CD not needed in drive to play
Authored by: alaric on Jul 10, '02 12:54:23PM

You do need to put the cd in the drive to start the game, however, once the game is loaded you can press (and hold) F12 to eject the cd. This does not affect gameplay adversely at all.

Sort of what I meant to write...

I think I knew that, but didn't write about it very eloquently ;-). Basically, I object to having to insert the CD in the first place, if it's not required for gameplay. That means I need to go dig it out of the shelf when I have 20 spare minutes for the game, and remove whatever I happened to be using at that point in time. Twenty minutes later, I reverse the process.

I'm all for protecting your investment in software development, but use a serial number key checked on the net or something (ala Quake3); requiring the CD is quite a pain...
