

To expand on your computer question: IF what you are referring to is a Solid State disk Drive then yes, there may be data there. You would need to remove the drive, mount it in another machine and copy the data from it.
To be honest if your not familiar with computers you be better off finding someone to help you with it. I'll bet any number of your students could do it for you, unless the data is sensitive. Then I would go to a good computer service place.

Edit: From your last post it sounds like you are computer savvy. Just mount it in a desktop machine with SATA and copy the data, you will need an adapter to match the desktop SATA connector. OR you could buy an external SATA to USB case and then you have your data and be able to use the drive as extra storage too.
I've tried that... the ssd (at least that;s what I think it is) is sitting on an itty bitty motherboard gently connected to the main motherboard. I can't unscrew it, I can't gently lift it off, and it holds the SATA connection for the drive I can lift off and out into another computer. 6 weeks of work is on that damn drive (and I hate myself for not Dropboxing that shit).

I've tried using an external monitor, I've tried a damn serial cable. I've tried channeling cats (one was on my lap while I was writing)...

Argh!

I bumped my support ticket yesterday, but I'm not sure if anyone's going to bother - everything seems to evolve around the sales of the Star Wars games, more of which are coming on Jan 27. And I can't PM Firek to draw their attention to my problems.

Ironically, checkout seems to work again, at least on Pale Moon, but on he one hand I'm too po'd and on the other hand I absolutely don't trust GOG to enter my personal details.

That sucks. Would you like me to PM Firek or another of the blues on your behalf?

I have no idea what the problem could be, especially as it seems to be some what localised (you seem to be the only one suffering so badly from the errors). I haven't even got the sign up / log in bug...

But as I'm not likely to need any of the functions you are lacking (I have no money to buy new games and the games I already have are already downloaded) I might have a play around and see if I can cause it..

Her's a pic with an SSD on the left and a conventional HDD on the right. Which do you have?
Give me the model and brand of the laptop, that will help a LOT. ;)

I'm actually not the only one that can't download their games - if you read my EDIT3 in the post I linked to, you'll see that at least two other people are having the same problem (links to their posts included).

It would be great if you could PM Firek on my behalf; please link him to this post of mine, and tell him that my open support ticket regarding this mess is #IOUDAZXA.


Also, could someone send me a PM to test if receiving messages work?
Hello everybody, just made it through a crazy day at work and am home safe and sound. ;)
New meds and all. :-)
