Insatller stuck

from Sins Forums
Hi all,

I have just bought and downloaded Sins via SDC but the installer is stuck on 8% Extracting: RESEARCHSUBJET_ALLEGIANECAP_INCREASE... and has been stuck for a good 30 minutes or so.

What has happened, what can I do about it?

Thanks,
technical

It could be corrupted you could try re-downloading it.

Also try installing in safe mode (if you are using Vista).

Ditto. Tried to install this game from SDC 4 times, freezes entire system at different points during extraction (Windows XP Pro)

Safe mode install from an archive should do it, like Blair said... I had the same problem.

Thanks folks,

Excuse my ignorance but how do you do a safe mode install? Do you mean Windows Safe Mode?

I am using XP Pro SP2.

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem. The installer hangs at 1% extraction on AbilityBattleMeditation.entity. How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

I managed to get this fixed by archiving the game and then restoring. What to do is in SDC right click on the game and select Archive. When it's done archiving right click again and Restore the archive.

I now have the game installed but it won't start. Uninstalled SDC and downloaded everything again twice now and it just won;t start.

What happens when I launch the game it plays the Stardock intro and then crashes at the Ironclad intro. Once it went through as far as the game intro but at the end it looped and then crashed. It's a total crash and I have to switch the PC off and on again.

I have updated all the drivers and switched off AV but nothing works.

I must say this is the ONLY game I have EVER had any issues with, in all the years I have been gaming, and it's a lot, not once have I had issues like this. What is happening Ironclad?

Thanks,
