   create list of terrible game and path installers bugs (read whole story)
  Hi all.Sorry for my week English but i wanted to share one thing with you.I will make this story as short as possible so let's start.Long time ago i buy Neverwinter Nights 2, I play it etc and leave for some time. Now not so long ago i wanted to plat it again, but i discover that there was a path for it. I download it and when i wanted to install it the installer says "There is no Neverwinter Nights 2 game installed on you system". Wtf ? Ok I reinstall game, still same message came. I reinstall it again, still same message. I started to piss off. I reinstall it over 5 times ! My family was piss of at me, my gf also because sit all day in front of my PC and i don't even start game yet !Next day i reinstall whole windows XP and install game without anything except drivers and guess what ? Same message came up ! This was a nightmare. How the hell the Path installer tells me that there is no NWN 2 game installed when i have it installed and i can run it ? What kind ow total nonsense is this ?I went to my friend and guess what ? Yes, same message came up. That was too much for me so I delete NWN2 from my system and promise to mysef that i will never ever buy anything from Obsidian Entertainment.Some time later, other friend tell me that people like me discover what cause this message. But before you will read about it, remember that:- I bought original game and i wanted to improve my experience by applying path, playing without it is not an option- Path installer tells me exactly this: "There is no Neverwinter Nights 2 game installed on you system". Not "You spec system is to low" "You don't have enough memory" etc Nothing that can help me in any way, no diagnostic, no log etc- I read everything that was delivered with game and don't find any help.- I asked about this at my local NWN2 forum and they told me that i have pirated copy omgSo what cause this stupid and nonsense message ? You will never guess: i didn't have 6 gigabytes of free space at my System(c:\) partition. The whole game was installed at D:\Games and i have over 100GB free space but no, you must have also 6GB at system partition to apply patch BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT IT HAHAHAHYes, that was causing this message. "There is no Neverwinter Nights 2 game installed on you system" = make 6GB of free space at System(c:\) partition.If only the path installer tell me exact cause of the problem, it would save me this whole nightmare. You wait for a second part of the game , you wait so log and after paying for it you get such nightmare. This is the end of story and since that time i don't finish NWN2.Similar stupid nonsense bug is when the path installer cannot find a game if you install it not in default location. SW:FU for PC is the best example.So what is the question ? Well i have one:Is there any place at Internet that ALL new game developers look and is there a list of such nonsenses that every new game developer reads ? If not, how about create such site and list ?Remember that I'm not talking about "every game bug that was discovered" - only the most stupid and terrible bugs that can cause so much pain in the ass, that people will want to throw they games outside of a window.I'm posting this question here because i can't find better place for it.   
  Look up the "Bad Game Designer, No Twinkie!" articles from The Designer's Notebook columns -- there are about 7 or 8 such articles if I recall correctly.
