I bought a new PC about a year ago and I've been trying to install this game on and off ever since. I always get the same error, to install disc2. Slitherine tech support tried to help me for a long time, but nothing worked so I gave up until I tried again today. Same error. There's a lot of computer savvy people, so I thought I'd possibly get some ideas posting this here. All my other Matrix/Slitherine games gave installed without any problems. I now have Windows 11.
Thanks.

Re: Install help.
This is really weird indeed. So you contacted support@slitherine.co.uk and they found no answer?
As a workaround, if you bought it at Slitherine, you are provided with a Steam key, and the installation method they use will be different.

Re: Install help.
Thank you for your quick response. However, I'm not a Steam user. I'll just keep playing Empires which is a great game. It appears you're working on an update for it. I'm really looking forward for that.

Re: Install help.
The error is almost always because the installer didn't download correctly.

Re: Install help.
Thanks,
How can I get the installer to download correctly? I've downloaded it around 10 times over the last year.

there might be another problem after this, which solved it partly for my 11 install.

Try a download manager if your connection can be flakey.stormbringer3 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2026 1:31 am Thanks,

Free Download Manager looks to be pretty popular
