MOH WTF!?!?!?

[PapaLazaru]

Can I post a link to that video of the angry german kid?

lol.

If I ever get into an argument with a rager when I am gaming, I just ask them if they are indeed the Angry German Gamer Kid.

Usually shuts them up.

lol rage thread

i spent about 4 hours installing starcraft 2 and napoleon: total war

the 4 hours consisted of 20 mins installing both games and 3 and a half hours downloading all the crap that comes with them

this and the price of the pc are the only things that put me off pc gaming

All joking aside, YOU HAVE A DODGY DVD DRIVE! It's been said already but you seem to be too angry to actually read the replies.

Buy a £20 replacement, slap it in, and I guarantee the problem will go away.

And turn the encryption on your wireless back on, it's not causing problems either

exactly, a usb optical drive should do

Straight from the EA forum ...


"Got errors reading the disk on install? The Binaries\DFA.dll giving you a bad day? This will allow you to install the game through safe mode. I suggest trying to disable AVG first and then try to install, but if your like me and it that doesn't work (even uninstalling it didn't work), here is what to do:

(1). Re-boot your comp into safe mode (press F8 during start up).

(2). Choose safe mode from the list provided.

(3). While in safe mode open up the run window (windows key + R) and type in "cmd" and press enter/ok.

(4). In the command console window that opened up put in the following:

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"

*What this does is add a registry key that will allow the windows installer service to work in safe mode*

(5). Next enter the following into the command console:

net start msiserver

*What this does is start the windows installer service*

(6). Once it says the service has successfully started in the command console you can close it, and install your game while still in safe mode.

Give that a try OP.

my word. Good ol' PC gaming right there.

Not really, those with correctly configured PC's dont have these issues and in the rare event that a fix for something is required the person will be happy to do it because ulimately they will be rewarded with a better gaming experiance

"MOH WTF!?!?!?!?"

That's exactly what I said when the SP ended after 5 minutes and when I experienced the MP.

Crikey, if you're never going to buy a game again unless its from one specific company who releases like 1 game a year then you're going to seriously miss out on some great games.

1 game a year? You're pushing it.

my word. Good ol' PC gaming right there.

I've never had a single issue with PC games installing or launching.

True story.

Ive had install problems with two games

Hitman Blood Money and The Witcher.

What I did was I left the room when they were installing, then it worked. It does say not to have any running programs when installing the game but I never took it seriously.

Having read the OP's posts I can definitely say its a PEBKAC issue!
