Won't install

[gamebuyer22]

I have over 90 Steam games and I've never had this problem..


Usually when you install something it will bring up the install saying "Allocating Disk Space". Ok that doesn't finish and gets stuck after a few bars. However it fully installs in the background on Steam even though the allocation is frozen. When that's done I try to play and I just goes to the stuck allocation install. Basically can't play. Usually the allocation finishes then installs so this is weird. I tried different drives, I have more than enough space etc. Like I said no problems at all before this. I'm installing Metal Gear Rising now as normal. Unique problem with BC2.

Steam-Settings-Downloads-Clear Download Cache should fix this

i have the same problem here, but after trying to solve this, i found one solution.

When the "Allocating Disk Space" window bring up, it will stuck, but the game will install in background, when the game is downloading, you have to exit from steam and relaunch it and the window saying "Allocating Disk Space" will disapear.

Try this and sorry for my bad english :/

This worked for me, however... now I have a new problem. Now that the game is installed and all good, it won't launch because it can't request the key from steam. A lot of other who passed the installation have this problem.

Also having that exact same issue :'(

Thanks for the suggestions but clearing cache didn't help. I'll try the quitting out. However it seems that a lot of people are having problems with the CD key so seems we're SOL. I guess I'll request a refund.

It's too bad, I have the PS3 version of BC2 so I wanted to see how much better it was on PC.

I spoke with EA just now, they said within a few hours they will have the issue resolved

I think is the CD Key issue, because i'm having this issue too, and a lot of people.
Well, we'll have to wait.

And I just had a a load of coffee too!! Dam it lol

EDIT1: I can confirm the shutting steam down and restarting while it's still downloading does allow the install to work but I am now unable to get my cd key to start the game.

[Mbalmer]

I got it to install but am in the same boat as far as needing the cd key...
