Support »  [Sticky] Terminator Salvation PC Install Error

"This game should be terminated... there is no salvation"

Well, they must have been working on the sequel to Terminator. That was why it took so long to post an acknowledgment! Now onto the FIX ladies and gents!

what is DRM?

Great call headkase! I vote for that one!

Please refrain from using bad language or a threatening tone or we will ban you and delete the post.

yeldarb87: This Announcement says its available on Steam now. I have a broadband connection and saying its a 6GB download that would take me 3-4 hours with Steam. That is a lot better than weeks with snail mail!

sss

yeldarb87: I followed the link and there is no unlock message?!? Where are you geographically? Maybe its not unlocked for you?!?

Evolved Games- what is your plan to give me a new copy of this game for FREE???

Just to inform paying/honest ppl pirates with clone version and install script are playing it on PC....... and then ask why there is no patch for it??????????????????????????

gr8 work publisher gr8

Maybe we should get one of them to post the fix!? LMAO

actually, ive changed my mind about the game now since I think about it, and have myself over-reacted just a bit. Humans do make mistakes every now and then. Iam looking forward to whatever they provide, and ive waited 2 months for this game, so I can wait awhile longer to play it. Iam sure they are working hard on a solution for us so I guess we just have to be patient. I talked to my software vendor, best buy about a refund and they said it was too early to decide and they have to wait till they hear from the game manufacture. I was gonna go get my refund and buy the steam version so I can be atleast playing this game during the holiday weekend. but I have other games I can play in the meantime. Iam sure they have a mess on their hands with thousands of copies corrupted. And Iam sure they are working on a good plan to make us happy, since their reputation is on the line and they are recieving negative stories on all the major gaming sites. THANK YOU EVOLVED GAMES FOR THE OFFICIAL POST,LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE GOOD NEWS IN THE FUTURE!!! hopefully soon!

I was lucky enough this morning, to get a refund from Best Buy for this game. Glad to see Evolved Games finally made an official post. I seriously doubt I will re-purchase this game after all this mess.

ha ha kingpin1971,,, is that ur birthyear? mine also :) yes it seems i got a bit worked up, and then as i think about it... its not worth gettin pissed about. sure they are gonna fix it..I had a bit of other good news today too (not from evolved software) about another situation that i was stressed about. But I wished they had sent me free software :)

anyway,, whoever posted this fix,, is this for XP or Vista? some file folders are different between the operating systems. If somewon tries this ( I will in a few hours) on a Vista machine and it works let us know...Anything to get this game working Ill try.. Iam just not on my gaming machine till later..

I tested on XP SP3 but it should work with Vista. The location to where you put the folder does not matter. I was just using an example. You could just make a folder on C:\TermSalv\ and do it from there if you wanted.

Can someone here put a download of InstallShield Cabinet File Viewer
i wasn't found it

The error message is - Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid.

Ahhhh, games are way too much fun. LOL

Finished the game in less then 4 hours. Can you also at least double the playlenght when you reship it?

I followed Sydam3's instructions and even added the files that were not mentioned as in the OpenAL_EULA, oalinst and that PhysX file but when I click on the exe file I get an Entry Point Not Found error. Yes, all files are in lower case and I rebooted the computer.

lol dutchy wish they could, but doubling the game length would probably take a few months lol, development takes quite a while.... oh and for the guy looking for a link to cab viewer (hopefully the mega upload link still works) this should do: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BTHY9WGF

Yes dathmor, I extracted all files just as Sydam3 instructed. It takes a long time to do each one but I was bored so I went for it. I recommend that we give Evolved Games a few days (it's most likely going to take a week) to get the corrected game out in the stores and all we need to do is to return our CD coasters for the new and hopefully bug free game.

I took mine back to Best Buy and they gave me a load of shite about how they cannot reimburse me for the game being that it was software.So I called my attorney in front of the store manager gave the phone to him
and his attitude changed so fast . I never seen a grown man pucker up like that before . When all said and down I got a gift card for the same amount of the game. It was worth it just to see his expression.LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI:Best Buy I went in Morristown NJ didn't know anything about this recall they still had the games on the shelves.So if you buy at best buy inform yourself by asking some questions. GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

7600 shouldn't have a problem playing this game on minimal settings it aint top of the line but it ain the worst either.

Ausimus, I'd generally agree with ya. I'm going to reserve some hope with the ligit install disc, preferably with proper video setup, there's squat for any on the current version, just resolution and brightness for funks sake. Just as bumbed as the rest of you guys though. I've enjoyed Terminator since the beggining and do dig a good post apocolyptic scenario. I don't blame the devs or the techs however. They got screwed just as much as the customers did, in a different way, but just as much. Ya see, I was pc support for a manufacturer for a few years and I know exactly how execs and sales can sell a product before it's even finished. Trust me, I've seen some ROYALLY pooched installs! I also happened to be the sorry shlub on the recieving end of pissed off customers, and they were right to be pissed. Anyway, in my experience, the responsible parties know they screwed up. Whether or not they care, who knows. I've been through some nasty production and shipping nightmares and they aren't easily or very quickly resolved, at least not all at once. I don't mean do make it out in a bad light, in fact I hope that the situation involving this game isn't that bad and that we all should be able to exchange our already purchased and defective game copies with newer and fixed copies once they arrive at local stores. Even though the stores have a usual no return policy, I've seen them absolutely make exceptions without complaint with big titles and or products. That said however, if they do not, then we can demand our exchange through the developers. I've been through this in my experience and even though it may be slow, all involved are generally appeased that something is being done to right a wrong. And if that doesn't work, well...then I might just send my copy of the game back to whomever with a steaming turd on it. Generally however, I can appreciate where the customers, the devs and the techs are coming from, but not the execs and the sales duches. Some are soulless and don't care once they have your dollar, others are just stupid and push a potentially decent product out the door before it can walk.

Ok, sorry for that little diatribe there but I felt like venting my 3 cents.


Asta La Vi....nah forget it

Bankruptcy is written all over this.

Very irresponsible for evolved games to do such a thing. Whatever happens from now on, is clearly what you guys deserve.

p.s. even without this problem, the game is still too short (2:20hours) to be worth the money.
