No, you've misunderstood me. Of course my example was exaggerated. What I meant to say is that almost all existing EULA in the majority of countries contain lots of unenforcable clauses. It would be nice if EULAs commonly contained niceties as you have suggested, but, sorry, that's just not true ;) (Don't believe me? Check out Facebooks EULA as a particularly entertaining example...) Anyway, let's not get this into an argument. I suppose we can agree that people are not allowed to steal intellectual property (be it with or without an EULA). The question is just what constitutes intellectual property. AFAIK, protocol and interface specification without software patent don't (except for the copyright of the documents describing them, of course), but I might be wrong. :smartass:

I (as a software author) can write a EULA that says that by clicking the AGREE button you sell your soul to me for the price of $1 and most people will probably click the button. :) The vast majority of all EULAs are "illegal" in many countries in the sense that some of their clauses simply don't hold when the matter is put to court.

My Biggest Concern I know, I know, this was never intended as a wishlist thread, but anyway here is my #1 wish... better XP multicore support Even the slightest improvement in multicore performance on XP would help me (and I presume many others) tremendously. Right now, I can only fly with haze switched off. :cry:

SOLVED I have solved the issue by removing the ATI driver again, cleaning up any remains with a utility, and reinstalling it again. Classic. :D By the way, I figured out that if the launcher starts but hangs during loading a mission, this can be caused by a missing Temp folder. Add an empty Temp folder and it works again.

Hi, I've purchased the English download version a few days ago and although my system is a bit outdated for it, I was really happy with it. Much more detailed then what I'm used to from X-Plane. DCS:BS is a great sim! :thumbup: My system: iMac Dual Core 2GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP (via Bootcamp), Mobility Radeon X1600 256MB VRAM, ATI 8.8 for Mobility Radeon before change, ATI 8.12 with Mobility Modder patch after change, original 8.8 driver after rollback Unfortunately, I had the glorious idea of updating ATI display drivers to 8.12. Since then, Launcher.exe opens just a white window with yellow loading label and grey stripe in the upper right corner and then crashes with the "encountered an error" message. I completely deinstalled DCS:BS with the deinstaller, then reinstalled it again. No change. I deinstalled the new drivers with ATI driver deinstall utility and installed the old ones (8.8 Radeon Mobility)...no change, the crash still occurs. I also tried just about any combination of monitor and Catalyst control center settings available. The error report says AppName launcher.exe ModVer 5.1.2600.2180, AppVer 0.0.0.0 Offset 0006a21e, ModName opengl32.dll. The multi-player version launches without problems. (And just to be clear, yes, I do start Launcher.exe by the menu or desktop shortcut.) All of my other games work with both drivers, e.g. FSX, Fallout 3, Spore, Mass Effect, etc. Does anyone have an idea what else to try? Is there a settings file in a user directory that I should also delete?
