They did it for Crysis Warhead and I'm pretty sure that did fucking awesome on Steam, seeing as it reigned supreme on bestsellers for a few weeks. You'd think EA would see some connection between the two...Big-E said:

I think EA is still clinging to the notion one day they can get their own direct download service up to snuff, so they hold off putting their catalog on steam. Hopefully though at this point its just a matter of time before they cave and go all out on steam.

the official EA policy seems to be either contact customer support with a picture of you fucked up cd key or just keep guessing that last digit until you find the right one. of course, after three guesses the game closes and you have to retype the entire key again.
it gets better, it looks like EA also messed up another thing. some of these valid keys aren't registered with the EA servers, so you can't go online even if you did guess the right digit or got lucky enough to get a complete number.

Wow how retarded of them to fuck this all up. Seems lots of stuff isnt going right from different stores having it different days to the CD key issues.
I was able to find a CE at a best buy. Got it for 20 bucks too, I found a gift card in my car I had lost that had 50 bucks on it.

Dare I ask for some impressions of the soundtrack? I'm considering switching my order if it isn't too late.

That can't be real. I played the beta with no problem (Vista x64)...captive said:

It constantly suprises me how few games support 64-bit, when a relatively large chunk of their audience are likely to be tech junkies who want more than the 3.5 or whatever gigs of RAM 32-bit Vista uses. Glad my PC sucks!captive said:
I haven't had a problem yet playing PC games on 64-bit, hell I had the RA3 beta and that worked fine. If it doesn't really work then they really dropped the ball hardMaritalWheat said:It constantly suprises me how few games support 64-bit, when a relatively large chunk of their audience are likely to be tech junkies who want more than the 3.5 or whatever gigs of RAM 32-bit Vista uses.

So we have no local network co-op (for NO FUCKING REASON), and no support for 64-bit Windows (for NO FUCKING REASON).
What do EA think they are playing at?
More importantly, does it say that 64-bit is not supported on the box? If not, surely the purchasers qualify for a full refund, for deceptive specs?
So many publishers are doing this at the moment, snatching disaster from the jaws of success. Bioshock's FOV problems, Half-Life 2's initial Steam problems, Spore's DRMShite. It cannot be that hard to release a damned game!

The allies cover is new to me...
The allies one is on the reverse of the normal boxart, so you can pick which one you want to have as your boxart

I haven't experienced any problems with the game so far but I think that every C&C game had problems at launch. The original C&C had some kind of soundcard error and random crashes, the movies in RA1 often wouldn't load, Tiberian Sun ran like shit on every system and the netcode was horrible and RA2's balance was all fucked up when they lauched it.

weird like someone else I was in beta and it ran totally fine on vista 64 for me, hope they get that fixed.
Actually I have not had ANY problems with any drivers or games running Vista 64 bit on my laptop and my desktop. This is the first problem I have had.Draft said:
My mom is also running Vista 64, no problems there either and she runs some rare specialty software.
The only problems I have had were with Nero and Symantec Antivirues, which were both old old installs. So I went and got the new ones and they worked fine.
bee said:
Yes, but can anyone with the final confirm it works smoothly with 64? B/c we seem to have contradictory evidence here. Ah well, my fucking computer crashed yesterday so I have a nice reformat to deal with first and hopefully this gets sorted out by then.
well back on the subject of the game:
this is my first RTS. I went through the tutorial and while its not difficult to play it gave me the impression that this was going to be a lot of work and I worried I would forget how do simple tasks when playing the campaign. Fortunately, once you start going everything just flows!
My point: game appears to be RTS noob friendly.

You know, going by the users on this forum, I've been lead to believe Vista 64-bit SP1 runs 99.9999% of all games 32-bit XP SP3 does.
Like every last one.
And that there are absolutely 0 driver problems since SP1. Something's funny. Either way, it will be Vista 64 or Windows 7 + XP for me next time around.
