<description><![CDATA[I posted comment #11.  Your replied, "There is only a very small percentage of community members getting issues with this game, which would indicate a problem with the members computer and not the game. Maybe you have a program running in the background that interferes with the running of the game. Try turning off each background program to see if that fixes the issue. Better still, download the free Game booster that will turn off all unnecessary programs running in the background. It’s easy to use and can be switched back to normal running once you’ve finished playing the game.

Reading previous comments from the last three times this was given away, only a few people had this problem, one called Star-X said the following:

    “*Note* Game doesn’t like certain anti-viruses and will freeze in fullscreen. Disable your anti-virus when running this game”.

Comment by Star-X

Star-X went on to say in another post that it may be his memory optimization program and a few other users found that turning off firefox worked."
----------------------------------------

Since this reply several others complained that it wouldn't work.  I did get it to work when I changed my screen resolution from 1680 x 1050 to 1024 x 768.  I use Game Booster Pro, I have 6GB of RAM and a 3.16GHz dual core processor.  I tried closing browsers, my ram was at 40%.  The only solution was changing the screen resolution.  Most games written for older screen resolutions temporarily adjusts the computers automatically.  This one doesn't.

I have been playing the Dark Spore beta with Firefox and Opera open at the same time.  I also play many PC games that requires high ram and processor speeds.  My drivers, graphics cards are all brand new and up-to-date.  

The game definitively has some issues that are not the fault of our computers.  It sounds like some with the same OS as mine can play it but some obviously have the same problem.  It also seems like it works more for people w/ XP.  Every game I have downloaded here (which is almost all of them in the last 8 to 10 months) works fine.  There are some issues that the developer needs to work on.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This offer didn't arrive in my in-box until the morning of the 20th...  surprised to see it was actually for the 19th...  Any chance you will offer this again?


...........................Moderator Comment..........................

Considering there has been so many posts  after the giveaway has finished complaining of the late Email, the giveaway owners may consider giving it away again, though on average   the game was downloaded   by   a large number of community members (10769 downloads), so the number who have posted complaining that the notification came late  is  very insignificant.  (thats 0.149%  or put it another way, for every  person  complaining that  they got their email late 673 community members  got to download the game).   Still, you never know.  :-)


The following is just conjecture, but it could be that  your email provider  was  at fault and not the giveaway team.  There seens no reason for   them sending out email notifications after the event has closed???? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[i have been a long time member and emails have never been delayed 24 hours before! perhaps you should see about re-posting the game in the near future for those of us who missed it.

Also, since games are no longer posted every weekend (or every day) any longer, it is hard to predict when to check the site. after many frustrating weekends of checking with no game, i grew to rely on the email alerts.

and my "inaappropriate" language earlier - which was only initials - was "PG" at worst.



.......................Moderator comment.......................

You may think its PG at worst, but some community members do not.  I have to moderate for everyone. There have been complaints in the past when using such language, so i err on the side of caution.  I personally have no problem seeing such initials, but I don't use them myself because I think it's unnecessary to use expletives when the English language is   rich in descriptive words that are much more appropriate to use.   If I caught my 12 year old son using them while he was on the net it would result in an instant ban for a few days.  There was no need for its use and as such was removed.  

I really don't know what happened with respect to the email alert; personally I never use  them as it's  a simple   task to quickly check to see if there’s a game.  I sometimes announce whether there is a game coming up in the forums, but haven’t been getting notification myself over the past few weeks.  (If you’re relatively new to the site I usually get pre notice of   whatever games we are getting so that I can throw together a short review for the community. I started to post a warning in the forums because of the long periods when we get nothing.  I've noticed that after a period of no games the number of downloads and comments are   reduced significantly, even though there’s usually   a notification window present on the giveaway page (usually in the top right corner of the front page)

<description><![CDATA[What a bummer!  My Game-Giveaway-of-the-Day email notice for this software was not delivered into my mailbox until Sat, March 19, 2011 11:30:33 PM.  I was sleeping at the time and had less than a half hour to get the software for free.  I wake this morning to see it finally here... but it's too late.

I've been a member for more than a year and this has NEVER happened before.]]></description>
