    I noticed that Steam did a relatively large update for MMX but I'vebeen too busy working to see the updates. Ossie have you seen the update and does it fix some issues you've brought up?

    To be honest I hadn't seen the update - after completing the game sadly I haven't bothered to even load it up again.

    Having just checked the updates, it appears several minor bugs have been addressed, but nothing is mentioned on the two major mainline quest-killing bugs that were encountered. I can only assume they either don't know how, or aren't planning to, fix them.

    Even though I can avoid the game-killing bugs, I'm not inclined to replay it at all at the moment. Part of this was the extremely poor experience I had first time around, & partially it's just not a game that inspires me to replay: the other characters won't add much to the replay experience, & the turn-based mode makes it fairly linear & impossible to run around the map using the knowledge you have learned from the first playthrough, so game #2 is going to play pretty much exactly as game #1, as will game #3 etc etc.

    Maybe in time I'll want to revisit it, and looks like there's also a new chapter released with the latest patch. But the short answer is no, it doesn't fix the issues I have with it.

    The devs also haven't figured out, or haven't bothered, to make the patches compatable with current games, so you have to start again with an entirely new game to obtain any benefit from the patches. Add to that the issues with trying to update anything through Uplay in the first place (updates around 5% then fails, then you have to update again, loads another 5% then fails etc) & I can't see me wanting to bother again with this unfortunate mess any time soon.

    I'm starting to think you have a Uplay issue cause I've yet to have an issue with Uplay... That last bit about having to start new game for updates and new content is..... Disappointing. I've been too busy playing diablo 3 to try the new dl stuff. Hehe.

    Uplay may have improved - I haven't even loaded it (or MMX), since I completed the game. Maybe in time I'll get a hankering to revisit it. But certainly not like the hankering I get to revisit the earlier titles. Just writing this now I want to start a new MM7 game!

    And the patches not being backward-compatable is definitely keeping me away from updating & playing the new chapter: I'm not bothering with the entire game again just to explore some new upgrade they tacked on the end

8 gig game content

    I don't know if this is helpful at all. I was told the game had an 8 gig game content update and has made the game much better. If someone has some info about this, that would be great. Thanks.
