Problem Installing Far Cry
I was walking through Fry's Electronics today and I grabbed Far Cry off the shelf. Got home, and it goes through disc 1 and 2 fine (although a bit slow) but at 3 it locks the computer up for long periods of time and apparently doesn't install. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solution.
One thought I had was that it's an issue with my burner - it's the only CD drive I have. I don't have any burning software installed. Will I have to get another CD drive just to install this ******* game?

Re: Problem Installing Far Cry
hmm Far Cry uses Star fox protetion method which doesn't like certain "Virtual CD" drives prgames and also certain CD drives ...IIRC.
hmm if the CD locks then maybe its a problem with the CD itself?

Re: Problem Installing Far Cry
It looks like it was a CD drive problem. I swapped in a 36x reader and it seems to be working fine - stupid copy protection. Doom 3 took a long time to read in my sony CD-rw also...oh well, I've been needing to get a DVD drive for a while now.
