Found it!!  ;D

But it's only on your new sites... WHY OH WHY do you confuse me so?  ???

You know SOME people put a forwarding link instead of their old web sites to avoid confusing people  :D
Actually, I got there through a search engine. I wasn't aware that you have a new site until I saw the link on the old site.

I'll download it as soon as I get my internet at home (hopefully soon)  8).

Good point, but the old site contains a lot of information (history of the site and such) that's not on the new site. (yet or not at all) That's why it's still up. We added a message on the 'news'-page telling people about our new site, so I guess they'll find it; eventually.

They are aware of the bug, and there's ways to get around it (I never had the bug, so I'm fortunate).

Go to the tierra site and to their forums, and go to the technical and Bugs forum.  Top of the messages is a FAQ, read it and it'll tell you how to get by that problem.

I just had the same bug.
See Erpy, I told you to take me as a beta tester...  ;)

I'm having issues downloading this game.  I'm still on dial up (too far for DSL, and we may be a tenny bit out of range for the AT & T cable modem coming to my area), and it's going to take about 4 hours on my comp.

SO...

Are there any programs out there that can resume downloads after you log offline AND shut off the computer?  That's pretty much the only way I can download this game (option2, which I really don't want to do is leave it on Sunday, when I'll be out with a friend and my sis is working.  But then I have no way to disconnect automatically when it's done)

I'm don't know about a program turning on your computer and logging in. I don't think it could be done.

BUT you should use "GetRight" or any other download manager. They can shut down/disconnect when it's done. I know GetRight has it, not sure about any others.

Fortunately for me, I just got a SUPER-FAST, ALWAYS ON-LINE CABLE CONNECTION!!! yeah!!!
So there is something good about living in the big city. It's the fact that you can have fast internet connection installed within a week  :P

For the record, this game is phenomenal.  Truly the way a fanmade game should be done.  While technically it is KQ2 and it borrows many elements from the original, it's a TOTALLY different game, from the overlying storyline, right down to the re-working of the puzzles.
