Author | Topic: Warning! Editor CD!!!
wgell Member Posts: 254 From:Lochwinnoch, Scotland Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 05-20-2001 07:49 AM After Aqua Stylish`s Editor CD exploded in her drive I went to back mine up. Only to find it is cracked and won`t read anymore!!! I`ve only used it three times f`gawdsakes! I`m gonna post it to Eidos and complain. So check your copies folks it looks like a dodgy CD has been used for the editor as this has happened to others. I scanned it in. This is after three installations and the rest of the time it has been in it`s box. I mean...c`mon!! ------------------ Will Gell Play my levels at... www.wgell.net Download Raid On featuring Lara... www.wflg.clara.co.uk/music/raidon.mp3 IP: Logged

Aqua Stylish Member Posts: 159 From:Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 05-20-2001 08:38 AM Will that's how mine looked but it had about 5 or 6 cracks so it was like a time bomb just waiting to go off, and it did! And because of the cracks it wouldn't install fully so I had to always install without audio which is a bummer! Also I wouldn't keep them in the thin Chronicles box that it comes in because with all the manuals and booklets the CD presses up against the lumpy plastic thing that holds the Chronicles CD and that is probably why it cracks!

I`m going to print off this thread and post it to Eidos along with the CD. Bring back the big old boxes instead of these DVD type things!! ------------------ Will Gell Play my levels at... www.wgell.net Download Raid On featuring Lara... www.wflg.clara.co.uk/music/raidon.mp3 IP: Logged

Aqua Stylish Member Posts: 159 From:Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 05-21-2001 05:01 AM I can't believe you poor guys, at least I used mine about 60-70 times before the piece of rubbish went toe up, but it cracking after 2 or 3 times well that's just infuriating!

MichaelB Member Posts: 217 From: Registered: May 2000 | posted 05-21-2001 07:31 AM I've used mine as a coaster, a frisbee, and once under the leg of a wobly chair... oh now, wait.. that WAS a coaster... Mine's fine so far; I've never heard of this before. Is it common with CD's? Are all of these faulty CD's in the UK?? ------------------ How can I be dead already? IP: Logged
wgell Member Posts: 254 From:Lochwinnoch, Scotland Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 05-21-2001 10:27 AM No Sash (Aqua) is an Aussie. I`ve NEVER had this happen to any other CD. I mean I`ve used the original TR CD millions of times and this thrice and it cracks!!!!!!! ------------------ Will Gell Play my levels at... www.wgell.net Download Raid On featuring Lara... www.wflg.clara.co.uk/music/raidon.mp3 IP: Logged
