What a GREAT way to start the game.. more like being unable to launch due to a missing .dll. The file in question is ‘granny2.dll’. I looked around and saw there’s a way to repair. So I ran it, tried again, and again the .dll is missing came up.
I went into the folder it’s supposed to be in, and saw the file. It was the same size from the website I saw. So there should be nothing wrong.
I tried deleting it, and running the repair again. It re-added the file. Launched.. SAME FUCKING ERROR!!!
What the hell is this “granny2.dll” file anyway? From what I read, the game uses a game engine called “Granny 3D”. That sounds so… old. So I’m forced to use the game’s tech support. Their only option to get help, is emailing. No phone number. No live chat. Just email. Boy, did I really scrape the bottom of the barrel here.
I’m forced to wait a day until they respond, with a broken game. This is just lovely. Just lovely. I wonder what the outcome will be. But I do know this. If it involves me having to reinstall again, I will do it. But if that file is missing again… I’m getting my $15 back from Green Man Gaming. Not paying for a broken, confused launcher.
I’ll instead buy Wildstar.
EDIT: Ohh… this just got better. I thought of asking my issue on the forum. Login seems to be different here. So I tried to register. It’s asking for an Invitation Code. What the fuck? I need an invitation… to join a forum. Seriously? I was not even given a code to join the forum when I set up my account.
I’m about ready to say “fuck this” and get my money back!
EDIT2: I’ve decided. Fuck this shit! I don’t see an option to disable my account, so I’ll just let that sit there. I have uninstalled the game, and in the process of (hopefully) getting my $15 back (assumed I have to make a ticket with them).
If I don’t get my $15 back, it will be the last game I buy from Green Man Gaming.
Still waiting for them to respond to my ticket. It’s been two hours. I have a feeling this is going to take up to three days until I get a response.
Anyway, I wanted to take this time to say I actually feel more upset than pissed. I was so hoping this thing would be my kind of MMO (due to it having all of Tamriel in it, and the awesome First Person camera). This could had been the ultimate ‘Single Player game’ for me. It just seems it wasn’t meant to be.
Maybe it’s best (don’t see how though).
