Its a cool little game my problem is that if you race and unlock trackes or do the championships or if you change any options e.g. graphics sound etc and exit the game nothing is saved. according to the dev's site that issue was fixed in 1.0.1 and we have 1.0.2.
I have posted a message in their support forum.

By the way 3 things about that:
- You *must* click on "Apply" to apply the graphics options you selected.
- you must finsih a championship to save it's result. You can't play 2 maps, quit, restart and continue the championship.
- You must quit the game properly for everything to save properly for your next game session.

Tell me if anything here helps you.

Done all the Above.
however from what I can the the prefs_client and prefs_profile files ( the .cs not the dso's from what I can tell) are over written each time the game is started.

I understand that you guys are working on it, and that its not easy. I have offered to send my console.log file.
should I just post the contents to the frogames forum, or should I main it to someone.

I think its a really cool game. so dont take my whine the wrong way.

Hi

Ok just a heads up

I am not seeing any difference yet, although I have not had a chance to race a championship I have tried to change my display settings apply ok quit reopen he game and the display settings are back to default.

With 1.0.3 we now have racing options back, and can play different types of games, but the LAN issue is still the same. We've opened up the required ports (they were opened when we first tried) etc but no luck.

The Optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds, the Pessimist fears this is true.

Since finishing the third heist three days ago, I have tried to register MiniOne Racer several times and each time I have received the following message, "Sorry, we're experiencing difficulties, please try again." I connect to the internet using a network proxy, most apps (both Apple and independent shareware/freeware)) have no problem with this; they happily connect to the internet to register, to check for updates, to download updates, etc. Most, does not include Amazon MP3 Downloader, I assume that it uses some strange port or is unable to accept the proxy that other apps happily accept (this is not an area that I have any expertise in), and I fear MiniOne Race is having similar problems.

My take--I get motion sickness big time when the perspective is first person.

The serial number that I received yesterday says it is invalid. I went back into my account, and copy/pasted straight from this website, and it still says the same thing. It's not too big of a deal, but it looks like a fun game.

Hi doctorcaligari, make sure:
- You copied the MiniOne Racing folder in your hard drive
- That you're connected to internet to register your game
- Do not copy/past the serial: you may have copied a space character.
- Every character in you serial is important, case too.

I'm not 100% certain yet but I think they send new serial numbers on request if you can proof that you are a legitimate MacHeist "customer". I just asked what to do.

MiniOne Racer serial number has been disabled.

I just went over to the forums at Frogames, and posted in their tech help section about not being able to reinstall my MiniOne Racer onto a new computer because of an invalid serial number. I received this message back from them in an email...


Hello,

I'm Christophe CANON from Frogames.
The Macheist license key has been disabled because we found it on many public forums all over the world.
If you're interested in buying a regular license of MiniOne Racing use the following coupon code to get a 50% discount :
...


It is a shame that a nice deal like free software through MacHeist has to be ruined by a few juvenile idiots who post these serial numbers for other software pirates.

I appreciate Frogames giving the program away for free... but I'm not going to buy their program (even at a discount) when they could ask for a screen shot of my macheist receipt to prove I had a legit license to begin with.

This was my reply to the forum at Frogames...

So I must pay for the sins of some others, and will be denied a new license for free ?

Sadness.

I will not be singing the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy song.

sad

BTW... this should have been reported on the macheist discussion forums. That was the first place I went to trouble shoot, when my license didn't work. MOST of the folks who buy those bundles take the time to actually trade and register there licenses according to software developers wishes. I know you gave away the original license for free, and I know some dumb ass ruined it for the rest of the macheist crowd by posting the serial number. It sucks for you, but it also sucks for me that I have to buy a new license, even if I got the first one for free. If it sounds like I'm looking a dead gift horse in the mouth... well... I kind of am.

I'm not so mad at Frogames... as I am mad with the dumb ass (or dumb asses) who ruined it for the rest of us, by posting that original serial number.

I think that the serial in question was given to everyone. Your serial is the same as mine is the same as the other thousands of people here.

Why they act like they didn't see this coming however is beyond me. Others have done a one-serial-for-everyone deal in the past and haven't pulled this bait-and-switch crap. iPulse comes to mind (season one loot), and the serial to that one is still working.

I'm sure if you take a large group of people there will be statistics to show a percentage of 'baddies'. They must have known that someone would share a serial, sounds like them trying to make a little more money to me.

It's a cute game but not a 'leftfordead2' epic. You can play similar games online at any flash game site.

It is more than easy enough to prove I and everyone else paid for the HacHeist this was loot for. So all they did was guarentee that I would never purchase any product from Frogames. Since their fix to this problem was to offer me a 50% off coupon instead of replacing the serial number all they did was show their complete lack of consideration for legitimate customers.

Since there are plenty of small mac game developers who do care about their customers I won't have any problem finding what I want elsewhere.
