I know I should wait until our fabulous Mod has posted a new game post, but after a spate of time management games BFG have got this Collectors Edition and I got a little excited, but it won't download. I am confident BFG will get a fix if it is required, I just want confirmation that it isn't just me.

Mine has downloaded and played smoothly (Vista). Initially, after playing 40 minutes, I'm impressed. You need to move through multiple scenes (very atmospheric) in order to find pieces of objects, solve rather easy puzzles, and get into the castle to, presumably, awaken the Sleeping Beauty. The Strategy Guide does show inthe demo, although I'll likely wait for the full version next month rather than dropping 3 credits on it.

cris53 It is not just you. Won't download for me either...not on my PC or on my laptop. If you go to BF forums you will see that it is not only us but quite a few folks have been unable to download. I have never had an issue before, EVER. I have been looking forward to this one as I demo'd it so I bought it sight unseen.....and now I can't play. But I have to go to work anyway so I wouldn't be able to play until this afternoon and hopefully by then it will be fixed. I believe it's the game because I tried to download Potion Bar and that downloaded just fine....although I can't explain why there have been a few who have been able to download it. Lucky I guess. Anyway, I'm not too concerned.

Barbara.

I have downloaded this game and find it is very sluggish....runs quite slow. I am able to play the game regardless of the speed. I suspect it may be straining my system. I am on XP or I may need to update directx. Will go try some things before I pass judgement. There is a skip feature, the penalty for that is 5 miniute delay in the hint recharging. The game offers many nice features.

I've even tried sneaking up on it and pressing the download button when it least expects it. It's knows I'm there!!! Patience isn't one of my virtues.

I downloaded and installed the game right after it was released and I had no problems with the download whatsoever, so this is a strange problem that is affecting some folks and not others.

Did the try it version and that worked fine. Anyone read any of the briar rose novels? Just curious if they are good.

Downloaded and finished the demo, didn't have any problem. Interesting game, story, liked the mini games, not too difficult but entertaining. The only downside for me is looking for the parts of the objects, not my favorite type of HOG.

Someone with the downloading problem on the Big Fish forums just posted that it is now working for her. Try the download again now, and fingers crossed it works for you!

OMG! It's downloading. I think BFG have come to the rescue. I'd just taken Cards of Destiny out of it's cellophane and was ready to rock! Don't know what to do now... I hate not having a new game waiting for me. P.S. Thanks Marian

I played the hour demo, but now I can't buy the game. When I click on the purchase link it takes me back to the screen telling me that my demo time is up. Hey cris53, I just received my Cards of Destiny game today, and my Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island arrived last week, but I can't really get into playing it, so I guess I'll be opening up Cards of Destiny.I'm like you--can't stand to be "gameless".

Doreen

Finally got to buy the game. The servers must have been busy
