There is currently a "non-scene" working release available on torrents and such.
Basically someone repackaged the game (manually done some tasks that installer should have done automatically) in a matter of hours.
Question is: why do paying customers get to wait for the replacement "plan" to be put together? Why isn't there a downloadable fix put together by developers? Clearly it doesn't take much time to make.
"Purchase it straight away" button, or something along those lines... We are a community where the mindset of "can't make profit? Litigate !" - and it is only getting worse.
