    Desslock had a few more words to say following his review of Pool of Radiance in this short update. Here's an excerpt:

    Some of the technical problems are inexplicable:

    - how can any gaming company produce a game that runs ineffectively on Nvidia Geforce cards, when they're currently the dominant choice among gamers?
    - How could the QA department miss the fact that the game will only install to the c:/program files directory (and, even worse, if certain applications interrupt the installation, subsequently uninstalling the program may wipe the C: drive)?
    - How could the QA department miss the fact that saving the game while a party member is invisible or blinking will instantly destroy your ability to resave the game? Almost everyone I know who has played the game has encountered this bug.

    Ubi Soft has been unable to consistently keep its forums online, to provide gamers with the assistance they need in order to resolve disputes. Some readers have angrily written me suggesting that Ubi Soft took down the official boards in order to wipe out all of the negative comments directed at the game, but even if we give Ubi Soft the benefit of the doubt - that the boards have periodically been down because of the volume of requests - that's evidence enough that many purchasers needed help with the game. Ubi Soft has published an official explanation for their actions, apologizing to purchasers who are experiencing problems. No news yet on when a patch will be made available.

    Read the rest.
