Dear WarHorse Studios
Salutations from Brazil! I bought this game near the end of August 2014 and it got delivered to my house just a few hours ago (with a import tax fee more expensive than the declared goods, thanks DHL) and it looks fantastic and I’m dying to try it out but I’m having the following issue:
I don’t have a Disc Drive on my Computer, and I want to do the installation through my discs - my internet is horrible and downloading 31 gb would take forever. So what did I do, I booted a older computer, plugged it into my network and copied the discs’s contents to my gaming set on my bedroom and tried installing from there.
So what happens is that:
- if I run the Setup from the KC:D Disc 1 content folder, eventually the Steam installer asks me to put in Disc 2. If I swap the folder names so that the installation folder (the directory steam expects the disc drive to be) points to the folder with the contents of the Disc 2 and click “ok”, the installation immediately asks me for Disc 3 and so forth. Once the installation Successfully concludes, the game starts downloading at about 3.1 gb mark.
- If I put all the packed files together and fiddle with the sku.sis file to make it so that the game has 1 disk (to try and make it install everything on one go), Steam won’t ask me for disk 2 or 3 but will finish the installation nevertheless just as in the aforementioned case, and will behave like so - hitting play will start the download at about 3.1 gb mark.
I’m thinking about trying to boot the installation straight out of the shared network drive and see what happens - things should work, they should just be slow as hell. But meanwhile, if anybody could tell me how to install things straight from my filesystem, that’d be aweeeeesome.
Cheers!
