I've only had the one "issue" with any of several games I've bought
through Matrix but I wasn't overly impressed with the support.

I ended up registering for another forum where the developers (of BoA)
hung out and worked through the issues with them. (It turned out to be
the use of French-accented characters in filenames - got the clue and
corrected about four instances of those manually).

Erik asked me (nicely) in here to report the ultimate cause and the
fix back to the "support" staff and I thought about it for a couple of
days. Thoughts such as "Why don't they do their OWN research?" crossed
my mind more than once, but eventually I did update that problem.

Frankly, the decider was that Erik had been quite courteous in here in
making his request. Any sign of "additood" would have left an open
unresolved problem that I'd be pestering "support" about on a
3-monthly schedule for years to come - while playing a functional game
(or, as it turns out, not).

I hope it doesn't happen to anybody else.

The fact that the game isn't as interesting as I'd read here, isn't
Matrix's fault.

I didn't buy it the day it shipped, that was the whole point.

I waited until I'd read comments and whinges, then I waited till SP2
was releaed, then I waited to buy some hardware that could cope.

It's all part of a Master Plan.

So's a statue by Auguste Rodin, but "does it run"? The statue isn't
supposed to, how's that Ferrari stack up in performance?

For the record, it's only fair to say that I took up this offer and am
more than satisfied by the outcome.
