Can you mix Digital Download and DVD play?
« on: May 19, 2011, 03:13:08 AM »
This may sound like a silly question, but I am getting a present in the form of WA and Late Night to get me caught up with expansions before Generations is released (woot woot), I have the base game and Ambitions in disc version, can I now download the digital versions or must I carry on buying the actual discs?

Many thanks in advance

I think you can mix them with no problem.

Thank you for such a swift reply.

I thought it would be ok but the voice of the paranoid ninja in the back of my head was telling me to double check first.

Thank you once again :)

There is no problem to mix them, I have the base game disc and Ambitions as a digital download :) One bonus: if your latest EP is digital download, you don't have to use your disc anymore to play the game  ;D

Tell me please if you find any mistake in my post. English is not my mother language. It's "only" the third one in frequency of utilisation. I'm "half-French".

I use DVD-rom and digital on one of my laptops.  In case you didn't know, if you use the digital download you have to have internet.  I tried to play on my laptop once where I had no internet and it would not let me start the game since it could not authenticate my game.  I don't know if that has been changed or not.  I always make sure i am connected before I play.

Really?  You couldn't launch the game at all unless you were connected to the internet?

I take that back, I just went and tried it and it worked fine.  I rarely play on that computer anymore.  But 2 stuff packs ago, it would not let me play my game if I wasn't connected.  Thanks for questioning me, now I don't have to make sure I am connected all the time.  :)
