When I first tried to install I was trying it from the zip file in Windows XP. It stuck on the:
Building data. This may take a while. It quit moving. There is not a way to cancel the install. The X box is gray and so is the cancel button. So I did a End Task.

I extracted the files and did the install again and it worked fine.

After getting into the game and creating a login. The patch started to download. I walked away and came back to a WorldShift Setup screen again. I clicked ok and it started to install what looks like the patch. However it is stuck at the same place I got stuck at when I was trying to install the first time.

Did EndTask again, went back to WorldShift folder to start the game again and I get a black box on my screen and it will not start the game.

Will restart computer and see what happens.

After restart. I started up the game and am now at beginning options screen. So the patch worked but locked up when it should of given me a finish button.

The "Building Data" step takes a long time to complete. Your only bet is to leave it unless your task manager says not responding. It took 20 minutes for my computer to complete the building data part on both the game install and patch.

OKay .. this is known issue. Building data sometimes can take extremely long time (up to 10 minutes). So, please re-install the game and let it finish.

On my second try it only took seconds and finished in a normal amount of time. Also when I restarted after it tried to patch it was done and let me into the game. So there is a problem in there somewhere.
