It's too late, the rules were already broken. But adding this to the manual is no bad idea.

Has someone leaked one of the prereleases? :(

What a dick!

It's to be expected, especially when there's a torrent file floating about. Without a really restrictive system this sort of thing is pretty hard to stop.

Yes, from someone with half a brain. I blame spoilers for getting these half-wits into the game.

The torrents should be restrictive enough if no one shares the .torrent files (or at least, their info_hash values) with those who don't have prerelease access. But that might just be what happened.

Well yes, that's all that needs to happen. Or someone sharing the login details for the download page - it's not like we all have individual accounts there, so anyone can share the login and TB wouldn't have a clue who did it.

I'm not that bothered overall though. I can understand TB not wanting to waste a lot of effort on a rigorous system for this, and it's not like others getting access has any negative effect on me.

Son of a triple headed gorgon.... ah well... I only bought into it recently, so I only just now found out about that error... wish I could have reported it BEFORE it happened.... pity. sorry guys.

Yes, it was to be expected. Don't blame yourself... "those" people probably would've ignored this part of the manual anyway. :)

Yeah, it always happens, and with more than 1500 donors it would be a miracle if none of them leaked anything. In fact, if it only happened recently, I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier.

But I strongly think the ADOM team have done the right thing in not trying to impose convoluted protection measures against this, and especially DRM measures. That kind of things never work, they're an inconvenience for the legitimate users, and the pirates wouldn't pay anyway.

I don't see any difference anyway, if it's the latest prerelease that got leaked, it's already almost version 1.2. The only thing missing according to proposed list of changes is actual statue functionality and a couple of icons. Also artifacts.

eh, it was worth a shot, IMHO... till I found out it's already been done.

"This prerelease is restricted to people who pledged at least $25 in the ADOM resurrection campaign.
Please be fair and don't distribute the software or the access information to other people!
Before posting an issue, please check the issue tracker. It might be new intentional behaviour.

Please note that this software is considered to be in alpha status."

A simple request. But, no. I know it doesn't affect us directly, but still disrespectful.

What? Rolf's quest, volcano quest, five community quests, several mini-levels with bosses and artifacts, achievement system, highscore server, Steam integration, autoexplore, graphical title screen... we're still a long way from the full 1.2.0 glory!

Fixed.
