Sith_Lord_Jero Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Whenever i try to install JK2 it gets up to 11% and then just bombs on me. I am running an AMD Athlon Processor, 1.26 Ghz with 256 mb ram. My video card is a nVidia GeForce 2 mx 400 with the latest Windows XP drivers. Can anyone help me?
bar-bar mandrel Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 hard to say...does it provide an error message? It could be safedisc related. It could be a bad cr-rom drive, it could be a dirty CD-rom drive. I had a game that would not install, so I tried copying it to the hard drive and then installing. It took over 2 hours for the files to copy. Turned out later I had a bad CD-ROM drive, and this particular disc really gave it trouble.
Sith_Lord_Jero Posted May 26, 2002 Author Posted May 26, 2002 no there is no error message. it just sits on 11% forever but its ok now i found out the problem. the certain file is courupt, its file name is 'assets1.pk3'. is it possible to find this file anywhere on the net or do i have to get a new copy? (yes i know burning games is bad:( but its the only way i can get games)sorry to lucas arts
Cracken Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I have the same problem with the assets1.pk3 file...it says "Invalid function" when I try to install. Any help?
Sorblach Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 Try installing it on another PC... I think I'm having the same problem... Installs on other PCs but on mine it gets stuck at 14%... Same file though...
Dracil Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Hi, I had the same problem. Just copy the contents to your HD (you may or may not nead a program like BlindRead to do that)and copy the CD to your HD, then install from your HD.
Sorblach Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 When I tried to copy it, it gave me an error about I/O or something... I d/led BlindRead and I dont see how it would help... It makes copies of CD's so that you can write them to another CD... not use them to install Help plz
bar-bar mandrel Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 I'm 90% sure it's a "bad" CD-ROM drive. Might think about replacement.
Chiles4 Posted May 28, 2002 Posted May 28, 2002 Though it may seem that a file on your CD is corrupted, this could easily be a symptom of a CD drive than cannot read the JK2 cd. This situation can lead any number of install errors such as hangs, CRC errors and "invalid 32-bit application" messages. If you can't copy the contents of the CD to your hard drive, and can't use an app like BlindRead or CloneCD (unlikely if you can't copy to hard drive), then chances are your CD drive will never be able to handle the copy-protection on the JK2 CD. That's why, as happens so many times, it wont' install on one computer but install fine on another. The best and least expensive drives that have good success with new game cds are late-model DVD-ROM drives.
Brycon Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 Whats the full install path for the game by the way? IM trying to install the new patch for it but it says the games not found.
