Default Lightwave 8 in UK?

Has anybody in the UK received Lightwave 8 from Newtek Europe yet? Am I the only one that hasn't got it yet, or is everybody still waiting?

As far as I'm aware, the last batches of LW8 are due to be shipping in the next couple of weeks...

That's not cool. I've not had any problems with it so far. Did you perform an upgrade of 7.5? If so, it might be your configs were screwy - maybe try deleting them and letting LW recreate them...

Nah - didn't upgrade, just installed to new folder. I might try updating graphics card drivers - that's usually the first port of call for this kind of thing. Hope the rest of you guys get yours soon!

Just got mine as well. Newtek Europe seem to be on the ball here - a proper 4 CD case. Perfect condition disks as well!

Postman Pat's rounds have extended as far as Norway now? Mrs Goggins must be going bonkers trying to sort out all the mail for that one!
