2300 CD ROM CORRECTIONS - Please assist

[yatima]

It doesn't look like that is on the CD, LordVan, so I guess GDW didn't publish it. Every challenge article relating to 2300AD is on the CD, as is Star Cruiser and the associated page of counters. But a (very) quick look through the Challenge articles didn't turn up anything like the article you mentioned. Perhaps someone else will recall that article and who published it.

Just got the CD. These issues do not seem to be covered yet...

I'd also add to Feld's list above that the 2300AD Director's Guide is a bit faint IMHO.

The Director's guide has been covered in the links above. I think the issue is that FFE hasn't had a chance to rescan it yet.

Dissapointed in the CD

I was dissapointed with the CD. I bought the first edition and there was a rush of emails regarding the problems and missing pages/faint scans but then nothing came of it. I don't get on here often, so I may have missed the fix for those who needed it. The CD was great in the areas that it did cover but there were to many missing pages or cropped sections for my liking.

Thread necromancy (request for update)

I'm about twenty years late to the 2300AD party, but was looking to get the CD from FFE (I've got the CT CD-ROM, which is great). Any idea if the problems mentioned have been addressed. That is, has anyone gotten a copy lately and, if so, how is it looking now?

 

[Vile]

I would like to ask the same question as Sandcaster. Has anybody bought a copy of the 2300AD CD-ROM lately, and have all those missing bits been included? And if not, is there anywhere else I can get those pages?

 

[wyrmwood]

Looks like there hasn't bee a lot of activity on this in a while, however, I just ordered the CD-ROM for Traveller 2300/ 2300AD, so I'll let you know when it arrives.

All these are current issues with the CD I just received.
I'll send a copy of this to FFE. Perhaps they still have a number of the uncorrected cd's, one of which I received.

I just received a "partially corrected CD" from Mark Miller,

Excellent Wyrmwood.

Thanks for the update

 

[Duke Pellinor]

Any news on the quality of the CD now?

 

[wyrmwood]

I haven't checked the rest of the errors listed (but I will - and will post). I should point out, the version I have is "partially corrected" and the "corrected" CD should be available "by the end of the year" (quotes by MM)

Marc has asked me to put together a complete list of issues users have found with the 2300AD CD...

Is wyrmwood's list above the best, most complete list?

that list is just from this forum

 

[DonM]

My apologies; I'm not a 2300AD fan, just a loyal minion of Marc's...
So I know of no other 2300AD forums.

Perhaps if you would e-mail me at don.mckinney@gmail.com with relevant information, so we do not break any board rules, with further details?

Thanks!

 

[DonM]

One more question:

The comments above for the Players' Guide, is that the 2nd Ed. Adventurers' Guide?

And the comments above for the Director's Guide, is that 2nd Ed?

 

[wyrmwood]

yeah (2300AD versus Traveller 2300)

The only outstanding issues with the partially corrected CD:
