when i installed a game my game manager for big fish looks different.

Periodically, BF updates their game manager. But this time, there is quite a change in the look of it. Not sure what I think yet. It's quite a bit larger than normal.

i notice it when i was installing some games,

Decided to do trial of The Lost City: Chpt 1 and the new Manager installed with it...not too well impressed with this new one. For Goodness Sake--keep it Simple! don't need all the stuff on the left side..get that info from the game site...One thing I wish BF would do is let us move games we've played to a new area (remove from main games we have list) and also instead of sending all those 'trial' cd's when we order a game backup cd give us the option to NOT get that extra trial cd. would probably save them a lot of $$'s. I don't need a rehash of info that is already on the site! Hope there are no glitches with this new Manager. Use mobile usb connection (not so fast to begin with) and allowed 5G a month--so if I have to re-download anything that's taken out of my Gig allowance! Usually if I am really interested in a CE of a game I order the backup so don't have to use the download time.

It's a bit large and "in your face" but I guess we will get used to it eventually!

Large is right. <g> Your very own BFG browser that goes nowhere but BFG.

I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet, but one thing I have found so far is that if I want to bring up a wt from the blog area it's more confusing than it used to be. Maybe I haven't looked at it thoroughly or not, I didn't care for the new way. I'm all for simple, not filling the whole screen with my games. The other way was much more compact.

You can resize the new game manager to make it a little smaller, but even after doing that it's still quite large.

I happen to like it alot....Everything is at your touch on the left side...

I feel its very organized..You will get used to it...

"Out With Old" On With The New........

Well, it's a little too organized for someone who never keeps a BFG game once she's played it.

And just a little whine? I wish they'd stop putting a 'more games' icon on my desktop! Sure I could say something but I seriously doubt they'll pay attention.

Gil.

I delete all icons from my desktop. I have one folder I tuck a few in and the rest get deleted.

I love icons. They row up and down the sides of my desktop, fast links to the most important things I have on my computer, games and graphics programs and whatnot. I just don't like their icon and I get darned tired of deleting it every time I dl anything from BFG. I could change it, I suppose, to one of the popo_emotions blacy's such as bad egg. <g> There's a thought.

I just downloaded the new tool bar. Anyone know if it will work with IE 9?

According to a post by a moderator on the Big Fish forums yesterday:



Sounds like it should work with IE 9 now.

Wish I could get it, am still having awful trouble with BF, cannot download any games or the new Game Manager, am waiting to hear from them,
have had browser problems and have not played games for nearly a week :-(((

That's awful, widget. I hope things get sorted very soon.

Well, at this point, I really don't care what the game manager looks like. I have noticed that my games are downloading much faster than they were and that's what matters to me!

That's great, Sherlock. I haven't noticed my games downloading faster but I also haven't noticed any slowdown, so it's all good for me.

Well, I don't like the new game manager!
Have been playing my games just fine all afternoon till I downloaded a new game. Now, none of my game will play becuase the new game manager says there is a game already running, but there isn't.
I checked at BF for the error 809, it says to close all programs, reboot and try again. Which I've done 3 times. Still no game starts to play. Has anyone else had this problem? And, how can I get my old game manager back?
Thanks,

Update:
I uninstalled then reinstalled the game manager. Now I'm able to play my games. Seems my virus software didn't allow the install correctly. Also, think I have to agree with others ideas about the new look. One thing that is bugging me, is the recommendations list which is annoying.

Whew! I'm glad you are able to play your games again.

I don't like to be negative, but the new game manager may keep me from buying as many games from Big Fish as I have to install them in a secondary hard drive and had the manager in that drive too until this one installed. It allows me to chose where to install games but I have to redo that choice each time I open the manager. It is also too big and my downloads were really slow (I have a really fast internet connection) and the old manager was much faster.
I hope they revisit this new manager and give us the option of returning to the old or fix this new one.
End of rant _ sorry

Got my Game Manager back [had browser problems]
and it is not the 'new' one,

I'm not thrilled either with the new game manager. But I imagine it's a matter of getting used to it. When you get used to doing something a certain way, it becomes automatic. Changes make you have to stop and think a bit. Probably good practice for those of us who are "of a certain age".

Agree with you all, new game manger is way to cumbersome. I don't use it to open my games, only use the game icon on my desktop.

Alert Note: XPTotal Security

Yesterday I downloaded Midnight Mysteries 3 and along with it the new game manager which was automatic. My virus software alerted me that a virus/spyware called "SPTotal Security" was detected and did I want to remove it which I did. After that the new game manager wouldn't play any of my games. I did a lot of trouble shooting by uninstalling the new game manager, reinstalling the game manger (this time with the virus software turned off). Then tried playing my games and it worked. However, when I opened my virus software it still detected the "SPTotal Security" virus/spyware which I removed.

Consequently, Midnight Mysteries 3 would not open so I can't play it. I've unstalled it and sent an email to BF telling them of this issue. I'm hoping to get a refund for this game.

Has anyone else had that problem with Midnight Mysteries 3 and/or the XPTotal Security being detected at BF while downloading games?

Hopes this info helps anyone else.

I downloaded Midnight Mysteries 3 ,and played it.... Had no problems with a spyware detection from my virus program...I even did a full virus scan <Nothing>
