Title: Help installing civ4
Post by: Cheddar on April 09, 2006, 10:38:52 AM
So I got a copy of Civilization 4 a week or so ago, and finally got around to (attempting) installing the game.  The problem is that my disk 2 causes errors during the install process.  It seems that a ton of bad CD's were shipped out, and I won the lottery and got one.  Can anyone create an ISO image of their disk 2 or host the cab 3 file for me?  I would be eternally grateful!

FYI, I seem to have misplaced the receipt, so an exchange is looking unlikely.  Sucks spending 50 dollars on a game, getting psyched up about it, then finding out you cannot play the damn thing.

Meh, anywhere should exchange it if you raise a huff. Hell, a straight exchange is what they'll offer you. Just take it to a gamestop or EB.

And if they get personal be like - look, I just want disc 2. You could take it out of the box right there and just trade that disc with me.

You could just hit up a torrent and only download image 2. Use uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/). You can choose which pieces to download when you begin a torrent.

I will try this.  Schild, in case you have not noticed, I am extremely Unibomber (unabomber? I do not want to get dragged into the gulag!) with my personal encounters.  This is a large part of why I am celibate currently.  I do not like being near people.  AT ALL.  It bothers me to no end.  But this could go into another thread and such.

Give me the fucking second disk via download you bastards!

Great.  I just got a new copy of the game from a different source and get the same fucking error.  This really makes me want to just pirate shit instead of bothering with the whole "pay for what you get" model.  Argh.  :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
