Getting Stranger Wrath HD Update w/ Amazon version

[Rxanadu]

I just got Stranger's Wrath from an Amazon sale, and I was wondering if there is a way to get the HD update without using Steam or GOG.  Currently, I am unable to run the game at all; I'm assuming this is due to the poor job Just Add Water did with the original port from Xbox to PC. However, with the constant talk about an HD update for the game, I wanted to give it another chance before talking to Amazon demanding a refund.

Amazon doesn't support updates? I'm shocked.

 

I'd suggest contacting JAW to ask: http://www.jawltd.com/contact-us/

Alternatively, you could sign up for the Oddworld Forums, as one of the admins there is the fan relations guy at JAW and he's always happy to answer questions.

 

 

EDIT: Are you sure you don't already have the HD version? Surely if you just bought it, it would be the most recent version.

I was chatting with Wil from JAW today and passed on your question. He says that they've told Amazon not to sell the old version of SW and instead sell the HD version, but for some reason they haven't made the change. If you bought it after the HD version was released, you've got a pretty good case for contacting Amazon and demanding a refund. If you bought it before then, you may be out of luck in that regard.

 

If you can't get a refund from Amazon, he says you should contact him via their website and he'll try to organise an HD copy for you.
