just a quick question: approximately how long does it take to install this huuuuge game? i have 484 MB right now, but 2.21 GB is like 2k MB, wouldn't that take over 20 hrs to install?

thanks in advance

Yea it takes a long time it took me about a whole day I just left it over night but hey might aswell d/l it and have it ready cus the wipe is soon and every1 will have to start a new char.

whens the wipe? i hope its soon so i dont have to wait to start my real char

Hm.... took quite a while. I'd recommend going afk for an hour or two.

The 18th if I'm not mistaken

thats still a week oh well guess i'll create an experimental char
and i'm gonna leave it overnight, but i'm worried whether it will go weird once my comp. goes to sleep

Are you using a torrent ? well either way I doubt it will it went quite smoothly for me.

no, ahhh i dont want it to get all messed up
well i hope it goes smoothly even without the torrent

it took me bout 1 day, left it over night
it didnt get screwed up, so i think your safe

alrighty yay i cant wait to play
the character customization looks great

Took me way less than a day without torrent, but with torrent I hear it takes forever. I did it from the 2nd option, File Front or shack I think it was o_O. Char customization is great . The game-play, though... well it's alright I guess.

Yeah! Hehe I took a long break from SRO and SRF, and I'm kinda glad. Not addicted at all anymore. Well, at least I like to think not.
During my break though, I forgot IguanaRampage's password, and the secret question for my recovery e-mail.

I used a torrent and it took me under a day

Got the Filefront download, took me less than 2 hours.
Installing it took about 15 minutes.

noooo

I'm sure its prolly different for vista than it is for xp. which d/l did you try the first time anyways?

the 10 file RAR self extract fr. file front

and how can u tell if its doing it automatically?

think he means after he d/l and started the install the game

Vandall wrote:think he means after he d/l and started the install the game

oh... well right now i just finished one file and guess what it said? windows cannot open this file

WTF

Vandall wrote:think he means after he d/l and started the install the game

Yeah after i downloaded all parts and clicked the .exe to start installing. I didn't try to open any file before downloading all of them.
Keep in mind though this was like... two days after CB started, when I was one of the first to dl from FileFront (most people having done it from Torrent, when that was the only option, but it was too slow for me), so things may have changed as in the process you go through.

if I were you I would just blame it on vista and try a torrent or something

Doesn't the error tell you something -- you should stop playing games like you said you would

You can tell if it's doing automatically because when you install it says "Extracting from .rar part 1" or something like that, then it finishes and says part 2 instead.

lol, mayb i should...the character customisation is mainly what made me want to play it neways

but i'll give it one more try and if it still doesnt work then i wont play:P

are you sure you did it correctly, maybe you not supposed to open any files until all the .rars are done
