Argh! Forces unseen are conspiring against me to prevent me playing Star Wars Battlefront. I bought the first one, and it crashed all the time. I'd have a 50/50 chance of starting the next level in a campaign, or the game crashing and just restarting my computer. I downloaded the 180MB patch, and it didn't recognise the game.
So I thought things might be better with Battlefront II. I got a copy at Kmart. Within 10 seconds of starting the installation, it came up with an error: "Feature transfer error". Looking at the troubleshooting guide, it said that this error was likely the result of a faulty dvd. Fair enough, I thought, as when I looked at the disc it didn't look too great. Didn't look as bad as some cd's I've got, but I couldn't do much else so I returned it.
I persisted. I bought it again, this time from an online store. I got it in the mail today, it's in perfect condition without a scratch. I start the install. This time, I get the SAME error, but now a quarter of the way through rather than in the first 10 seconds.
It seems mighty unusual that the same problem would happen twice with different cd's. Could there be a problem with my computer? I can't think what it could be.
Help!
