Hello,
I have built installers, and none of them have ever operated like this.
Critical critic on the installer.
To be honest an installer that exacts to my C/: when I clearly do not have my temp files in E/: is a novice installer effort.
I do not like my C/: written to without permissions. I do not like the installer at all. The factor that is literally explodes into 3.6 gigs or so.
(x2 temp files, one in the temp the other in my E/: temp (WHICH I HAD TO MANUALLY COPY, Which in turn goes back to my goddamned C/: ,WHY?)
This is a big problem with this game at this time, it makes it impossible for those of us who have small C/:'s and large E/F/G's to play.
You guys need to go back on the drawing board with this idea, I played for awhile during CB with my laptop fine, however on my pc it's simply not possible.
I am not removing vital programs nor am I going to take the time to place extremely important to be on C/: compilers/editors for a game. I am sure many feel this way as this is the most common gripe of this game.
If you guys are not wanting customers thats fine, RO is free2play now as well and I am sure the craving for a sprite 3d game can be fixed with that. It also does not have a bloated installer that caused vital memory leaks while extracting.
That is where you "Outspark" are at with this installer. I am not the only one who has had this issue and I won't be the last. It's truely a pity as I had hoped to be able to play on my superior system versus a dated laptop with only 1.5 gigs of ram.
The lack of permission on this or choice makes me wonder if malware is being installed, or advertware. Why else would you not give the options for extraction. I'll also be flagging this as a dangerous install amongst the community sites I visit as I do not trust auto-extractors (that do not let you define the file). This is the perfect way to install adware/malware.
You are losing a vast player base with this installer, this is the primary gripe of many at mmo community sites. And it is a huge security risk for we the users the allow you install without verification of directory. (Which fyi is what most installers do.)
