The one off download.com (via Gamespot) is fucked. I d/led it with
Opera
&
it ended up blowing out to 591Mb (something wrong with the file sized
or
trailer on the server I'm tippin). So I used GetRight last night, same
result. Well done download.com - in the same bucket as FucktardPlanet
you
go!

Anyone know of *any* direct d/ls that aren't corrupt for this yet?
*sigh*

I got it on Bittorrent from 3dgamers.

Tx dude - that'll be my next stop ;)


Same source gave me a good uncorrupted file. You could also try
Filerush.com

You know what it was in the end? You'll laugh...when you run the .exe,
even
on my fairly upper mid-range system, it grinds & grinds & grinds for well
over a minute (up to 3?), before it actually kicks off the Installshield.
It
may have something to do with the fact I only have ~10Gb of disk space
left
on both of my 160Gb SATA drives *blush*...still, it's a pathetic attempt
at
packaging imo, that gives no feedback of any kind (other than an busy
hourglass & locked up explorer shell ffs!); I can only imagine how long it
takes to get anywhere on lower spec'd systems :-/. Another strike for
Time***...one more & yer definitely out for good! >;-)

I think you might have some other issue. I just ran the install and after
double-clicking the .exe, there was about a _two second_ pause then
installshield started. Maybe not enough RAM to put the whole .exe into
memory and it was loading through your pagefile? Or, maybe not, I'm just
guessing what it might be. One thing is for sure: I agree with Shawk about
the game. I lasted probably 6 minutes... This is definitely not a keeper.
