Win8.1 - Catastrophic Failure on Installation [Solved]

Post by [RDH]Zerted »

I'm getting a "Feature transfer error" when installing SWBF2 on my Windows 8.1 Surface Pro x64. Details:

Feature: Game
Component:
File:
Error: Catastrophic failure

Installing file: C:\...\DATA\_LVL_PC\MOVIES\INGAME.MVS

I'm installing from an old ISO I made from my original SWBF2 v1.0 CD. I've used it in the past and it has worked before. Does anyone else run SWBF2 on Win8.1 and/or a Surface Pro? The installation analysis tools says all the requirements pass.

I use it on 8.1 desktop and it works fine. I installed with the physical 1.1 dvd version though. Maybe your iso somehow got corrupted on transfer?

That was the problem. I've fixed it. Now I get a couple days to play before I travel to Germany and before the servers shut down.
