it installs from 0 to 11% quickly then from 11% to 12% it takes about 60 seconds and the same for every 1 % after that, what gives?

this is installing from my 12x dvd drive its about the same installing from my plextor 121032

i havent installed yet because i think there is something wrong

Have you tried running defrag and scandisk prior to installation? Or maybe you've got too many programs running in the background, try shutting those down also.

I think the total install for this game is around the 1.2 gig , so it is gonna take a while , but your time seems a bit excessive , Take the disk back m8 or install it on someone elses machine see if there is any difference , hope this helps , it is originally on 2 disks as well but you probably no that ;)

it's a backup mate ! :)

when it get's to the 11% mark the dvd goes into extreme intense reading of the disk after about 30 minutes it had only got to about 23% so i cancelled the installation and had a look at the disk, it look ok, but was really hot .

i have had this while installing other games but nowhere near as bad as this

Hi Ya

Sounds like a bit of a duff disk there m8 , or maybe a hardware problem, A friend of mines dvd drive would not read any bongie disks , don't know why , borrow another cd drive try that , as it is not to hard or time consuming to swap em over , Hope that helps
;)

will do

thx mate
