Hi, I just recently found out about Marble Blast Platinum and decided to try it, as the Marble Blast Ultra PC version's multiplayer seemed to get stale rather quickly. However, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, as Marble Blast Platinum has been installing for the last 2 hours now. I've been checking and everything is getting installed, but I don't understand why it would take this long when I can't find anyone else who has a problem with the install time.

Is there a problem with the download or something I did? Or is it just that I'm not patient enough?

(We have the first five posts require approval to combat bots spamming the forums, sorry for any confusion about that)

Chances are pretty good there is no issue with the download, our download server just isn't very fast. This server is located in London, so distance may make it a bit slower. If you leave it open for a while everything should download without much issue.

Over the 2 years (and a month) that I've used the launcher, I've installed MBP on at least 5 computers (only two of them actually being mine). I've had great connections and awful connections so I'm used to the launcher taking forever and taking no more than 5 minutes.
I've learned that if the installation is considerably slow, just let it run overnight or when you're out and about.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll go ahead and let it run in the background (PC fell asleep for the night so it's still running).

Also, sorry about the dual posts HiGuy. IT was my faulty for not seeing the obvious "Post requires moderation" at the top of the screen.
