Ninjaofdoom Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 I just built a new PC and am in the middle of reinstalling BS. When I went to the DCS site and downloaded the 1.02 patch, it freezes and goes to 'not responding' at 99%. I have tried 2 FTPs and the bittorrent download. Now there are erroneous files on my desktop and in my Downloads folder that crash explorer and bork the PC if I try to erase them. I'm stuck with dummy files and cannot patch. I patched my original install not 2 weeks ago and it was fine. Anyone else having an issue? :( Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car. i7-930 @ 3.8ghz, 6GB Corsair Dominator 1600, EVGA GTX470, OCZ 60GB SSD, TrackIR 5 Pro, Win7 64 And a 46" LCD at 1920x1080 to enjoy the goodness :joystick: :pilotfly:
EtherealN Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Files that "crash explorer" and "bork the PC" if you try to erase them? Your first step is to repair the operating system. There simply is no way for an inert file to do that, except if the file was partialled in some way and the OS itself is broken and loses itself. Run Defraggler, DriverSweeper, CCleaner etcetera to make sure that your system is healthy, because it just might be your OS itself that is causing something to happen with the downloading.

Ninjaofdoom Posted December 6, 2010 Author Posted December 6, 2010 Yea, it surprised me as well. BS was the first thing to be installed on a completely new install of Win7 Pro 64. I did go with a SSD boot disk this time around so I wont defrag it, but all the other drivers have downloaded to the desktop fine (Saitek/TrackIR etc). /sigh Thanks for the links!

Ninjaofdoom Posted December 8, 2010 Author Posted December 8, 2010 Well, 2 fresh Windows installs later and trying to download to both my boot and secondary hard drive, and it just wont work. Guess im stuck on 1.0 forever :( Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car. i7-930 @ 3.8ghz, 6GB Corsair Dominator 1600, EVGA GTX470, OCZ 60GB SSD, TrackIR 5 Pro, Win7 64 And a 46" LCD at 1920x1080 to enjoy the goodness :joystick: :pilotfly:
