I sent a ticket to D2D today...

I did the same. Could everybody else having the same problem send a ticket to the Direct2Drive support, please? Here is a link: http://support.direct2drive.com/ics/support/ticketNew.asp

Wait for Team Meat to realise they do everything wrong.

What do you mean with "everything"? It's only one thing I want to know: Why was the Direct2Drive version never updated?

[version 1 from December 2010]

I stopped playing the game for 3 month. Today I tried to download it again from Direct2Drive. Only to see it's still version 1 from December 2010. No updates. No language support. No configuration. Visual C++ crap thrown directly into C:\. What the heck is going on? Did D2D took the money and run away? If this is true why are they still allowed to sell the game?

OK, I actually got a game. But on Steam everybody got multiple updates for free. I paid the same and got less. Why? What can I do? Do I have to download a cracked version to get what I payed for?

[into the root]

There is an additional bug in the Direct2Drive version (I tried to download a new version today but unfortunately it's still version 1.0):

During installation the installation files of the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package" are copied into the root of the hard disc where the game is installed.

Please don't do this. Use the temp directory.

[languages]

Same two problems here and a third one:

It seems the game supports different languages but it's always starting in English. How to change the language? Since the configuration is broken (see above) I don't know what to do. It's not really a problem. I'm just wondering.

Anyway, great game. It's unbelievable, but I died 1500 times in two days and it's still a lot of fun.
