Larian Studios Forums Dragon Commander Dragon Commander - Technical Problems Installation freezes

Hello everyone,

I downloaded electronic version of game but when i try to install game it freezes when it starts proces CombatMoveAround.bik

Does anyone know what to do with this??

Thank you all

I got the same problem I bought the game from gamersgate.

Same here. Got it from the Larian Vault.Gets through all the .bnk files ok then this .bik locks it up. Tried downloading again and other folders and removed beta version and shut down everything non-essential in my system tray. Even disabled anti-virus for 10 minutes.
Windows 7 PC with 4GB RAM and an Intel Q6600 2.4GHz quad-core.

Same problem, tried downloading through the Vault. Trying Steam now, hope it works...

Same here - downloaded through vault - installer hangs at CombatMoveAround.bik

trying steam download lets see if it will work

Same problem for me.

What should i say ^_^ Same here. Just downloaded it from gamersgate.com. Tryed to install it in severall Folders but it dont work. Downloeaded it a second time - also no Effect. Installations freezes after run about 30 Seconds reaching CombatMoveAround.bik
What do you think? A general Problems or is the gamersgame DL-File broken? Oh and only cause i read that... in cant find any Gameserial for Steam. Is that normal with the gamersgate Version?

We are working on the issue. People who have access to a steam key on top of larianvault can download it via steam (it's drm-free once downloaded there as well)

the vault & gamersgate installers will be updated shortly

well i just installed steam version and it is ok so far.
so for all of you who have steam serial key to unlock this game just do it with steam.

Thats the information we want to hear!
Hope it only take a hour or less ?!!?!!! !?!!

It's annoying to say the least. At first it's two hours late and then it doesn't even work.

Had to go for a swim in the meantime to mellow my mood. ... And it still isn't fixed.

Really wish by now that I'd bit the bullet and preloaded it (or at least started the Steam d/l before hitting the water).

Exactly the same problem here!

Any updates on the fix for this problem yet?

We've updated the installers twice already but there seems to be a problem with the content delivery network that we are using resulting in the files being corrupted and causing the installers to freeze. There's unfortunately little we can do ourselves about it right now but we'll keep on pushing so that the files are spread correctly asap.

Having the same problem and will try a bit later to see if it's been resolved yet. Usually a CDN takes a few hours to seed fully if it's not done manually, patience!

It is possible to extract a working game from the files, there is probably an easier way than I did it. If you use http://sourceforge.net/projects/innounp/ you can extract the files the ones that are broken in my set are these avoid them and your good.

The one that freezes unpacking is CombatMoveAround the others produce errors. Unfortunatly I'm either too stupid to figure out how or the program doesn't allow simple ignore file so I had to unpack using wildcards which was a bit of a pain. There are guis that use it so I imagine they are the way to go if you wanna give it a shot. (edited to correct files affected and behaviour description)

Damn, I'm having this issue, seems like I'm pretty much screwed for the time being.

Are you trying to tell us that we have to download the entire game again?

Also the bolded part seems to say: "DO NOT EVER BUY GAMES ON LARIAN VAULT. Because shit can happen and WE have no way of fixing it ourselves."

Yeah I am feeling kind of upset about this whole thing too. I selected the Vault version so Larian wouldn't have to pay a cut to Steam or GOG. Being told that I'm SOL and just won't be able to play the game anytime soon is not helping things right now.
