Don't install the patch!
Now that's one hell of a bug... (link from [livejournal.com profile] bateleur)

Heh, saw that this morning on WTF. I only had the 14 day trial anyway so I didn't install anything other than the original, massively bloated game file. Makes you wonder if the code to process credit card payments slipped past QA horribly buggy too... :P

Hardly. Most consumer software contains disclaimers that state that you use the software at your own risk or at least that they don't claim the software is completely bug-free.

I'd be fucked off if my .ini file was replaced with another file.

A couple of years back there was an email going around that said "search for this file!" (the ini), "if you have it, it's a virus, delete it immediately!"

My dad had a computer repair business and you have no idea how many people rang him up because they fell for it.

Oh yeah, I'm not doubting your right to be fucked off with them, it's just very unlikely that a lawsuit will be successful. If they are a decent company they will search for a way of compensation, after all, it's your subscription they'll be losing.

They've warned about it on the eve news, which is there when you load the game. And it's not installing the patch that does it, it's if you switch one of the graphics settings, so it's simple to not switch that setting until they fix it, which they're doing asap.
Of course, the people who got hit before they realised it had happened are extremely unfortunate.

fixed, but gave me a scary moment.... at about 2 am, my PC did shutdown unexpectedly.... thankfully, it had'nt wiped my boot..


I expect there will be a nice dissection of the error, sooner or later.
