Ugh, after the Best Buy I went to for midnight launch mysteriously never opened. And after had to then walk over to a gamestop to find a copy....

Now the install is taking ages. Like an hour has passed and it's at 35%....

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone NOT have an issue with long install times?

This complaint is being posted everywhere and, I have to say, it's the least important of complaints~~

People not being able to play is a tad more substantial. Not to water down your sorrow, but it's been mentioned/isn't a huge deal.

My install was very fast.

But my patch update is taking a while (15 min), cause I have slow internet.

Some of us were discussing this in the NA install thread, probably better to continue in this thread so its all in one place.

So far, the people who have had this problem (including me) have all been running Windows XP. FWIW, though, things seem to speed up a lot after 50%.

On the bright side, this will only be a problem once . . .

installed the game in like 15mins , no problems at all . It was super smooth and the story recap was pretty enjoyable . If you are installing the game from the disc maybe there is problem with it or with your cdrom . Try to download it from battle.net and try to install it from there .

I'm downloading the game from battle.net. I got the installer and now it's downloading something like 6.99 Gigs. My download rate from speed test is like 6.5 megabytes, but the blizzard download rate is only like .4 megabytes per second. Does anyone know what could be causing that?

If you turn off peer-to-peer sharing, it should go much much faster.

At zerglingforlife: probably just network strain on the bliz server. I can imagine you're far from the only person dl'ing it on launch day lol.

you think you have slow internet, but be thankful you don't have dial-up. When I purchase the game tomorrow, I'll have to wait about 6 hours (hopefully) to get the update. On second thought, I think I'll go to a friends...

The installer crashed on me, once starting it up, and once in the middle of installing it. Funny because the Beta was 100% stable. 3rd time the charm I guess.

Uh, I'm approaching the 2 hour mark and I'm at 95% on a computer that could run everything on the highest settings. Pretty sure it's got something to do with XP as others have stated as friends who run Vista installed and updated in less than thirty minutes.
