Another reason to NOT get BV
Meshy114:
With my Christmas money I decided to get myself and expansion pack. I went to my local Target store, and all they had was BV. I wanted Seasons as that is the next one I needed. So I say to myself, "what the heck, my mermaids need oceans to live in anyway! I'll just get Seasons later!"
I loaded it up, it was normal. This is what happened...
Notice there is no "Launch Sims 2 Bon Voyage".... Interesting....
So I double click the icon to start the game, this is what I get...
A LINK TO EA ASKING ME TO PLAY ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angryfir:
So I call EA, what do I get? 2 different techs saying "Oh, that's weird" and "I donno, never heard of this problem before..."
Never had I been so pissed of with a tech support, AND tried to COMPLAIN about the lack of help and I get HUNG UP ON!
Needless to say, if I wasn't so damn poor, I'd microwave BOTH disk's and send them back. But I told the lady at the return counter to do it, and got Seasons instead. (Went to a different Target... all they had was Seasons, no BV) I will NEVER get another expansion pack beyond what I have.
I know some people had issues with the SecuROM. Mine was nowhere related to that. I got a bad disk and they refused to admit it.
To EA, you punks really f***ed up this time. Fix your problems and don't tell me they are mine to deal with!
Even better than un-helpful tech people, BV made it so that when I went to look at a picture I had on my computer, it said it was either a corrupt file, or the name was bad. THANK GOD I'm not retarded and I did a system restore after I FULLY deleted ANY BV file. I am currently reloading my game. I'm on disk 1 of UNI. This is going to be a long night.... at least I was planning on staying up late...
Happy new year to me EAxis almost made me lose my WHOLE last 5 years worth of pictures!!!
:rant:
OK ,done now.

There was nothing wrong with your disks. Mine looks that way also. As far as I can tell you are not playing your game online. You just click the huge play button and the game loads as usual. I have not had any problems with it.

The play button never worked. It was like the whole thing was un-clickable.

I had to take out my downloads folder and then I could get BV to load up the first time. Then I closed it and put my downloads folder back in and it worked. Now and again when I add something BV won't start up, and I have to once again start it up w/o my downloads, then I can close it and restart with the downloads. I don't know what the problem is, but you might have been able to play it w/o downloads or by taking them out and then putting them back in.
Oh, and it doesn't actually make you play online.

Since you aren't asking for help with your game, just venting your frustration, this is really not the right forum for this post.
