Did anyone getting the disc receive the product key with the disc? I live in an apt building and I think the initial shipment was stolen. I followed up with Digital River 7 days after I got the shipment notification and about 3 days later I got the disc but I am concerned that the product key has already been compromised due to the lost initial shipment. Also I only got the 32 bit disc and from what I have read on boards most got 32 and 64 bit discs. Any info would be appreciated.

The key on your 32bit disc should still work fine. You just needed the install media. When I hosted my house party I got both 32 and 64bi in one sleeve with one key which I used to install 64bit on my laptop. When I went to the New Efficiency I got a sleeve with just 32bit and a key but I could still use the 64bit install media I had laying around to install it. Just had to use the new key for the second install.

Sending politely worded email with big puppy dog "But it doesn't work right on my 8Gb Phenom II" eyes now. Thanks!
As of now, no signs of a response. I'm hoping they'll just send me a disc with no notification to my office, but I have this feeling at some point, I'll have to find the cheapest Windows 7/64 disc I can find.

I got a reply a few days after I sent in my email, and then I got my 64-bit disc this last Wednesday (11/18).

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
