CaioCologni Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well, This is my first post here in SI Community. I'm here to say that I'm very disappointed with SI Games. Let me tell my story, it is not a tragedy, but got me nuts. Well, I play the game Championship Manager (when SI and EIDOS used to work together) since it was in 99-00 Edition, and for Brazil it's a wonderful thing, because the game was never sold officially here and we just knew about the game from the mouths of friends. and FM is my favorite game ever! But the last year I decided to buy the official game. I thought it was fair, because this game gave me more fun than any other activity. And I don't regret of buying this from US, because now I can protest as a Official Customer. Last week I format my computer, and I forgot to save some stuff. One of these stuff was the Patch 8.02 for the WSM Boxed Version. But I thought in my head: "Oh ****! I forgot to save it! But Don't worry Caio! It is OBVIOUS that SI Games have a donwload repository in its website." At this time I began suffering. The Obvious thing did not turned real. SI GAMES don't have a download repository!! Please, don't tell me about that TORRENT repository. My Torrent Client is trying to download the patch for a week, but nobody has the file to share with me. I guess this is a lack of respect with the customer. If somebody is buying the game right now, he will not have access to the correction of the bugs, that the game has in its x.0.0 version. But Then I though: "Oh.. Let me try the 'Check For Updates' functionality in the game!" But my hope went down when I saw the message in SI website: New version available We've detected that a newer version is available from the Sports Interactive website. However, we are unable to find the download in our database currently. Please try later! Good Job SI Programmers, worked on a functionality that... DOENS'T WORK!!!! And now I'm seeking for someone who is more intelligent than SI GAMES and uploaded the patch in any server where we can download it from HTTP. Sorry for my bad english (I'm from Brazil), and for my lack of patience, but I guess if I bought the game officially I have my rights! And SI, I've dispointted me. Caio PS: I'm rooting for everything I have said is a slush, and in the post below someone have posted a BEAUTIFUL link for the download. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kewell08 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 You mean like this one? http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=31218&highlight=patch+mirrors Seriously, it took about five seconds to search patch and find that topic. That rant was a little excessive. "Where can I find the patch?" would have covered it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaioCologni Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Great. THANKS A LOT! Sorry if I did not found the download easier, but I tryed I swear. Well, I still think that SI MUST have a centrilized server with all its downloads. And make the functionality of the game begin to work, because now this is useless.

Guest roberto922 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It relies on it's community, always has, alway will. That's one of the things that makes it so good. Also it's not difficult, all I did was type '8.0.2 patch' in Google and voila right at the damn top is the link I provided Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougyMarshall Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Its generaly a good idea not to basicly insult the people you want help from. Plus admiting you have played their games ilegaly in the past usualy doesnt work in your favour when you then demand they help you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Where does he say that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSCCG Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 he hinted it but nothing explicit, I thought it was a bit edgy but not enough to be banned for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
