Please e-mail me at erikr@matrixgames.com with your Order ID and I can check on that with DR. I know orders have been shipping out since release, so my main concern would be that either it was lost in shipping or that it is still in transit.

Regards,

- Erik

Status: offline 		I've downloaded it; but it is best to have a physical copy. Got email from Digital River saying theyd sent it, or implying strongly theyd sent it. If Washington DC is out of the way and off the beaten path...actually it IS the beaten path...then that would explain it. Lots of probs with digital river last few years....bought dozen games from Matrix, six problems with digital river...

DC, eh? Maybe your shipment got hijacked by bandits, then. DC is a regular warzone, and unless the shipment is for some politician, it won't receive the escort it needs and may not make it through intact.

Status: offline 		Eric tells me that UPS lost my physical copy. I find it's about 50-50 when I order or download software from Matrix via digital river. Something goes wrong, not usually the same thing twice. But I ALWAYS think a long time before I buy a game. Dont know if my experience is typical or Im just unlucky. It isnt as bad as 50-50 elsewhere when I buy software, but it is a consideration at all times. Matrix is honest and ethical so far as I can tell, so I continue to consider buying their products....

Kind of worried too, I opted out of the download insurance on the belief that I was going to get a hard copy.

Status: offline 		i checked my local stores and couldnt find any distributed hardcopies present for any of matrix's games. Is that due to my country not being in their coverage or that they simply dont do hardcopy retail distribution?

FYI, it looks like the postal service lost yours too. We shipped it out, it should have arrived by now. We shipped out a replacement copy to you by a trackable shipping method late last week.
