Update – got it working. Installed and downloaded on my laptop, then moved the files to the gaming pc. Only way to get it working kitten
They wouldnt give me a refund. I bought it at Walmart and they wont take back opened software. SO… anyone thinking about buying this game…. buy it digitally or stay away from it all together. In the mean time, I am downloading on my laptop and see if I can transfer over the files to my gaming pc.
Well, it went well all night. Got to 48% and 10Gb. But it was froze this morning. So, forget what I said. It’s a POS.
Check out PC Format magazine. It’s a Brit mag but they drill down into everything. They actually give you info on building the best gaming machines every month, Budget, Mainstream and High-End; listing all the components needed (after their testing of course). I have it on my iPad thru Zinio. The last info they said is to go AMD as its not locked like the Intel stuff. The AMD is also cheaper and has more future upgrade paths. I think you can view one issue for free. Not sure. But it will tell you what to buy without the headaches.
Ok, support has tried everything. So…. question. Are you guys installing it on your C: or main drive? I have a SSD with windows installed, and a 2Tb drive for my software. I was trying to install it on my second drive. That obviously didn’t work so I went out on a limb and am installing on my SSD for now. It’s been downloading for the last 4 hours without freezing. I am at 25% or so. So far so good. B*stard game.
I hear ya. I am off work today so had time to deal with support. They are super quick with the replies, but I have went through probably 40 reboots/tries. So far they have everything disabled except Microsoft processes, but it still freezes. I can’t turn anything else off so its definitely lousy programming on the installer. The only other game that gave me grief was Battlefield 3. I wasn’t the only one having problems. They game me a refund. I tried it a month after the fact and it worked. So they patched the installer I am guessing. Hopefully these guys do the same thing quick.
I created a ticket with Support last night. They responded right away and are going thru my game advisor log. You should do the same. Maybe they will find something. I guess I should give them a chance.
Ehhh… I’m out. I aint going to mess with this – trying for 2 days now. I’m asking for my money back. I ain’t paying for this crap. I’ll buy something else.
Installed with the discs yesterday, but obviously there is a huge update that is replacing the whole install.
Anyways, installer freezes the whole machine at different times. I tried as admin, in xp mode, turned off av and firewall, have the latest video drivers. Still freezes machine and starts over the install at 238,000 files needing updating.
I have a Core 2 Quad with MSI 560ti, 8gb ram, 2TB hard drive, Windows 7 Pro.
Searched and searched for a solution. Lots of people with the same problem – but no fix.
Pretty pathetic. If they can’t get the installer working 100%, is this game going to be worth $60? So sad the stuff they release on windows machines.
