I've just tried everything I know to do including uninstall reinstall, still no sound and it's not the pad settings I'm pretty sure, also still getting connection lost, so I think I might actually give up as well, shame theres no way to get any recompense, if there was fingers might be got out and the problems fixed, even the forum is acting up, so I'm going to find something else.
I've enjoyed playing when playing was possible and I've met a lot of wonderful people here and made some very fine and good friends.
While the forum is fun, it's really only half of it, you need the game too, the forum without the game and the game without the forum are just not the same.
Ill keep checking back to see if there is any change, but quite honestly it just seems to be getting worse, I'm typing this carefully in the hope that when I hit submit it shows up, because right now there is nothing visible as I type. Invisible typing!
