I bought the game during alpha when it was 13.25$ USD. I'm quite happy with it at that price, but now that it's up to ~21.00 USD I can't say I'd purchase it again.
I am constantly nagged with 'This is an unlicensed copy :( or logged in from a different location'; neither nor or true, I've got documentation.
Keys stick all the time.
It's gotten slower in the past updates.
I bought the game because a) works in linux(my only battle station), b) ran fine at lower specs. Now I can't see dumping that much into it. If more work was done to make the game more adaptable/stable/patching exploits(remote code execution) than adding achievements/characters/ect I might reconsider... but I'm glad I got it when it was cheap.
- Pinckney 15y agoKeys stick all the time. This is usually fixed by updating LWJGL to the latest version. See http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL (Not that this justifies the bug in stock configuration).
- ugh 15y agoI think it’s kinda important to clarify that your issues are not at all common. Your experience is not the typical experience. There is something wrong somewhere with your copy of Minecraft. (Have you tried deleting it completely and re-installing it?)
- woodall 15y agoI'm on my third copy. Might mention I'm using Ubuntu with the newest Java update as well. Nothing against them game, it's awesome, but the bugs bug me.
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoI use minecraft on a ubuntu 10.04, with java version 1.6.0_25, and I don't have any such problem. Unless I use bad password or my connection gets into trouble. Then I can use the offline version, which outputs this message.
- woodall 15y agoGuilty until proven innocent. I'd rather them not output this message at all. It's a bit discouraging as a paying customer to see this as I usually only play the game offline; due to my incredible slow Internet speed. It's one of the better "DRM"s, but could use work.
- RyanMcGreal 15y agoMy son plays it on my (admittedly underpowered) PC running Ubuntu 10.10, and it's rather crash-prone. I suspect it might be due to an issue with the graphics driver.
- nextparadigms 15y agoThey DRM'ed the game? I thought they didn't mind piracy.
- trobertson 15y agoLast I heard, that "you're a pirate :(" message was the entirety of the DRM. It will still let you play the game.
- curiousposter 15y agoI won't buy it unless perhaps performance increases. I tried it with the humble indie bundle and on both my computers with okay specs it was extremely laggy and noticeably slow. (i5 i5 m480 and an older e6300 oc'd) For a 16 bit game I just find it sad that it performs so badly. Tried in linux and windows on both machines (with 4gb ram each) and both did indeed experience the sticky keys.
