So...If anybody from shrapnel drops by and reads this thread, if he sends you the fragments, think you could send him a cd?

Good point. And if I total my car I get to go take another from the lot right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

If your car were made of information rather than matter, I'd say yes.

Re: Arrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! Broke my SEIV Disc
 

This is why I recommend buying a back up copy of any game you like. You never know when it will not longer be available to buy. (BOTF for example)

Any ways, I would email shrapnel and see if you could work out something with them. Perhaps do as one of the other suggested.

As for love over game, no one loves being alone, even if they have this wonderful game to play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Did you order it thru Shrapnel? (GamersFront.com?)
If so then you might try contacting customer support

Re: Arrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! Broke my SEIV Disc
 

And if that information were in the public domain, I'd agree as well.

Hmmm...see I never made backups of data on CD's. Back in the floppy days, sure, it was almost a necessity to make backups. But I always figured the CD would be indestructable (Boy, are those ever famous Last words -- I should get started on backups right now)

But just about every program I've had, I ordered the upgrade to in about a year, so I'd have tons of burnt CD's around. Add to that the many programs I paid for that never came on disk. I downloaded them and recieved the key to activate.

Maybe we should get into the habit of realizing we paid for the CD key, and not the pLastic disk. 'Cept that doesn't really apply to SE4.

yea play it off the hard drive

and back up that space empires directory onto a disc.

then back up another one.

you should be fine.

i have not used my disc since the Last upgrade.

Re: Arrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! Broke my SEIV Disc
 

I would still buy another copy of SEIV Gold just to be on the safe side. Hell we all should.

Re: Arrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! Broke my SEIV Disc
 

Hi I have two questions after reading this thread.

How do you make a back up of the Gold CD?
Do you need the CD in the drive to play?
