I went and bought Lost Souls from The Adventure Shop during the Halloween sale. Unfortunately this version of the program uses the TAGES copy protection system. TAGES doesn't work on my setup, so as a result I can't run the game. Sigh.

From what I can tell, the original (boxed) game didn't use TAGES. So is this something that The Adventure Shop added? Does anyone know? Is this added to all of their games? Is this a problem with other online stores as well?

Tages is the Activation system in the download version (do you not have access to the internet?)

What?

My problem is that I don't have an actual Windows machine. I run Linux, and in order to play a Windows game I use wine (a Windows emulation program). Unfortunately TAGES depends on a Windows subsystem that hasn't been added to wine, and it sounds like it will be some time before it gets added, being non-trivial.

Yeah, I'm familiar with wine - sounds like you're not going to be able to play any downloadable game that uses Tages.

Activation blows chunks IMHO

What?

Yeah, sounds like it's back to boxed games for me.
