Exclamation F.E.A.R Not Installing
Hi guys, I just wanna run a little thing by you.

I download F.E.A.R Gold of the sierra website the other day. After the file had downloaded, I ran the Setup file.

Firstly, it went through all the Licence agreements and such, and then it said I needed to download 2 files before I could carry on with the installation, 1 of those files is called 'FEARGold_dat.001'. It begins to download this.

Now here's the problem: While i'm downloading 'FearGold_dat.001', it only gets to about 5 bars progress in about 4 hours. This feels seriously wrong, can't be internet speed, i'm on 6mbps which is average.

Would buying the game in the store and installing it by disk make a difference? So far i've tried everything apart from that, including Re-Downloading the whole EXE file. Still no results. The weird thing was, the first time I started to install the 'FEARGold_dat.001' file, the progress bars got half way through in about 45 minutes! Which seems really quick to me XD

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

sounds like problems on the server side with uploading speeds and activity...
id say leave your computer on for a night downloading these files and see how things go...

Shaggy, it was that I suck at video games - I guess that isn't too germane to the topic at hand here though!
