VERY DISAPPOINTED - MODS DO NOT WORK!!!
352110
I bought this game primarily for the cool mods figuering it would be like multiple games with all these cool mods like star wars, star trek, battlestar galactica, ect. It literally was the deciding factor I buy it then find out each works only with a specific version of the game like version 1.05 the game installed without updates is 1.181. Then there are other versions with expansion packs like entrenchment and diplomacy and many mods only work with an entrenchment expanded game.

My final criticism is this they make a story to but did not even bother to design a campaign you choose what missions you do and thats it!! Now I like the option of choosing but I expect campaigns with some narrative and cinematics as well.

Considering what I got buying Sins of Solar empire I will definately NOT be buying any expansions and cross my fingers hoping the MODS work when they probably WONT!

Supposedly, if you had a shiny new gaming computer, they would put updates on the ubisoft website to make the game work.  Well, I have computers spanning almost all OS verstions, every one set up for gaming, too.  The "patch" for my current system doesn't really allow you to do much, since you can't actually get to any commands.  The rendering is crude and a far cry from all the gorgeous Myst games we have played before.  I *highly* recommend you make absolutely sure you have one of the original video cards recommended, and not one for which they offer a patch, which may or may not work.

First the Sims 3 DLC fest rip-off... Then Command and Conquer 4 and now THIS!?!?!? (among MANY MANY MANY other ruined game series as of late)

I would love to review this game properly IF IT WORKED OR WAS ANY GOOD!!

How's that whole Anti-piracy thing working for you guys? I think most here cannot wait till someone finds a way to crack or hack this game so they can play their LEGALLY OWNED COPIES IF THEY HAVEN'T RETURNED THEM ON FIRE YET!!!!

So I must put this simply... I will NEVER PRE-ORDER, or most likely, BUY ANOTHER EA GAME AGAIN!! There was a bigger line at Gamestop to return this for 2 days AFTER its release than the line to buy it on its day of release.

Bottom Line:

EA can suck my big, long, veiny, throbbing

... Please Wait ...

Save your money!!!

I used the evaluation version of System Mechanic version 6 for 29 days and thought it was great enough that I paid for and upgraded to System Mechanic Professional version on the subscription option for $69.95.

I download the installer and ran it at 7:30 am on Sunday morning.  None of the modules, I repeat NONE worked.  I uninstalled.  Cleaned out my registery and directories of all traces of this and the previous version and reinstalled, several time to the point that I gave up at 8pm the sam night.  I search the online support and found no help.  I wrote an email and as of today (Wednesday) have not yet received a reply.  Their phone is constantly busy but I did get through last night at 7pm eastern time (they close at 8pm eastern/5pm pacific) and was transferred to tech support.  For the next hour I listened to the message: "All of our support specialist are busy.  Please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order in which it was received" until 8pm when the recording switched over to: "Thank you for calling Iolo.  Our business hours are from 9am to 5pm pacific time.  Please call back during these hours."

I'm extremely upset.  I'm not a noob and have been using computers since the 386 days.

As soon as my American Express bill cycles, I will call and have the charge removed.

Version 6 was great, version 7 tanks.

Save your money.  Spend it with a company who responds to their customers.

Okay controller. I used this a lot for 1month. Suddenly the mods went on a fritz. So I decided to get a torx 8 security and take it apart. I looked and the mod wire was ripped. I didn't send it back cuz after that I customized it. Also I found the mods need to "cool" before use again. About 1 hour

I just wanted to cast my vote for avoiding Ubisoft and Myst Revelations.  I was looking forward to a pc game that didn't involve shooting everything that moves.  I read the specs, bought a DVD player for my computer (I'd wanted to do that, anyway, so it's not a total waste), and tried to install Revelations.  It won't install, won't give an explanation, and the "support" at ubisoft is worse than useless. It was a waste of money, and I doubt that I can return the game now that it is open.

This game is a HUGE waste of time! Doesnt work right, never has. Controllers or buzzers look cool, if only you could get to use them. Setup takes FOREVER...and still doesnt work. 4 AA and 6 AAA batteries? I'll just play the version on PS3, really wish this game worked...

I agree with "A gamer" from Tempe, Arizona. This expansion pack totally messed up The Sims on my computer. It either wouldn't run at all, or it would shut down once I got into it. I spent 30 or 40 dollars on it, so it was pretty much a waste of money. I'm sure it would've been fun if it had worked, and it seems like it worked for most of the reviewers. However, other friends of mine who got this expansion pack said it didn't work for them, either. And for some reason, the other expansion packs do.

Installation will not work and I can't get any help from the city tech website. I have to depend on a relative who has one to get the thing to work. I am very disappointed in the help response which I have not received!

I, like you folks, did research and looked for a video editor that's compatible with Windows 7, has features and is a step up from the basics offered with Windows Movie Maker.

I narrowed it down to Sony Vegas and Corel Video Studio.  I bought both. When Corel VideoStudio arrived, I got the quick install book out, followed the instructions and a short video on how to install. It installed and I thought, "wow! here we go."

Well that all came to an abrupt halt when Corel's VideoStudio Crashed!  I got a pop up windows telling me to contact Corel and show them the "dump" file.

I went to Corel's website, registered to access forums and help, did a fix and voila, CRASH!  It all happened when I imported, using their recommendations, a single video.  I opted to import a different video, right--all you have to do is click this and "drag and drop" to the time line. Well, I did that and, voila! It crashed again!

I edited a file that Corel recommended and put off as a "Windows" issue (Corel Box clearly states, "Windows 7 Compatible").  After the file correction from Corel, I imported the file and "drug" it to the timeline. For few seconds it worked and then, CRASH! I got that same pop up window and CRASH!

So, I have a leading software video editor that kept crashing and had to install a repair and go to a forum and log a repair request.  Just a note,

I got this software via USPS this afternoon and installed it an hour later.

I am disappointed with the software. I don't want to hear about work arounds and "Window" issues. What it comes down to is I bought a software product that crashed after install.

End users should not have to find work arounds and make calls, emails and other efforts just to get it to do what the maker says it will do from the outset.

Completely disappointed with the software...as I did not get it to work, I did not get to use the "feature rich" applications in it.

I never got this product to work in either of these environments. After many e-mail's back and forth to thier support people(they were always responsive), I finally gave up this weekend. At first they suggested a fix from the Microsoft website, when that did not work I installed a fix from the SAS website. I installed that fix over the Christmas weekend and it did not work either. I was receiving messages similar to "not authorized to file xxxxx" and "v6 engine not installed". Since my employer uses this software I was really hoping I could get it to work, but no luck. I hope they get these problems fixed, because this product in my production environment is very useful.

Could not get game to even start, it won't load, it is defective; there are multiple comments on the web about this game not working, and is not working for me.  How do I get my money back?
