Can't install

"Error happened during download"

 

Was installing this game, it was smooth until this error occured.

The link : http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aafff19-9d21-4d35-ae81-02c

Do you want to retry?

 

I clicked "yes", and it comes back to this window. 

What can I do? I really want to play this childhood game of mine on mac.

I have installed Star Wars Battlefront 2 on my steam windows version with playonmac and wine and it has downloaded the game but when I go to click play through steam it pops up with a message saying it needs to update but there is no update and after 30 seconds or so another error pops up saying connection time out. So I can't get past this to actually open and play the game. Please help me solve this issue. Thank you!

Does anyone know how to install the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Ultimate Mod to the Steam edition of Battlefront 2. I downloaded BF2 through Play on Linux
Anonymous
Sunday 25 February 2018 at 5:37
But i dont think that's the problem. I will copy and paste the file's location into the mod installer, but it is asking for a drive name? I dont know the drive name of the home folder so that might be the problem

If so does anyone know how to find out in what drive your home folder is located? But i am hoping there is someone who has managed to successfully install the Ultimate mod for BF2 who could help me out. Thanks!

I have the 4 CD-ROM Set. I cannot get the installer to start installing (It asks if it wants to create a shortcut, which I select no) by throwing an error:

Graphics card/drivers? Full computer specs? Full debug log? From the looks of it, you might want to check your graphics card drivers, but without that info, we are just guessing. :)

There appears to be a patch for the slow loading.  Could you create a patched wine version from the solution described in this post?
