Any idea if there is a demo to this game.  I'm always interested in trying out a good game before buying. :happy:

The game seems very good, but at the moment I'm experiencing a bit of buyer's remorse. The game consistently crashes when attempting to load a multiplayer saved game. I got it with multiplayer in mind, and the games are LONG, so this is a deal-breaker for me at the moment.

I've filed a ticket with support and they're working with me, but it's happened on three machines and two versions of the OS, so I'm pretty sure it's not a problem on my end. May want to wait for a patch...

Is this a MP game Mac-Mac or Mac-PC?  Is the MP file from a previous version a PC copy?

Mac-Mac, and a brand new game, and it happens consistently with new games. BUT, I've gotten a response to my ticket and they say the problem may be fixed as early as tomorrow! I'll post an update.

Earlier than tomorrow. Patch is out now, and it's fixed. Now, that's a bug that should never have made it to release, but the support team was very responsive and FAST. Go buy the game now. ;)
