Perfect World installation

Cyndaine · Post by **Cyndaine** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 3:06 am

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

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

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. :wink:

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.

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.

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

[AoW]ForLife · Post by **[AoW]ForLife** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:07 pm

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

Vandall · Post by **Vandall** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:08 pm

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