Company of Heroes
This game has to be the game I have spent the most time installing in my life.
First it took an age to install.
Then I had to patch it with several patches (no single download)
The final patch was 1.7 Gb and worked on the 5th download (a 3rd download by my brother which I got from him via USB key)
Each time the 1.7gb patch failed it meant reinstalling as the patcher removed the game files when it failed.
So then I like the game so much I buy the expansion.
Now I'm trying to get that patch without failing.
I know I'm not sitting infront of the pc watching the bar crawl across the screen each time but the time spent must be the equivalent of about 4 or 5 windows installs.
I'm starting to suspect the problem must be the patching process being sensitive to an old hard disk. I might order a new HD this week to test that.
The game is fantastic though. I just wish I could play it! (patched up and online that is)
