Default 3DMark Vantage Hotfix! (Build 1.0.1)

3DMarkŪ Vantage Hotfix (Build 1.0.1) download.

Updates:
Off-line score viewing is now available in the Advanced Edition.
Score save / submit saved options are now available in the Advanced Edition.
Ad banners have been removed from all editions.
Added a "SEND ERROR" button to error messages; clicking this will send detailed error information to Futuremark for better bug tracking and fixing. No personally identifiable information will be sent or stored.

Fixes:
An issue preventing valid serial key entry in some cases has been fixed.
An issue causing "boost::filesystem::create_directory" error message after registration has been fixed.
Added a check and error message for hardware that is not DX10 capable.
Improved detection of supported resolutions so that CPU test minimum requirement (1280x1024) is now taken into account correctly.
Fixed an issue where pressing the ESC key during CPU test loading screen, the user would be taken to a score view with score -1.
The entire 3DMark Vantage application is now elevated to Administrator rights, rather than only the SystemInfo component. This will ensure more robust SystemInfo and benchmark functionality, and fixes the "pop-behind" elevation dialog.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused "WM_QUIT" error messages.
Post-processing scale is now displayed correctly in the UI for the Extreme Preset.
Fixed an issue that could cause resolution switches at test runtime.

I maybe be perceived as biased, but....show me another software company that is as responsive to community feedback and I will give you an e-cookie.

Its not so much the fact that the fix was released so quickly, without a doubt it was.
Its more the fact that the product was released with those errors in it in the first place and HAD to be patched so quickly due to public outcry.
Small fixes, understandable, but there were some pretty major bugs that were evident from first launch.

I support Vantage as the program of the future in system benchmarking and it looks something purty, I was just a little dissapointed that it was so obviously hurried to market.
