Thanks for the information Eric.  I sent a message to help desk and will wait for their reply.

<t> Ah ok. I am actually wondering about my download of Distant Worlds as well. I have it ordered from Sept 9th, 2010 but the download link isn't active and unfortunately I can't fill out the Digital River form because the first option needs a password (I never created one on Digital River) and the ...

Hi,

Is Matrix Games good about letting you redownload your games after the initial
download links have expired? Is there a limit on when they will not reactivate your
download for you (like one year, etc.)?

Thanks.

thanks for the info!

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I just bought Distant Worlds and saw that the download page I went to says I have 30 days to download the game. <br/>
<br/>
I didn't buy the extended download service feature, but is there any way to redownload the game after 30 days? If so, how long do I have to redownload it ...

thanks for the replies. i think i'm gonna bite on DW. I enjoy 4x games and I liked Galciv2. Armada, from what I've read, is very similar to Galciv2 with problematic tactical combat so DW is the better option for me right now. thanks.

I have played Galciv2. So Armada is more in the vein of that type of gameplay? I thought Galciv2 was pretty good, so if DW is more of a different experience, that would really make me lean more towards DW.

<t> hi, thanks for the info! i've been gather as much of a feel of the games as i can with being mainly a lurker on here, but thought i might be clearer if i just asked my question specifically. glad to see a pretty fast turnaround so far on DW bug fixes. <br/>

i was worried the real time ...

<t> Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Still debating internally with which one to buy. I held off on Armada because I knew this was coming out also. If anyone has the time to list the pros of each (or what each does better), I'd appreciate it. Don't know Matrix's policy on comparing to their own games, so apologies ...

<t> hi there, i'm pretty comfortably above the min specs but i was more worried about the lag problems a user reported earlier when zooming (which i think is a major part of the game). i'd be happy with even a non-playable short rolling demo snippet if there was one but i don't think there will be ...

Hi,

I'm wondering what is the refund policy for Matrix Games? I'd like to have a demo to make sure it runs without problems on my system but I've read there will be no demo. What is the refund policy for Matrix games in case there is a problem?

ah ok, great, thanks!

Hi,

What type of copy protection does the Matrix digital download do? Is there a limit on the number of installs and/or having to check with an online server (e.g. E-license).

That's a shame...man 70% on population control is ridiculous. Guess i'll have to hold off on this then.

Would you mind expanding on how much time you spend on the population emigration? That's the one thing holding me back from buying at the moment.

Thanks for the responses so far.

<t> I'm debating whether or not to buy the game in it's current state. There's no demo so I have question for owners. I've tried researching the game by reading the forums. There seems to be two main problems with the game (at least for me) from what I've read.<br/>
<br/>
1. Is it true that other ...
