After getting melancholic for the lack of some Avadon loving I installed the demo as a final attempt to get something working. And it does. Which is immensely cruel of it!

I bought Avadon for PC from Gamersgate and am having trouble getting it working. Initially I got a runtime error on starting, as soon as I got past the setup menu. I've since updated my drivers and now I'm no longer getting the runtime error, instead it just sits on a black screen forever. I'm running XP with an ATI Radeon HD 4600. Thanks.

That sounds like a good plan, I'll give it a shot.

Unfortunately I've seen this scenario before. In every case it has ended in finger pointing from both sides claiming a failure on the other's part, with customers stuck in the middle with half a game. I have contacted Gamersgate but if they respond it would be the first time ever in a long line of unanswered e-mails. Also, isn't it ultimately Spiderweb's responsibility to give Gamersgate a patch or something? Surely they can't just do it themselves. (This isn't a sideways insult, I'm genuinely rather befuddled at the process) Cheers

After a little digging about it seems to be that the Gamersgate version uses a different format of registration key (letters and numbers) from the normal one (just numbers). Is there any way for me to update my game? Or do I have to wait on a Gamersgate specific update?

I have purchased the Gamersgate version of Geneforge 5 for Windows and was having trouble with it running rather slowly. After reading a bit I found out about the update and installed it (i.e. Downloaded the demo). The problem is, after I download the demo I can't type in the registration box, it will only allow numbers. I find this rather odd. The demo itself works fine, better than the un-updated version, which makes the fact that it doesn't work even more frustrating. As far as I can tell I'm not doing anything wrong. Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? Cheers (EDIT: Running Windows XP here)
