Deus ex disk version installation problems

[Jay85]

So today I bought the game and eagerly waiting for months now only to be hit by installation problems! I have the pc version and it's on disc but still needs steam to install. However when I go to install it, everything goes well up until the point where it actually starts to install the game.

First of it installs stupidly slowly! I'm talking 1 hour and 45 mins to install the game from disc? That can't be right surely?!

Secondly it will freeze after awhile and ask for disc one again :? But there's only one disc?!


My only two hypothesis is either a dodgy disc or my cd/DVD combo drive is bust! I did notice Aswel when I put my disc in sometimes it would screech or give a scratching sound.. no damage to disc though thank god!

That's what I've opted to doing, I managed to install it half way before it crashed but steam saved those files so it's Downloading the rest now. Hopefully this will work!

Tried cleaning the disc? I find that sometimes a brand new game disk will fail to read, almost as if there's some residue or something left on from the manufacturing process. Use a soft lint-free cloth and plain water, and wipe from centre to edge.

Ill try that too and see if it helps at all. I've ordered a new optical drive Aswel from ocuk, the Asus one but with it being bank holiday I wont get it till Tuesday/Wednesday!

Sigh it's bank holiday monday so no deliveries till wednesday!

My steam keeps crashing too and for some reason when it does it will take make my games drive dissappear :S.

Anyway 10% left to download and i can game!
