I just purchased WG3 today after trialing it for a while and I'm wondering if WG is like other DCS software. With TDS-3 & Process Guard licenses I'm entitled to upgrades to the next versions of the software. Is WG like that? I assume it is but I guess I want to see it in text. Thanks
Hi se7engreen, Yes, As a licenced user you are now entitled to a free upgrade to WormGuard V4 when it is released, though there is no release date specified as yet but WG4 is in development. HTH Pilli
As far as Im aware TDS have been planning an upgrade for 2 years...... any idea when it will turn up?
thats my point - DCS have ben saying an update is planned for two years now - Im willing to bet no upgrade will come for at least another year - if ever
i say 4 months from when they fix the bugs out of pg-3 worm guard is a simple program the v 4 wil hav a few extras but not much so personaly i dont think your missing much its tds 4 that will be the mother load to all updates
I agree with ChrisP, WG 4 will never be released and is probably vaporware. I have waited for two years or maybe more now as well and frankly I have given up on DCS. I will not use WG 3 on my system because it breaks too many things. I know about the workarounds and various hacks to make it work and DCS says its more of a fault with Windoze etc etc. But to me everything works fine unitl I install WG then things break and I will not make changes to my system to run a flawed program. As for TDS 4, again vaporware, they have moved on to Process Guard and abandoned everything else I believe. I will not buy Process Guard because I feel it is only a matter of time before they move on to something else and abandon it and its users just as they have on the upgrades for TDS 3 and WG 3.
JPM, You are dead wrong, TDS4 and WormGuard4 are in development - At least one version of TDS4 will be released this year. Process Guard was developed because there was not a product out there that could protect users from some of the latest threats, rootkits imparticular, Process Guard does and, as far as I know, no other does. This thread will be closed in soon as it is now going too far off topic Pilli
I installed WormGuard myself on an XP home system and none of the problems. I did check especially for the Windows Help before and after installing anything and WormGuard especially and no difference there. Maybe because i did close all other programs carefully and rebooted after install and after putting in my keyfile. the reboot is very important!
