Default Re: Problem with CD Drive Letters: CONFIRMED!

I did try that, but when I got to that second screen, nothing showed up that would let me change the drive letter. So I'm giving up until the patch is released. Got an e-mail from the tech support people, and they said that Aaron is aware of the problem and that a patch should be on its way soon. Hopefully it won't be too long

You guys are too quick, you beat me to the fix! Yes the dumb CD checker is only checking drive letters up to J:. The simple fix is to remap your drive to a lower letter. This will be fixed for all drive letters in the official patch coming later this week.

Yippee!! Can't wait for that patch to come out. It's bad enough to have to wait months for the game to finally come out to discover that I couldn't play the game as is. Thanks Aaron.

Default Re: Problem with CD Drive Letters: CONFIRMED!

My bad. I was looking at the below screen wrong. I was finally able to find the screen to change the drive letter. I"m still leary about changing it, however, so I'll wait for the patch to come out. I was able to d/l the demo, but after starting the play button, all I got was a black screen and apparantly my computer got locked up. I know someone mentioned it in another thread, but how do I change that from happening again?

What worked for me is alt-tabbing out, then back in. Or setting my resolution to the same as SF was using.

I had to set my resolution to 1078, and then the demo worked fine.
