We never made a secret about the fact that Quake 2 would come as a bundle of the PC version with a separate CD containing the Amiga version.

Quake 2 is GPL which makes it very difficult to justify the expense of actually licensing the full game and doing a professional pressing.

It was a bit of an experiment on our part, a community support project.

Having said that, you should have received the full Quake 2 PC version in your bundle.

What I find strange is that you do not contact your dealer which sold you the product.

It is very hard to take you seriously.

First of all, I already pointed out several times that you should contact our developers for support.

Several downloads are available.

More likely that not, you are running some kind of hack wich interfers with Freespace: MCP, Executive or Birdie are likely candidates.

Rather than doing so, you prefer to rubbish our product on a public website.

Secondly, the game was reviewed by a number of independent reviewers and nobody reported this so-called instability.

>As to the mods, even Hyperion has run into legal trouble >with many of them... AFAIR

Sorry, that's incorrect.

The fact of the matter is that the Quake 2 EULA only allows distribution of Quake 2 mods from end-user to end-user.

That is the only "legal trouble" we have had with those mods.
