RE: Matrix Store - Duplicate Charge

<t> I received multiple "Download Order Information" emails - 4 copies for each item purchased. I have never seen a payment error after the VISA pop-up auth window successfully authorises the transaction, and the items were left in my cart, so I then retried with PayPal instead. I most certainly did...

Matrix Store - Duplicate Charge

I bought the complete edition of Gladius, plus the two Battlesector DLCs, from the Matrix store earlier today, and first got a "payment error" after the payment was successfully authorised by the VISA auth system, a...

RE: PLEASE (!!) port to ipad!

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Capn Darwin<br/> <br/> We are glad you are enjoying the game. As for a port, we would need to do a ground up rebuild to mesh with ios. Sadly not a simple sideways port, but we do like the idea of a version for iPad. And a Mac build for Brant. [:D] <e>[/quote]</e></...

RE: OS X: Guide to installation

That's good news - you're welcome.

Erik, you might want to consider sticking this - with the disclaimer that this is an unofficial, unsupported way of installing and playing the game. Though this should be obvious since this is a Windows game and it says so on the store page.
