Install stuck at 25%

Post » Thu Mar 07, 2013 4:21 pm

So... just downloaded the game, looking forward to playing it but it won't install. It's stuck at 25% and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Any help? Never had this issue with the Alpha or Beta.

If it matters... system specs are:
2x7970 in CF
i7-2600k
Windows 7 x64
Installed on OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD

Current guess is that the install is hanging on the DirectX part of the install but I don't know why.

nvm... dunno what the hang up was but installing the game in safe mode got it to work; definitely was some sort of hangup with dxsetup.exe

Figure I'll leave this here instead of deleting the thread in case anyone else has this experience. Solution is to just boot into safe mode to install the game.

System is clean as far as Avast can tell me. I've got parental control software on the computer since I've got kids, sometimes that causes problems.
