I am seriously angry! Just purchased the game, but I cannot install it. The DVD drive makes weird noises and that's that. It does work on my other PCs, but not on my gaming PC. And no, I do not have virtual drives installed.
I am 99% certain it has to do with the copy protection.
I tried updating the firmware of my drive: No go, and quite frankly I should not have to do this in the first place.
I find this totally unacceptable.
Obviously this is the only DVD I have problems with!

AHAHAHA..this is rich. Now my DVD drive is screwed!!!
So I swapped out DVD drives and guess what: The game won't run giving me a general protection fault!
Edit: I got it to work. My god, it's beautiful, BUT! My DVD drive is not working anymore. This must have something to do with the copy protection. The PC does not see the drive anymore. When I check in the CMOS, it is seen by the BIOS, but the naming, ie lettering is all weird and screwed up.
To clarify: When first tried to install BiA the drive made weird noises and nothing happend, so I put in other DVD's and everything was fine. Put back the BiA DVD,weird noise again and nothing happening. Anyhow, rebooted and suddenly the drive is a goner. Very, very weird!
Again, this is NOT acceptable!

Just saw the FAQ II. It states that the copy protection may conflict with some DVD drives. Unfortunately for me, I just noticed it written on the back of the box as well...in tiny letters haha
Oh well, that'll teach me. Still, is it possible that it actually damages your drive?!?! Too me it seems that way..............

All vid settings at high but somehow i still get some wierd textures sometimes. water suddenly grey stripes then back to normal but then the trees have stripes over the level. Then a arm when pointing to a direction has a stripe like its a arm of a stringpuppet?
the holes in the faces have been fixed with the 1.02 patch but not the texture failure every now and then...

(I am using WIN XP SP2 and latest nVidia drivers and 1.02 BiA) It does the video and sound for the first part of the intro chapter after load and Radioman wakes me up and I pick up my rifle, then the game crashes. Tried skipping the intro chapter and crashes right after load screen.
