You're asking for the developers to add in a rather complex (programatically) process when it can be resolved simply by the user putting the first disk in again? While both disks contain data, only one contains the actual installer exe that is used to launch the installer process.Ĭopying this exe over to your machine, launching it locally, and then setting up a process to delete said installer after it's done is EXTREMELY tedious and completely uneeded. Conan's just being a stupid lunkhead barbarian for not only forcing me to juggle multiple DVDs, but also for not recognizing the disc when inserted in another drive. Just leave disc 1 in one drive and everything's fine.

The need to go back to disc 1 again is completely unneccessary.Īnd yeah, I remember Diablo 2 going through the same BS maneuver as well (as did Doom 3 I might add), but both of these games thankfully recognize multiple optical drives. Both discs are 'data' type discs like with WoW you don't actually need either of them to start the game once it's installed.Ĭase in point, once you start installation (with disc 1), it sits there for a LONG time copying stuff off of disc 1 before moving on to disc 2. Typically there is a 'play' or main disk (this would be disk 1) and then a data disk (disk 2). Thanks, yea, I got a good grasp of the concept yes. You DO realize how the installer works right?
