GW Factions

[paul8811]

Installed this last night (already have the first GW) but whenever I go into a new area it takes anything from 10-20 minutes of loading & decompressing. Anyone heard of this problem as its kinda ruins the game?

I'm guessing it's because it's new it is downloading all the updated and new content. Once it's downloaded once, it shoudn't do it again unless some content changes.

Surely all the new data is on the 2cd's that you install, the first GW never did this.

The first GW always did this

Whenever they added new bits its gotta grab em.

It sounds like the factions content hasn't been transferred over, are you sure it performed a full install rather than just adding the new CD key to your account.

The install seemed to go fine, asked for both disks. I am sure something aint right as taking 20 minutes to decompress is taking the Michael & making the game unplayable.
