The installation is still crap, but he is allegedly working on a rebuild that is at least more consistent.

Install, locate a zip within the installer, manually unzip, then download the latest patch and unzip in the mix, then download some random dll from internet and run obscure command line incantations, then remember to change the whole os language because numbers get parsed wrongly by foreign decimal separators.

Plenty crappy if you ask. But works. Never had any problem after doing it right and I'm on 7 64bit

The main thing to note with the installer is that when it asks about newer files, to answer yes to keep the newer files.

Yeah, it's crazy inconsistent how Windows does it. I actually answered 'no' the first time, as that usually means "No, do not overwrite." Don't even know what it replaced, but so far my system hasn't totally boinked up.

I also had to run Aurora in compatibility mode. My fresh Windows 7 install just wasn't running it correctly. Buttons would frequently stop working and all manner of errors were coming up. Running in XP compatibility mode, it's been pretty solid.

That is why you should read the window and understand what you are answering. Sorry if that sounds condescending but I do helpdesk work and 90% of the issues I run into at work are user error, and most of them are because the user didn't pay attention. If people read the stuff before clicking 'yes' or 'ok' a lot of problems would be avoided.

This. That particular prompt isn't confusing at all if you take ten seconds to read it.

The human race has a tendency to miss things or be impatient and not read.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.
