That error has been there for over a month now. Maybe after Christmas?

Because I bought it. I think we are going in circles here. Look, companies are not legislators. They can write their various EULAs and stuff, but Contract Law and Consumer Rights still trumph those. Companies would like you to believe in their smoke and mirrors tricks, but you really shouldn't.

Just curious, but what makes you think that the Terms of Use have any legal standing?

Yes, you are soo funny...

Because I bought it, perhaps? You know, like in offer, acceptance, and payment. Little things like that.

Absolutely not. We are discussing modification of a program we own. Nothing illegal about it. Against the wishes of WotC, certainly, but not against any law.

Completely off-topic, but just to set the record straight: First released version of Windows NT was 3.1, since the version of regular 16-bit Windows at the time was also 3.1 (hey, same thing, just new and shiny!) After that came Windows NT 3.5, quickly patched to Windows NT 3.51 (what...

I had some time to waste at work today, so I experimented a bit with this. The problem with power selection is 100% related to the decimal separator (we use comma in Sweden). I tried all four variations: US english default settings: works US english settings but with comma as decimal separator...

I've deleted all cookies from *.wizards.com. Didn't help. Do I want to wipe every cookie in my system hoping that will help? No. Suggestion 1A from every help desk regarding web applications is always to delete all cookies and temporary files. That really annoys me. If a cookie file contains...

I wish I could. But I can't access the CB at all any longer. vecna.wizards.com gives me the "LOG IN!!!" message and the regular link gives me the "Your session has timed out" message. Customer support told me to try using another browser or another computer. :hmm: When (if?) I can access CB...

That feature isn't present in the new CB, but could be added. That feature wasn't present in the old CB, but could have been added. I really don't see the difference. There is no more potential in the new CB than in the old. Only a lot of development effort wasted in re-implementing the same...

Yes it is. I don't know how much experience of launching software you have, but the extent of the problems at launch were extraordinary. Not something you see often in commercial launches. It implies high levels of incompetence in either development or management or both. "Moral"?? How is right...

Neither am I. [Post redacted by admin; crossed over with warning.] I am merely pointing out that as software launches go, this is a failure. Nothing hyperbolic about that.

Let's see here. The launch of CB2 was a disaster as software launches go. From experience it would seem that WotC can't do anything right in the digital arena. And, personally, I have no faith in the company to improve. I don't seem to have any spit in my face at the moment, but WotC have...

I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Why do you assume that I don't know end users? I've been a consultant in this business for over three decades. As a developer, lead developer, project leader, systems analyst, system architect, and other roles I've forgotten about. In...

I've been a professional software developer for over 32 years now. I regularly lecture about software development processes and software testing. There is no way the thing launched on Tuesday would have gotten a "go" at any sane go-live meeting. Pushing garbage like that live tells me that WotC...

1st attempt (last night) - crash, crash, hang. Gave up. Reported a bug and got back a totally inane response from WotC support. 2nd attempt (tonight) - really slow, but no crash. Tried to import my current character (hybrid feylock/swordmage), no luck. Tried to recreate it, found numerous bugs...

It doesn't need RAM for that. It only needs space in the swapfile. You'll need to manually increase the size of the swapfile. With only 512MB of RAM to cache that, it will thrash the hard drive like mad, but you should be able to get your PDF eventually.

I'm giving up - this thing doesn't work at all. Whatever I try, I get either "session timed out" or the whole thing just freezes up. What a load of rubbish!

I assume he meant by pre-launch testing, not through augury. But I doubt they did any testing on this junk.
