Itty bitty big problem.

Ok, so I decided to come back to Planetside. I re-activate my account, log in, yadda yadda, then when loading sanctuary, I get an error, can't remember what it says. I haven't installed planetside since beta, so I decide I might have uninstalled something accidentally, and am going to reinstall.

I whip out my discs and start the install. Now, I'm on disk two, and I get an error that goes like this:

Component Transfer Error

Component: PlanetSide
FileGroup: PlanetSide files
File: D:\data3.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancey check).

I'm really pissed....

Anyone have a solution to this problem?

Way back when it was released there was a batch of copies that had a bad CD. Thats probably waht you have.

I dunno if you can download from fileplanet and use your subscription key. Try cleaning your CD

The d/l and then use subscription key should work. How else to people subscribe?

Well, you probably should have run a full scan first, but to late for that now. If your discs are acting up, you can always snag a 7-day free trail install off of File Planet.

Hmm. I booted up the LaunchPad and it started to download all the patches from way back when, you know, the 5hr + ones. Anyways, think that'll work out? If not, I'm gonna cancel the DL now and go get the free trial thing. Does that include all the current patches? (the trial thingy)

Worth a shot to dl the patches.

Ok, so I go and download the filplanet trial. I get it installed...all good so far. I go to log in, yadda yadda....then when it starts up some of the screen is white and whatnot, like the skins won't load, then it crashes a few seconds after. Now, I'm pretty sure it's either my Vid card or my RAM. I have like 300something Ram (128+256). Now, what really pisses me off is that I used to be run Planetside smooth as silk before I took my break. Could it have changed so much that I now have to upgrade since my system can't handle it? If so, then screw this, I'm not paying more money for this game. Grr..I can see why I left in the first place.
