I have to put up with the CD-version, because having it in stores acts as our only form of advertising. During the good times, about 75% of our online business came from people who had seen it in stores.

Regarding the seams in the gravel-front - I've tried just about everything I can think of, but the measures tasken to fix it on one computer will make it worse on another. The gravelfront has to have seams, because there's no such thing as a texture that's 4000 pixels wide. There used to be a 256-pixel limit, and now a typical texture is 512 pixels. Whether the seams are visible or not depends on the drivers. Ideally, when it comes to the end of one texture, it would just start with the first pixel of the next texture, but some systems try to be too clever for their own good. They try to anti-alias the edge into the background before starting the next texture.
