Just grabbed my first copy of LiF. Have been watching it since last November (?), and so far, I am very pleased with what I see. I am also very glad to hear that the devs are active! There have been way too many times, I've bought into an Alpha, only to be holding onto a piece of under-developed garbage, b/c the devs got bored with the game. My friends who have this game, informed me that you folk are very active, and very responsible. And that is GREAT!
Now that I've purchased the game, I find myself in a bit of a pickle.
The game installed just fine, but when I go to create a game, it apparently either takes a very VERY long time, or it locks up.
I tried turning the game on in Admin Mode, but this didn't seem to solve it. This is when I noticed the red letters informing us that we need to turn off our anti-virus and bring down our firewalls!
Well guys, I like you, but dropping my firewall and shutting off my anti-virus is like asking me to drop me britches in public! It's very awkward, and I just don't trust folk!
1.) What's up with this request?
2.) Are we being told that we need to run "unprotected" to play this game?
3.) Is there an alternative???
Any help you folks can provide would be awesome!
Thank you.
