Chernobyl Commando Windows game

No mod for this game?

I am unable to play the game, the game starts as I see the icon in my task bar but the game is not visible. Checking running processes CC.exe is there but the status is "Not responding".

I am running Windows 8 Enterprise x64 with a 3 monitor setup, DVI, USB to DVI and mini port to DVI via an AMD HD 6800.

Any help would be appreciated, if you need more information let me know, thanks.

Silden,

I'm not a fan of DRM.

Q: Does the Desura version of Chernobyl Commando contain DRM, if so which kind and version number?

If it does what is the time frame to patch it out?

Oh, Are regular patches going to be posted here on Desura, or does the game auto-upate?

PS: If the game does auto-update - is there going to be a way to toggle that OFF, and or have a option to ROLL-BACK if the update breaks something?

As mentioned prior STEAM pushed a update which broke alot of mods and there was no way to "Roll-Back" to a prior working state.

Part 2 of 2

5 STEAM = IIRC back in May-2010 they made changes in the Source engine which broke alot of mods. I realize updates are needed -and for online players you need to have everyone running the same version - but for SINGLEPLAYER off-line games they need to put coding in that:

A: Give the CUSTOMER the OPTION of reverting to a prior working install, along with the game engine /Steam being coded to have a POP-UP appear after a game has become "problematic" after a pushed "update".

Customer should be given the option to revert back to a prior working installation.

EG: For Off-line games they could use the the old, or the new (problematic) engine.

6 GameFly - Put in (1) tech ticket on a payment issue and never heard back from them.

As you can imagine having games scattered across various vendors is a PAIN.

Ended up going with Desura for the following reasons:

1: IIRC the man behind Moddb is behind Desura. Talked with him personally a while back and he was responsive. Like the concept the installation and maintenance? of mods being in one place (I have not used this feature- all the Mods I got off Moddb where old-school installed =Manually.
(Old school, like the manual copy process, but if I'm correct in what I read about Desura here and there having the auto update function has positives.
2: I saw your responses here on Desura, having a developer who personally responds to issues is a definite selling point.

(When I see mfg's on Newegg.com responding to issues on bad hardware - I tend to by from that MFG than one who does not respond.)

Silden,

Bought the game, in process of downloading it now. (First purchase thru Desura)

Was debating the purchase thru Desura for the following reasons vs GreenManGaming - not really wanting to add another place I'd have my game purchases thru:

1: Amazon = (Great company- They stand behind the stuff they sell - Have a problem and the "attitude" is,.. there is NO attitude. They say so sorry, do you want to get it replaced, or do you want your money back?... with them issuing a pre-paid RMA shipping label to return Defective merchandise )

2: GamersGate= ( Weak bulletin board, Gamersgate seems to run out of "Keys" alot- and does not post a "Hey, we ran out of keys response on xzy game and we expect to obtain keys by xyz date.

3: GreenManGaming = They use a downloader which I think is based off the Amazon downloader called "Capsule (which is fine) it works.
Have several concerns with GreenManGaming:
A: They do NOT state what DRM xyz uses (On games that use the Capsule downloader /interface) The way info about Capsule is worded it leaves you to believe that the only "DRM" is the Capsule app. (It was only after about 5-6 tech tickets, that I finally got a answer about a ancient game called Deus Ex GOTY edition if it had DRM embedded in it. EG: It does- and this is NOT disclosed prior to purchase.

4: Origin - Had to call them to merge two accounts, got the problem resolved in (1) phone call. Got disconnected towards the end of the calll and received a call back.

.

Is the boxart the international version? The Polish one looks better in my opinion.

My Wont Start When Launching

Nice game :)
