I have a never before used Live key but not gonna try and possibly ruin it on this piece of dog shit. UT3 is about 10x better.

BTW uninstalling works great, I don't know what that boundle clone was blubbering about.

Congratulations on uninstalling this crap successfully. I had 100+Mb of files left to be deleted the hard way.

It's a rip of the Steam version with a homemade installer from what I know, doesn't mean it's terrible or anything but it might not get rid of everything.
(Settings for example, stuff stored in the User / Documents and Settings folder and such.)

Tried the single player and it seems it's just a match with bots with some radio messages and cutscenes added

Damn, I was hoping for a decent single player campaign, I was fairly impressed with the beta. Ah well, bandwidth saved then. Smile

Tried running this game but it will not work on my computer. It just shows a busy icon. I can still use the computer but I have to reset to kill the program. Also, will not work with any of the .exe's or with the Skidrow fix.

It needs the VC++ redists, a recent DirectX update (Just get the latest one if you haven't already installed it.) and the LIVE redistributable which in turn requires .Net. Smile
(Bit hard to explain, might all be on the game disc or installed along with the release in the selected folder but I'd still recommend getting the most recent versions if possible.)

EDIT: UE3 also needs the OpenAL redist normally but this game uses the XAct2 audio engine from DirectX.
(Similar to for example how Mass Effect 1 uses FMOD instead, game engine seems quite modifyable such as Bioshock and Stranglehold using Havok instead of AGEIA PhysX or how Mirrors Edge changed the look of several lighting related shaders and rendering techniques or what to call it.)

Bought a key on the net. Multiplayer is really fun, too bad there are so few servers yet and almost no people on them. Hope it gets better soon..

This could be a serious problem, since my sensation is that the game will never have a decent number of active players...
But who knows, maybe there are a lot of people who liked the beta and they're planning to buy it.

Doesn't the section 8 installer just place the files along with where you installed it?

If that doesn't work try download the newest LIVE client as per the above post.
(Microsoft's download website, should be version 3 with the first update, should be only version available from their website actually so it doesn't matter much, hehe.)

EDIT: Could try to disable LIVE by renaming that yellow looking catalogue (.exe.cat) file as well, works in some titles like Batman and Fallout 3 but it depends on how it's integrated.
(Above unlock codes won't work without LIVE for example albeit they're multiplayer oriented anyways, heh.)

i simply installed the game without any problems. no errors, no problems. so i'd say it's most likely it's all about the LIVE installation. i've installed the one coming with the game and it works fine for me! try also updating the DX with what the game comes.

On what OS are you playing it ??? I tried running it on win xp Sp3 , but as I said, so far not luck at all.
I installed just first time the live , directx, and physix that comes with the game and automatically runs during game installation, and it didn't work. Then, I read somewhere on this forum that I should not let this happened, that is , to install manually this things from the game folder after installation of game. I did both things, nothing worked. I applied the crack fix , that didn't help neither. What happens is that when I start game , before reinstalling physicx game starts with the LIVE logo in and then game crashes after few seconds. When I reinstall physicx , then game starts without LIVE logo and when it says "Failed to initialize Games for Window Live" , fuckin game crushes. When I reinstalled LIVE, then again the same thing, when the game starts no LIVE logo and after "Failed to initialize Games for Window Live" game crushes. What makes me mad, games like "DOW 2" and "Battle stations Pacific" who also require LIVE worked completely fine and none of this bullshit reinstall was needed. Now, after all this messing around, I cant play those game no more, because something got fucked up with LIVE.....It pisses me out like crazy. I cant even start those two games anymore. I don't know what the fuck is going on.

I have to say that I didn't reinstalled system after I uninstalled live, and installed back in. I don't know does it really meters.

So, maybe this work is not working on XP ??!?! I didn't try to install it on Vista, I might try tonight.

Can somebody please write me down the steps how to install this fuckin game with all the live bullshit and the rest ?????

I had the exact same problem "starts with the LIVE logo in and then game crashes after few seconds."
Don't know for XP but in W7 i had to set in the properties vista sp2 compatibility mode and since then it's working without crashing.
But single campaign sucks and i don't care about multiplayer. Uninstall it after 20min.

geez. the graphics in this game doesn't look very dynamic. in fact, it looks slightly outdated compared to some of the newer releases. the game seems like it's the bastard stepchild of halo. you can jump really high with the aid of your jump packs. other than that, the game got boring for me fast.

i've been spoiled by physx. it makes the environment in a game dynamic and alive. without it, the game is static and dull. this game has physx but the environment feels very static (nothing flying around in the air). i supposed it's applied to the weapon particles and smoke you see. but nothing stands out physx wise.

anyway i've beaten the campaign, 'corde's story,' in around 4 hours on medium (of course i skipped all the skip-able videos). there's not much to do afterwards. i was looking forward to a cool ending cut scene but got scrolling credits instead. Sad
