[ChrisReid]

Last week's leak about the Origin Humble Bundle has been officially announced! The baseline bundle with Dragon Age, Peggle, Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor and C&C Generals is available at any price, but gamers who pay more than the average unlock eight additional titles, including Wing Commander 3&4, Sim City 2000 and Ultima 7. The average is currently just $4.93. Then your entire purchase price goes to charity! Grab the bundle here.

We are seven days into the Humble Origin Bundle 2, and are already blown away by the amazing generosity from the gaming community all over the Globe. So far, gamers have picked up 395,000 bundles, and raised $1.9 million for charity! You're all amazing, and together we're well on our way to raising a ton of money for Girls Who Code, The V-Foundation, and buildOn.

As amazing as the first week has been, wea??re not done yet. Ita??s time to sweeten the deal: As of today, wea??ve added four more games to the Humble Origin Bundle 2, bringing the bundle up to 13 awesome games! To see the full bundle (and to get one for yourself!), head on over to humblebundle.com.

I'm so looking forward to playing WC4, but the Origin download has the same issue as described in the forums for the GOG download "VirtualProtect () failed" and fixes/patches are not working. Any good info from the long timers here on fixes would be appreciated. Tried the following:

- Comparability in XP mode

- Comparability in 95 mode with limited colors

- Re-installing codecs

- Using the "WC4DVD" fix that's previously been linked. The fix states WC4DVD is the wrong size and refuses to run

- The game has a small 672 byte update that refuses to download

Which version of windows are you using? Win8? the virtual protect error normally is fixed by selecting win95/98 compatability mode on wc4dvd.exe

If you try a fresh install, and trying those compatability modes doesn't work then apply this patch to your install: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/bin/WC4DVDFix.zip
