Microsoft is a pain in the a.... when it comes to installing games. I seocnd what Kyth says.I never, ever isntalled a game in the C: drive and asa result I have never ever had any problem installing mods in any game I have or played...Partitioning is the key.It takes 30 minutes to do it and you'll never regret doing it.

Hi chaps and thanks for the continuing advice much appreciated.

I'm installing to my "D" drive and also not to the Program Files\ folder. I've checked the paths that the game updates want to install to carefully as well.

I can re-install the game and fire it up but that's about it. My previous installation before stopped working after patching to v580, it also contained both of the DLCs which installed just fine first time around as well as the 577 update which worked by copying the 577 files from a temp folder into the game folder.

My new installation works and if I copy the 577 files in to the game folder it still works BUT if I do the same with the 580 files either with or without 577, then the game no longer launches. Also if I try and install either of the DLCs by selecting the appropriate addpack via update screen nothing happens and they don't install it never even tries to install them, that's how I left it last night after three new game re-installs and several re-downloads of relevant patches etc..

The irony is that I never actually play the game but I just wanted to keep up to date with patches and maybe fire it up to look at new features when and if time permits.

There's something about this on the other forum.
It seems to require some DirectX update, otherwise it won't work:

In the meantime here's my nearly completed Torn.Fu.d.2 Radio model and texture for Steel Fury.

I'm having the exact same problems. What a PITA.

Another cuttent issue is that pixel shader 2.0 support sort of got broken in current patch. If you are running an older vid card this could be the problem. Thats the bad part........good part is a patch to fix it is allready in alpha. The OTHER bad part is DLC's where updated off of gamersgate to new version which means rolling back to older patch with DLC is a problem. Also a new patch install method is being done. It actaully screwed me up as I was use to the old way. muhahahah So they are working on it.
