Why does this game take so long to install ?

Lastest version, full install,its already over 3 hours and still going.....

Id really like to see the new armors ....today.....

Perhaps you're asking why it takes so long to download? I reinstalled mine via steam, and it downloaded at full speed with little, if any, installation time.

nah the download was about a gig,and went fast enough as usual...
Its the damn installation....and its still installing.....at this rate i wont get to see the new version til i wake up tommorrow.

When I installed the first time the .NET installer was what bogged the process down. I don't know why that was the case. To this day I cringe a little when I see that another game is going to futilely attempt to install .NET or some C++ redistributable package instead of looking to see if I have it already. I always expect it to take a century to finish and I just want to play my game now. Don't they know that I was in Boy Scouts? I am prepared for future game installations just check my system and see if I'm not you stupid-assed installer-wizard!

Anyways, it could also just be a bad download. They still happen, though unlikely.

sounds like a internet issue.
do you have limits on downloads for the month??
carriers love to throttle your bandwidth if you go over there set limit.

Edit
gah lol okies i seem to be brain dead this afternoon >.<
Install should only take a few minutes.
can do several things. continue with the install.
Stop install, then restart computer, then try installing again.
Update your drivers.
Delete the download and any Folders Kenshi may have already made ( temp Files )., restart computer, re download and install.

Install, NOT download.

The download has been complete since yesterday.

The install on the other hand,still going on........

[tkobo]

...and install has finally completed.

I did spend a few hours starting and stopping it today though,to see if i could figure out the issue.And i think i did.Its VERY odd,and yet held true thru multiple tests,but minimizing the install window reduces the speed of the install to a glacial pace.

If i left the install window maximized,and kept it at the top of any programs running,the install would complete in about 15 minutes.However,should i minimize the install window,the install would take well over 14 hours (i dont know the full time it would take, as the install when i stopped it was only at about 1/3 done)

Ive never in my computer exp,seen this.....whats the deal ?

hard drive most likely. Either fragmented, slow, or starting to die.
