have you also tried the "troubleshooting installer" in the Registered Downloads for EIA mentioned above?

Just purchased this title and having issues with the installer hanging. My game is registered, but I can't find the "troubleshooting installer"? Any help is much appreciated. Have followed the OP instructions.

Is this with the original v1.00 install or one of the patches?

If you hang on for just a bit longer, the v1.21.03 public beta should be up soon. I've successfully tested a clean install of v1.00 and then a comprehensive update direct to v1.21.03, so folks should soon be able to do that and enjoy the new update.

Thanks for responding. It's the v1.00 install. The installation doesn't get very far when it starts to hang. Do you require v1.00 to be installed before installing the beta files?

Yes, you definitely need the initial install and serial number to update. I'd recommend two things? 1, redownload the game installer from Matrix. 2, completely uninstall the old game, reboot, and reinstall. If that doesn't work then you need Matrix tech support.

Thank you for your help, pzgndr.

Joe[&o] at tech support helped me out and all is working fine. Had to do the install in safe mode.

Do you have to install the BETA update v1.20.04 before applying the upcoming v1.21.03 ?

Thanks again!

Excellent. The v1.21.03 installer I tested a couple days ago worked fine as a comprehensive update from v1.00 so folks don't have to install any intermediate patches. There was a minor issue with documentation and I'm not sure if the Matrix team will update the beta installer now or wait for the official release installer later. But we are close!

here's my tips on what can be altered on windows 10 pc's to make games work better, as most of what's needed to run is included with windows 10, but not enabled by default and other things included aren't needed and can stop some games from running at all, so offer my advice to anyone who has issue, as so far 99% of all games here run with no issues whatsoever, with just a few needing some tweaks and only one so far not working at all, which wasn't a surprise as it doesn't work with older versions of windows either

Hello thanks for help but it didnt worked. I read someone managed to intall the game in safe mode and it worked for me too. During install i had error 200 and another error decompresing a police file, but after cancelling i could launch game but i had an error saying serial number was not found. So i think the installer cannot write the seial during installation.

Trying to download the 1.05 installer file from the MY Page area and I click on it and the screen goes white then returns to My Page and doesn't download.
Trying to reinstall to test out the new beta.
Thank you.
