Billy Cook Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I can't think of a worse game installation than this. Never before have I found it so needlessly difficult to get a game installed. I'm sure when I get the thing playing (finally) it will be great but this is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vane Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 To be honest MMOGs on launch tend to be the worst installs. You have to set up an account, install the game, download patch(es) then log into the game...at the same time thousands of others are trying to exactly do the same. So much can and does go wrong!

Perryqhill Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Finally got it done, after activation code errors and then trying to connect to the server and it not working, then asking for the activation code again. So yes, by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_Beattie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Not to jump on the hate band-wagon but yeah I can't say I've ever had this much hassle trying to install a game. Got it working after having to wait 4 hours for a DLL Update to download not to mention my Product Key had about 8 0's or O's which took me ages to decipher in order to activate (this was before the helpful link was as well known about) and all of this on top of the fact that using Steam is just a downright nuisance.

SmurfDude Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 If they made sure the servers could deal with the volume of customers using it then I'd be more than happy with the activation stuff It'll be ok after the weekend once the traffic has died down and most people have authenticated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slrooke Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 ive not had any problems, using steam, installed first time activated no problem, half a sleep when i installed it but i think i used the activation option from one of the menus instead of opening the game directly. this may be away round some of the problems people are experiencing.
