Cant download Advanced Warfare.

[Sad panda :(]

I can download other games, update other games, however I can not download Advanced Warfare. Whenever I try I get an error message before I can click finish on the pre-download window that pops up, that says "An error occurred while installing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Multiplayer (connection Time out) At first I thought maybe it is because the Pre-Load is broken or something, but now it should be out for me as I pre-ordered it. any ideas?

iam getting the samething i was up all last night trying to fix this problem , i woke up thinking the same thing it might be bugged but still nothing
whats going on ???

If it's connection time-out then it's highly likely down to the net being busy - you can bet tons of people are hitting this like crazy.

You can either wait until later, or try choosing another download region (under "Steam" at the very top left of this UI, then "Settings"). You don't need to choose a location that's geographically near to you, in fact it's often better to go for one a LONG way away.

i have tryed that went to settings, downloads and changed it and it still wont work... im starting to think that the cd key is to blame but iam trying something else...

Well, my problem was COD AW refused to install from disc due to constant time out so I changed my download region in Steam from where I am (Australia) to a country in SE Asia (eg Thailand) and it's now installing with no problems.

The CD key is not to blame, as it would otherwise state a message along those lines. If you're downloading direct from Steam, then this isn't even relevant.

As I said, IF the region doesn't help then it's fairly obvious it's going to be congestion - all you can do is wait and keep trying.

Also, note that if it doesn't work for one region, it's silly to leave it at that - there are over 90 different regions to try.

Aye, sadly it is. Douly so when you consider buying on release - that's when congestion is going to be at it's peak and for a substantial length of time.

hey i have been trying to get codAW to work all last night from 12am and wen i woke up at 7am and its 12:55 for some reason the game is working now and i dont no why. i have tryed copying the files from the 6 cds to a file on the computer, changing the downloading area from aus QLD to many states, running it in admin, installing with the internet off, and many many more... i still dont no why its working, but im starting to think next time the new cod comes out im not going to the midnight Launch...

I also was having trouble installing AW from Australia, since selecting a different location it has create the cache files and is now installing from DVD , thank you for that great advice crunchyfrog :)

Glad it helped!

Sometimes a bit of lateral thinking and experimentation helps. Found this out a few years ago :)
