To Ossie (and anyone else interested in MMX): First progress report

    A bit of difficulty. So far, Ubisoft won't allow me to play. It seems they bought the rights to MMX while I wasn't looking. At first, they wouldn't allow me access to a game I've already played dozens of times, because my E-mail address was changed (I'd changed service providers, and the new service demanded a longer address.) After that was settled, they welcomed me into their flock, as it were, but required one more te-e-eny bit: I could not play unless I removed my ad blocker and allowed heaven-knows-what number and variety of cookies. This I categorically declined to do, and told them so. I scolded Ubisoft roundly for their cavalier behavior, and am eagerly awaiting Round Two. I'll let you know more when I get their response.

Ubisoft is so, so, so terrible

    Forcing the buggy Uplay client, requiring online play even though the game doesn't require it, abandoning support after only six months. I said at the time that I won't give Ubisoft another cent of my money ever again as long as they keep the same system, and I haven't, and I won't.

    But screwing up a game I have already legally purchased and worked previously is just next-level terrible.

    I have now encountered a new problem: I cannot enter Sudgard even though I have a Runepriest in my party, and have received the promotion quest. I get the message saying you must have a dwarf in the party.

    Both of these things relate to promotion quests. I suspect the game requires the quest and particular character to move past, and for some reason thinks I don't have them, when I do. So that's the promotion quests for two of my four characters that are broken.

    Like Peter2 said on my previous post, I expect this to be fatal. But I'm still going to bug Ubisoft support and waste their time trying to fix it. My honest opinion, given I already legally purchased the game, is that the only way to play Ubisoft games is to download the cracked no-CD no-Uplay versions from the start

Now this is really weird

    Apparently Ubisoft now owns MMX, but when I tried MM6, it fired right up, with no flak. Now how do you own one side of a virtual disk, but not the other? AFAIK, MM6 for Win10 was only available piggy-backed with MMX. The actual disk for MM6(at least the one bundled with MM Millennium Edition, which contained World of Xeen through MM8)will play in Win10, albeit rather reluctantly: crashes, slow performance, etc. Oops! Having written this, I hope Ubisoft's spies aren't reading it, lest they insist I watch their ads before I can finish 6!)

    Ossie, I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you. And being here in California, I certainly empathize for the horrible fires in your beautiful country. There was a lot in the media about the koalas and kangaroos, but no word about the really strange beasts: the salt-water crocodiles. AFAIK, Australia is the only place in the world that they're found. (We saw them in Cairns.) I hate to see any species go extinct.
