OK well tried the manual install again, and it got past the first error message "old file one" and it is stuck at 96%, I have read that it takes a while for this to go through because of the size of the files it is extracting, but it has now been appx. 115mins, yep almost 2 hours and it is still stuck at 96%.
Can ANYONE please offer some advice? Obsidian guys? do you even read these anymore? Some help would be appreciated. I don't like buying a $40 beta....
