Major problem installing FEAR multiplayer

[Efour]

Ive downloaded the 1.7gb file twice now from 2 sources and both times when running the exe my machine wont respond and after a few minutes ill have to hard reset it.

Anyone else had this problem ?

Sorry i didnt tag this into one of the other FEAR threads, i wasnt sure it would get a fast answer in those.

PC specs are mid range 3700 amd 2gb ram @ XP sp2 - i have no idea why its doing this..
corrupt download maybe? but twice?? im unlucky or somethings not right

help.

I'd be inclined to give it a good few minutes to start installing, sometimes installers can show as non-responsive, but actually be working on it. Patience my friend!

I had the exact same problem, I tried downloading from 3 different sources and each one appeared to lock up my pc.
I done a defrag before downloading it again thinking it was scattered all over the place but it still seemed to lock up my pc when trying to install it. I must have left it a good 5 mins or more (went and made a coffee ) before it actually started to do anything but it has been installed and is running fine now.
