Moon2587 1 Posted September 14, 2012 I have been trying to install the Steam Beta and so far it isn't working. I'm running as administrator, 32bit windows 7, and trying to start the game says it can't read the file or that I might not have permissions. I have tried re-downloading 2 times and reinstalling as many and still no success. Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anton-korduan 10 Posted September 15, 2012 Maybe try right-clicking on the file and open as administrator? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of us here may have bought it from the BI store (so no experience with the Steam installation of CC), therefore I recommend you to also ask the Steam support/Fora.

Splunkjamma 10 Posted September 15, 2012 I believe you can't get access to the beta via steam as I thought you could, so I ended up buying another copy from the BI store. I posted this thread on the subject http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?139446-Pre-ordered-on-steam-Do-I-qualify-for-the-beta Cheers, Splunk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon2587 1 Posted September 16, 2012 Well it seems avg was running in the background and is grabbing the game files for some reason. Shutting down the processes manually allowed the game to start. Now the only problem I am having is graphically. I can see everything long distence just fine but getting close causes them to go invisible. What is weird is shooting terrain with the walrus cannon or the plasma cannon causes the terrain to reappear while the explosion animation plays but then it disappears again. So first person, at the moment, is useless. Other then that it plays quite well with no problems; maybe the next beta will fix the problem if others have had it. If not my specs are: Intel® Core 2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz Ram 3GB 32-bit Windows 7 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
