1.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Download This!, September 1, 2008
This review is from: Crazy Machines 2 - A New Dimension [Download] (Software Download)
I downloaded this for my son's birthday yesterday and intended to install it on a laptop running Windows XP. When he tried to install the software, it took absolutely forever. Once the installation was done, the game could not be run do to a missing DLL.

After several frustrating reinstalls to no avail, I decided to try it on my own computer running Windows Vista Premium. Initially, I had thought that the problem might have been that my son's laptop was relatively old and just did not have enough memory and disk space to handle the game. However, I experienced the same aggravation when trying to install it on my new computer!

I did some research on the error and apparently, the game will not work due to a problem with a missing file in the OpenAL Library, which is responsible for the game sound. Although I did eventually find a patch for the the OpenAL Library, it was not an easy task. This is a known issue with this game that Amazon failed to mention. I also would have thought that it would have been the responsible thing to do to at least inform the buyer of this issue and provide a link to download the patch necessary to run the game.

Stay away from this one. I wasted $[...]. I work with computers and software on a daily basis which is why I was able to figure out how to work this thing. For someone does not have any computer expertise, this game would be worthless.

Also, read the Amazon disclaimer. They do not offer refunds for software downloads - which is fine by me - as long as they work! For $[...], I would have expected this thing to work without any hitches!

I would have thought that Amazon ensured that the software they offer for download works before they post it for sale online.

Never again. This was an absolute rip-off!

UPDATE:

The OpenAL patch did not work. Though it did get the inital screen to pop-up to a certain point, it still doesn't work. I also tried a patch that requires replacing the cm2.dll and cm2.exe files but that didn't work either. According to some forums, you need the AGEIA PhysX Processor to run this stupid game. There is no way in hell I'm spending $[...] to run an $[...] game. There is another suggested option w/c requires the user to mount an .MDS image in conjunction with Daemon Tools but I don't want to go through any more aggravation and have it not work anyway. I didn't spend $[...] to go through all this crap. If you pay good money for something, you shouldn't have to FORCE it to work!!! This was complete highway robbery!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars IMPORTANT: Win 7 & Downloaded Version, November 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crazy Machines 2 - A New Dimension [Download] (Software Download)
I'm writing this note since I just downloaded the product and couldn't install it either on my Windows 7 system, like others have mentioned. Here's how I got it to work. First, it should be pointed out that he problem isn't from Crazy Machine 2 itself, but rather with the anti-piracy program that comes with the download. The first time you run the CM2, it wants to automatically activate the program by running "TagesClient.exe" which is located under the same folder as "cm2.exe" (where you installed the game).

So the first thing to do is "simply" download the latest version of "TagesClient.exe", which works with Win 7. I found it here for both the 32 bit/64 bit platforms.

[...].

Download and install the appropriate file.

Then, in my case anyway, I needed to start the Crazy Machine program (only the first time) with Administrator priviledges. One way do this is to press the "Shift Key" while "Right-Clicking" on the Desktop Icon the game installation created. Select "Run as administrator" from there. From that point on, the activation process will begin and just follow the instructions. Next time you start the game (in regular mode, i.e. non-admin), things should be good.

Of COURSE, you MUST MEET the minimum requirements which is to have a PhysX graphics card installed on your machine. If this doesn't sound familiar to you.. chances are... you don't have it.

Hope this helped some...

3.0 out of 5 stars Some install problems but good otherwise, September 10, 2008
This review is from: Crazy Machines 2 - A New Dimension [Download] (Software Download)
The previous reviewer is correct in noting that install takes a long time (about 20-25 minutes, even on a new machine). The main issue, however, is the missing .dll file. This was easy to find through a Google search complete with an installer that resolved the problem. Nevertheless, one would expect the software to work effectively once installed without having to seek out missing files. No other issues (e.g., the processor issue noted by the earlier review) were noted. Game play is good.
