EAXIS DUMBEST MISTAKE YET!!!!
Lerf:
OK, I called tech support again, and got told first that they had a "work around" but he needed to find out what it was. I suggested a manual install for reasons I'll explain in a minute and he said I could do that but he wanted to check about the workaround since I was the first person he'd spoken to with the problem. He came back and said his supervisor had said they weren't using the workaround explained that it's a problem with some systems and not others and had me give him some of the specs on my machine--processor, graphics card, RAM, gc ram. He also said there should be a patch next week.
I posted on the board and received this reply from IAmMAMAINRED:
Make sure all your games are patched.
Then re-boot the PC & manually install it.
It is not the game keeping it from installing, it is
a SecuROM issue for most.

It also needs a gig is RAM, so if your specs are at min level, it will not install.
I'm not sure I want to try a manual install at this point, but I know as soon as this gets straightend out and there's a no-CD patch for MG Secure ROm goes bye-bye.
Edited for spelling and a wetware memory error.

Ok, installed now. First I got an "install not succeeded" message. Thing is, I had the same problem when I tried to patch AL so I never installed the patch - now I reinstalled, patched and the M&G installed fine. So I guess you need a patched AL game to be able to install this one. Doesn't explain lerfs problems though?
HomeschooledByTards:
But SecuROM doesn't cause any problems! It's clearly something else, like maybe you have a pirated version. EA said SecuROM was perfectly safe, and EA wouldn't lie to us would they? ::)
At least there's a workaround, but there shouldn't need to be a workaround. Stupid EAxis.

My game is patched. Both patches, in fact. NOw BV wouldn't patch the first time, but did the last time I reinstalled.

That's very strange, since I have installed MG and am playing it, on top of AL. And everything appears to be functional. Are you sure the tech support people knew what they were talking about, Lerf?
