Cricket Coach: Availability update

Availability update
Posted by Oli Norwell on April 2nd 2006
Since the first version of the game was released on Friday we've had many reports of users experiencing the game crash back to the desktop.

This has concerned us as we never had any of these problems whilst testing. After some investigating it appears that the Softwrap code which checks for the end of your trial period may be interfering with the game and causing it to crash.

Until we can be confirm this one way or another we have removed the download. The title will be released again once we are certain that the game is compatible with the Softwrap system.

We apologise for releasing the title without adequate testing of the Softwrap locking mechanism, this was an oversight. We simply wished to spend all our time improving gameplay features, in hindsight we should have given more time to testing the Softwrap compatibility with our title.

Interesting....

usy · 2nd April 2006, 01:47 PM

hondeyho · 2nd April 2006, 01:58 PM

Why don't they just bring out a 6-Month or a Season demo, that would be much easier because the Softwrap system sucks.

usy · 2nd April 2006, 02:00 PM

yeah, I did'nt even get to play a whole day, I won't be stiing in front of Cricket Coach game for 24 hours , yeah ?

hondeyho · 2nd April 2006, 02:14 PM

I know I installed CC at 11:30 on my laptop. Then we I tried to play it again in the morning it wouldn't let me. This whole softwrap system sucks.

Gibbsrules · 2nd April 2006, 02:27 PM

Yeah,I think a half season demo will be better.

They can look at this next time before releasing it, may help.

Glenn Stiemens · 2nd April 2006, 02:46 PM

We won't be bringing out a season long/half season demo, I'm afraid.

Yes, usy, that game is distributed with Softwrap as well - not sure how that will help us though as their are thousands of products distributed using this system.

Ste · 2nd April 2006, 02:50 PM

If you purchase the game does the checking for the end of the trial period stop and therefore the game not crash?

Sman-21 · 2nd April 2006, 03:18 PM

The fact that they are continuing to work on this and keep updating there website during the weekend gives me faith that they will get things sorted and wont do an easports on us.

Great work cricket coach team hope you get these problems sorted and can add some of our suggestions.

It's possible, I've no way of knowing for sure.

Wildwil · 2nd April 2006, 03:49 PM

Hope you guys make the bugs better then it will be great

Ste · 2nd April 2006, 04:11 PM

I've paid for it now so will report back if it crashes at all now.

EDIT - Bangla drew the series 1-1 with Aus.
in the ODI series Bangladesh won 2-1.
