Advertising Craplet

[Denali]

Why am I getting an advertising craplet everytime I start BG? It's called "Rainway".

9.4.9 is almost a year old now, so you just went back to a version that crashed more. 9.5.4 is the current stable and no, it isn't "trying to connect to an ad server". What does that even mean?

It was never at risk.

But you cannot expect people who use their brain when using a PC (I know, that's generally not common), to blindly take that as given when a large ad with no obvious source opens on their Desktop (that gives not even a way to close it) at boot.

People with a brain open Task Manager and check what program is running the add before reformating there pc. Just saying.

When the ad first popped up, i ran a few anti-virus scans because of how sketchy it looked and how sudden it was. Can you just... remove this ad in a paid product? Just advertise the program in the news section like everyone else.

What the actual ♥♥♥♥?!? Popup ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on bootup from a paid app? Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me?

Uninstalling and leaving a bad review, what a BS move dev, you should be ashamed.

Sorry you feel that way, it is actually just a dialog you can dismiss forever and is only there to make you aware of a new piece of cool software WE made. Unfortunately we aren't sure why you're lying about "adware" since it does not download anything and just lets you open a website before continuing onto the program.

I feel the same way, I pay to NOT have ads, even if its from the same dev.. how do I get rid of this ad, do i need to roll back and stay at an old version (ive had to do this before many times, winamp, uTorrent and many other programs started this crap)

Also, i dont know how to dismiss it, i clicked it and it brings up a webpage (that i have scripts blocked on because of crap like this where an app can send you to a loaded webpage) So if clicking on it doesnt remove it, i cant find out how. My guess is you have a browser to app ad BS going on that it """removes itself""" if it sees you hit the website. but in reality its still in the program.

Ill actually take a half hour to find an older build and roll back than to have to force feed myself an ad just to continue.

Actually, am I a donator? coulda sworn i paid for it, the donation thing is 10$, maybe it was something else? if i didnt previously i guess retract what i said. Maybe its sharex im thinking about

reverse reverse that, apparently there is no free version on steam, its 4$, and THEN there is also a 10$ donation, so yeah i DID pay for it i guess... so confusing. If everyone on steam is paying for it, then thats doubly crappy to have ads.
