I tried to download the game yesterday, since my postman did not deliver my copy in time. Steam keeps acting up. It took more than 12 hours to download. It didn’t work. uninstalled and tried again. nope, still not working.
Today I plucked the box from the post offic, and was happy to be able to play the game soon!
Started installing, Running steam online was mandatory (Why though?!?)
“installing from disc” expected time 19 hours.
So…I have 4 discs, but steam is mandatory and still tries to download the game, at worse speeds than normal, DESPITE the game being (supposedly) on the disc?
I have a busy streak, working lots of overtime, and would like to spend some nice mements in 15th C bohemia. But my limited free time is too precious to keep wasting it with unsuccessfull attempt after unsuccessful attempt after failure after botched attempt after ineffective attempt at getting the game to install and run.
I am considering, unless some clever solution comes up fast, to just shelf the game, and let it colelct dust for 6 month or so, until, hopefully, some issues have been resolved.
This is, to be honest, exhausting and puts quite a dent in the joy of KC:D being finally released…
