View Full Version : Impossible to Install Eve

So I have two partitions, one for my OS and one for my everything else. I have no space on my C: drive, yet EVE insists on installing there. If I set a different destination folder it shits its pants and says theres not enough room (5gb can't fit on 800 gb?) I think because it does a big install in a temp folder on C: then tries to do the rest on my D:


Am I going to have to install the game on my laptop (which just is 1 partition) then physically transfer the file over to my D: drive on this computer?

i think it will just require you not to be such a scrub.

You should probably not partition your drive in such a dumb fashion.

Partitioning it like that actually sounds like a pretty good idea, if it wasn't for the fact that it clearly breaks things.

Wouldn't that make it a terrible idea then?

i did that partition shit with one of my drives once, terrible idea. a lot of people say it's good, but a lot of people are absolutely retarded. the only reason to do it is if you have only one drive.

Even then it comes across all kinds of problems because programmers are rather short-sighted.

i agree completely! i ran into a few issues, not that many, but they were almost impossible to overcome most times. currently, i have a high speed OS drive that i only install problem apps on and high demand games that benefit from a fast drive, a large drive i install most things on, and a storage drive.

it's nice to have an OS on its own drive for sure, though. i could SEE doing it if you only have one drive, but the real solution is to get a second drive. it's not like HDDs are expensive anymore.

but I play sports a lot so I don't think donating plasma is good cause it wipes you out for a week or something, doesn't it?

All we get is a biscuit (cookie) for giving blood and the knowledge that you probably helped some: nicotine addicted, obese, alcoholic prick prolong his miserable existence.

Donating plasma isn't the same as donating blood. They take your blood out, filter it through a machine to get the plasma and put the left over shit and saline back inside of you. Then they give you like 40 bucks for the plasma. Or they did 9 years ago when I used to do that shit.

As long as you have good control and test within reasonable levels they will let you donate. Although I can't atm cause of tats.

I haven't donated plasma since like 2000 though when I was poor as fuck pre-military. Was a lot of niggers there. :(
