Hello, I recently was able to try planetside at a friend of mine. (unfourtunatly he lives VERY far away. I visited him not to long ago, and none of my friends here at home have planetside) and I was very impressed. I learned Fileplanet has a 7 day free trial, so I decided to download it. Unfourtunatly, I can't install it because I get an error saying:

"Could not initialize installation. (CRC) invalid window handle."

I have tried downloading it 3 times now, all from different servers, and I get same error.
Could anyone help me out? I really wanna play this game :(

Thanks

Do you have Win XP?

If you do, there is a 30 Day trial on GameSpot you could try, when your finished with it, you can just sign up and not even buy the disc if you want to continue!

It requires that you have Win XP though.

ANd you need to use a known email adress, like; hotmail, yahoo or something of the like, my student email didn't work.

Don't have the link to the download on this computer, but it can probably be found easily on Gamespot, and there is a thread about it somewhere on these forums.

Pushy pushy!!

Unfortunately I cannot help you, I just felt like that statement was of absolute importance.

If all else fails, go out and buy the game and get a free month, that's what I'm doing tonight. ^^ My 7 day trial ended. How much is 7 days really worth to you? Lol. I guarantee if you try it for 7 days you WILL buy the game.
