Hi Charles, Yeah, I have struggled with the right answer to the torches for a while now. I am personally in agreement with you if you remain in a room too long one should burn out and the other will light after it. However, enough people have complained about it that changing the behavior of the torches seams necessary. As for saving a game immediately at the beginning of a level is secure enough from cheating, but under Windows vista if you are not running as admin the game will crash. That is a rather serious bug, and one I'd hate to have to answer to when someone comes banging on my email door asking why does the game crash everytime a level starts. Then, saying "See, well, you have to install the game locally to play it because Vista is security conscious and I haven't solved the issue of saving games locally without compromising Vista's security." Btw, I mentioned Vista here, but XP SP2 will do this as well if you are using a standard user account. I'm not happy about forcing a user to run the game as administrator though I think most customers do this anyway because they aren't as security conscious as some of us who have delt with hacking on a first hand level, and know some of the secrets in compromising a system.
