Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

This page should contain frequently asked questions about games, problems and similar. The page will be updated with time, so please check it out before posting the questions.

Q: What are all those small images up there?
A: You can link to this site's pages if you wish, those are social book-markings links.

Q: I'm the user without privileges, can I play the game?
A: Yes. After administrator has run the downloaded file and the game has been installed, any user can play it. You can compete with each other for a local top hiscore and then connect to the Internet and post the #1 place from your local hiscore to the global online hiscore to see if its the best score ever and earn rewards that are described on that page.

Q: I just see the game window border or the game just stopped working without even starting.
A: The Windows, either XP, Vista or Win7 don't come with OpenGL drivers for your graphic card. It is you who must go to your graphic card manufacturer's site and download latest graphic drivers. Usually, OpenGL drivers are bundled with the rest of the drivers in the same installation file, but sometimes they're separated from the rest of the drivers for some old cards, so if you're not sure what to download and install, contact their support.

Q: The game is running too slow.
A: You must install the latest drivers for your graphic card and if that does not fix the issue, you must ask their support where to find and install latest OpenGL drivers if they come as a separate install. Also, and this is very important, you should close all the programs executing in the background or occupying memory. Invader Attack, for example, is using only 50M of RAM (your pc computer memory), but it may not run properly if you're running something in the background or you forgot to close something. This depends highly on your configurations and Windows version installed, but it is highly recommended to close all other programs before running the game.

Q: The game is not running properly or the game is not running at all.
A: If the game is not running you can check few things to make sure its not the hardware. Your system must meet the minimum system requirements. The requirements are very low, but some gamers make mistakes by leaving other software to run in the background. Eg. if you watched the movie and forgot to quit the player, there is a good chance its taking up resources needed by the game and results can be unpredictable, but mostly the game will just quit running. You should quit all the software that is taking up memory, using graphic card and sound card resources. This also ensures the maximum performance of the game.

Q: I want to purchase the game. Do I need to click the "buy" button on the site?
A: That is the one way and it requires you to type the serial number manually. The other, more user-friendly way, is to purchase the game by clicking the "purchase" menu option in the main menu of the game and follow simple instructions. In this case you don't need to enter the serial. In both cases you must end up on the 2Checkout's secure payment page. 2Checkout is an authorized reseller of games provided by CoderGames. CoderGames has nothing to do with the payments.

Q: Should I provide game serial when using contact form?
A: Yes. Game serial number is an important piece of information and the tech support will only be provided to those who have a valid serial number, unless you open a ticket with the same email you used to purchase the game. If you have other questions, you don't need to provide the serial.

Q: Do I have to pay through 2Checkout?
A: You must pay through 2Checkout, its an authorized reseller of games provided by CoderGames. They have a PayPal option. However, if you pay through PayPal, you'll wait longer and the fee will be much higher.

Q: I have problems with the payment or I'm not able to pay, what should I do?
A: If you're not able to pay using your credit card or other method available, you must contact reseller's customer support. 2Checkout is an authorized reseller of games provided by CoderGames. But if the buy button or purchase button within the game are not working, then you should report this by using contact form.

Q: I paid, but I'm getting an error when I press "verify payment", from within the game.
A: 2Checkout is an authorized reseller of the games from CoderGames. You should give it some time. They may call you to check if everything went ok. If something went wrong, and the automated part failed (in case of CoderGames's website being down or some changes were made to the website code which prevented the automated part to execute, I can always set it manually. In that case, you should immediately report this by using contact form, just in case I haven't noticed it. I'm able to correct it within 24h (much less, usually). I'm an independent game developer and your good word about CoderGames.com is of the utmost importance to me and will ensure that I continue to develop cheap, but quality games.

Q: I downloaded the games demos from some other site and now I see there is a new version of the game, what should I do.
A: The games are also available for the download and purchase on some shareware and download sites and some of those sites won't have the latest versions available immediately after they are released. Each game will automatically check if there is a new version available. This will happen only if you're connected to the Internet and it will happen while the game is loading. The Windows built-in firewall is in accordance with the game's secure remote connections, but if you have some 3rd party software installed and it does not issue just a warning, but is blocking the connection instead, that may be the reason why you weren't notified. In that case you must contact the developers of those 3rd party softwares and ask them how to allow the connection between your installed game and remote CoderGames.com server explicitly.

Q: I'm not able to post the hiscore.
A: Only latest games versions postings will be accepted by the server and only the highest score can be posted on the Internet and only once. You can't post again until you've beaten your local highest score. This is to make sure that everyone have an equal chance to appear on the online hiscore, otherwise the highest scorer would keep re-posting the same score over and over again, pushing down all the other scorers and that wouldn't be fair.

Q: I posted the hiscore, but can't find it.
A: Only the latest version game hiscores are accepted. If you're using older version, you should update it to the latest.

Q: Bloxidy did NOT crash, but it just hangs after the installation of 2.0 version.
A: Solved in 2.1.1, just download this or later version, if there is one, reinstall and everything will be fine. No need to uninstall or do anything else. Sorry!
