The game runs fine, as far as I can tell after 10 minutes, but I did have some issues with the installation.

1. It wanted to install the game to C:\\Progra~1\\DROD. Why is it using DOS-style naming? It made me reluctant to try to install to a folder that didn't have an 8.3 name.

2. Even though I didn't install DROD over my old version, in the Start Menu, it has replaced my shortcuts with ones pointing to Build 17. I would rather this not be the case, considering that this is usually how I start the game and I would rather it be set to a permanent location instead of one that may change every few days.

That's all for that subject for now..

Game on,
