Tried it half a dozen times, even with different browsers, it just fails the authentication, grrr!

The question is why are my credentials accepted when I use PayPal's front page but not on this page?

Yeah, I found that out too. Hmph, I would much rather individual Desura keys for each game...

When I did it, it took me three tries before I realized the password they want isn't the PayPal password but your IndieRoyale/Desura password.

I'd like to wholeheartedly thank fellow GOGers madth3 AND genkicolleen for both purchasing the IR Mystery Bundle for me, and foxworks for also stepping in to help - you guys rock!!

Not sure I follow - you were asked for you IndieRoyale/Desura password on PayPal's payment page? That makes absolutely no sense, unless your IR/ Desura email and password are the same as your PayPal ones.

No, on the IndieRoyale page; I've bought from them before, so they had the name of my PayPal account stored, but asked for a "login password" directly beneath it.

Since you don't respond* to my questions, I might as well inform you that and [url=http://www.desura.com/games/your-world]your-world are now free on desura (the later was free for a while before to, the first shows no price at all) and you have about 50 minutes remaining to the sale...

* Well those aren't related, you can still respond :)

Thanks for the heads-up. Added Terrance to my Desura collection.

well as I said terrace is listed as free anyway, so I'm not sure if you got your value... but I added it too anyway, I like fish :P

Not to muddy the waters, but IndieRoyale didn't accept my old password for their site. I had to request a reset from them to change it. Maybe this caused other problems as well?


Hurm. Are you sending it to yourself as a gift on a future date? Then yes, it might be the weird chain of events you describe. But if you send it to someone else, it should be all the games. Unless the delivery date is before the end of the offer, in which case it will probably be whatever games are available, with the rest being revealed later.

In other words it should work just like a normal purchase, only with the key to activate the purchase being sent at whatever date, instead of immediately.

I've never linked my IR bundles to my Desura account, so can't say if my problem has anything to do with yours.
It could be that their site revamp introduced different side-effects to different folks.


Well, I've bought several IR bunldes in the past, but never while logged in to my Desura account, so thankfully no info stored for me.

Nothing to do with Desura. It was my IR password that was no longer valid. I didn't notice until after I purchases the bundle, but fortunately when I reset the password the bundle was on my account. I'm just wondering if with their site update they changed some other things, and this kind of password disconnect may have caused your problems too.

Oh, so you have a different account on IR than on Desura? But redeem your Desura key from the bundles to your Desura account?

I'm baffled about my issue, mostly because everyone else had no problem. The issue Sachys mentioned earlier is not new - PayPal often does this, I suspect to push for accounts, of course every time I inquired about it, they claim it's an issue on the seller's side.

Yes. My IR account is just for logging into IR and managing purchases and downloads from there. I use the Desura redemption link they provide to load the games into my Desura account, which is distinct.


Maybe a bug in the PayPal server farm in your part of the world? Is it just when checking out from specific sites, or do you get it under a lot of different circumstances?

DailyIndieGame has

Railyard: Match-3 Evolved (Desura, Greenlight / Win, Mac, Linux)
$0.99 for one key, BTA ($1.27 right now) for two keys

DIG Rebundle 1.
$0.99 for:

- 500 Years Act 1 (Desura, Greenlight / Win)
- Onager (Desura / Win, Mac, Linux)
- Project Night (Desura, Greenlight / Win, Mac, Linux)
- Wisps: The Redeeming (Desura / Win, Mac)
- Hacker Evolution (Steam / Win, Mac, Linux)
- Power-Up (Steam / Win)

Not sure if you know this, but if you log in to IR with your Desura credentials, every bundle you've redeemed on Desura will appear in your collection under that account.

I always purchase IR bundles as gifts under a different email from my Desura one, so that my purchases and my Desura account aren't linked. And I access the pages for the direct downloads logged out.


I've stumbled upon this issue a few times when purchasing bundles - a couple of times with BIaB bundles, once with a Groupees bundle and a couple with HIBs. I don't know what causes the issue because if I use a different browser or try on a different time/ day, I get all available options, including paying with a card without a PayPal account. IIRC, a GOGer from Finland has experienced it too.
