Title: F.E.A.R. PC Expansions Problems
Post by: NFSRacer on May 30, 2010, 01:12:42 pm

I'm having some trouble with F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate.  For some reason, after I get through the first part of the first chapter and I start loading the next part, the loading bar will get half-way, then just stop.  What makes it even more odd, I've got, played, and beaten F.E.A.R. and Extraction Point without much trouble (unless you consider weapon damage glitches problems).  Has anyone else been have similar problems?

never had that problem.  a reinstall might sort you out.  or just let it sit for a bit, sometimes they hang.  did you defrag after installing?  that alieviates TONS of loading issues.

Actually, I got all three through STEAM.  It took me about 26 hours just to download and install it and I even defraged the files and verified the cashe files, but I still got the same problem.  I may try to re-install it this summer, but do you even have any idea as to what could cause this?

i'm pretty sure the answer is no, but can you get a refund from steam?  if so do it and buy a disk copy.  i got mine from amazon on the cheap.

I don't think STEAM  does that, but how much was it for you?  The package goes for $9.99 on STEAM.

Hmmm...That's a bit too much for my tastes.  I'll look around.  They may have dropped in price.
