Arrrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!! Broke my SEIV Disc

LonghornXtreme · #1 December 16th, 2004, 04:02 AM

I'm sooo angry right now...

I'm in the process of moving right now.. (just graduated and got my Biology degree... yippee!) And my disc didn't survive the box. Something shifted and snapped the jewel case I'd put the game in for the move. Its terribly frustrating because now that I've graduated I was planning on getting into some fun PBW games. (In no way am I asking for an image/copy...)

I'm currently torn between ordering up another disc or waiting till SEV and save my budding relationship with my gf who's got definite potential to be 'the' one. I wonder if any of ya'll have had to make that decision in the past.

The one time I didn't Alcohol120% a game and it gets destroyed.

Oh well... just thought I'd rant a little.

Again. I am in NO way asking for a copy of the game. I support MM and Shrapnel completely.

Sad sad sad,
James

Just the idea of breaking the disk made me check my disk (Which is the 1 CD I must always know the location of)

I feel the pain...I had to format my HD and I can not find my SEIV disk

...dang I miss it

If you still have a copy of SE4 on a HD somewhere make a backup of that, you shouldn't have to reinstall the game off of a CD unless you really screwed up some of the stock data files.

I never use an original copy, the first thing I do when I get a game is make an image, the disc then gets stored in a CD wallet, which goes only open every 6 months or so (I dont really buy many games, because i'm a rather poor college student)

I don't know if Shrapnel will replace the CD for free minus S&H if you send them the fragments, you could try. I would probably expect it, if say, my Diablo disk suddenly stopped working, and I know a guy who lost his, but had the CD Key handy. YMMV.

I suppose, if it happened to me, I wouldn't rush right out and buy another copy of SE4, even addicted as I am. I'd keep checking the Shrapnel web page, and see if the price was coming down, or just get SE5.

I'd save the fragments of the CD, maybe there's going to be some sort of rebate like there was for SE4 Gold.

Very good to support MM, but I think you are the one and only person on this planet with an legal and good reason to download an copy of the game

you bought it once, why buy it again...............
