alright, i have been beta testing this since really this browser and pc downloads started (which is a long time ago, i think 2-3months), and i have tried to play this particular game multiple times and it still dosent work. i also see that people are trying to get gamefly to notice by reviews being used as bug reports, well here is mine.
so this is a great game (i have it for consol) and i figured i would test out this game since i am willing to play it over and it would be a great way to test how this works (the gamefly downloads) and the first thing i find out is that prince of persia the sands of time (i downloaded this at the same time as sands of time) downloads fine but wont install WHAT SO EVER. then this finishes downloading and it installs. then wont play AT ALL.
so here is a bug report for gamefly
THIS GAME DOES NOT PLAY AT ALL!!!!
i have installed it multiple times and i either get a black screen or i get an error that says this Exactly
"This application has failed to start because bink32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
by the way, re-installing doesnt fix the problem. and yes i know this is buggy and that this saftware is still (kinda) in beta, but there have been these types of problems for a long time. at least TRY to fix these problems.
this is the same problem i had when i immediatly started beta testing by trying out this game and Assassins creed (which kinda worked) and i even posted a bug report about it then. BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED AT ALL.
this is a really cool idea and i support your trying this all the way through, but at least TRY to get these downloadable free games to work right. 2 months for something not to change is AGAINST THE WHOLE POINT OF THE "BETA" PART EVEN HAPPENING.
my advice for you, Managers of Gamefly and Tech Support of Gamefly, is either try to fix this and put a newsletter out to the people using this that you ARE trying, or just drop it and let us know that decision has passed
