This can be determined by many factors. To start the initial download is like 6GB and then you need to consider your wireless connection which you should never download on wifi as it is slow no matter your ISP. Also depends on if you have the right ports open on your router. If your NAT is limited, restricted, moderate, etc. this will cause delays in your download. There is also the fact of all the updates you will need to have before you can play this game. I would say the first time you get this game start the download and walk away because it will take quite a bit of time and space. Hope this helps and best of luck The game is great but the start takes some time. This can be determined by many factors.

If I'm remembering right, it's because the game is being updated from a server not related to Microsoft, and that server has (at least had) very limited bandwidth; also be prepared for the actual gameplay to be as slow and stuttering as the download.

Because it is an mmo and ALL MMOS have patchers. What you are on is a patcher, once it is done patching it will take you to the game. When there is a new update, it will take you to the patcher everytime.

I checked my harddrive archive and found a 20GB installation download with a UPlay code. Also my digital downloads on Amazon shows file size as 20GB, whereas other game code only games has a file size of 3-4KB. Neverthless, the code is a UPlay code and as far as I know, even if you don't have the installation files, when you enter the game code on UPlay, you (in your case your friend) will be install it through UPlay.

Hi sweetronna, my only suggestion would be to uninstall, then re-install the game. I haven't had any trouble and I too love this game. If you have other games and they are not affected, then try to uninstall then re-install. If you are having over-all program problems you might need a computer tech to help solve this.

Could be that you need to update your drivers. Or try reinstalling the game.

Kalipso discovered a problem with the Launcher in late 2014. Here's a link to a quick hotfix to restore Launcher functionality if you're affected by the startup issue:http://download.kalypsomedia.com/KalypsoTropico5Hotfix.exeIf you have done a full re-install, always make sure this hotfix is applied first, the Launcher will then start and prompt for any other game updates and patches that may be available.http://forum.kalypsomedia.com/showthread.php?tid=26031

Contact Origin directly for assistance. When downloading you had to 1st register with them, so they have all your games saved. Give it a try, hope this helps.

Sure does, running it right now. If you're loading up a big game it'll be a little slow to start but I've found that to be the case regardless of platform or OS. Hope this helps

Actually mine is on steam, though I did register it with Bioware and Origins took it as well. Thankfully it keeps me from ever losing it. :)

The cd inside will only point you to download steam it does not have the game. You will then have to create an account. After that you spend the next 3-6 hours waiting on the game to download from steam. Once downloaded you will have to launch the game through steam but, you are allowed to use it in "offline mode" if you do not want to stay connected to steam to play the game.

The compatibility is terrible and I couldn't get the main game or the expansion to work for a while. The problem is mainly activating the game itself (as there is a mod somewhere in the web that allows you start without GFWL and save games but has no MP). I found so many workarounds around the web and spent hours trying them all without being able to start the game. I gave up. and after a while I randomly selected the main game to launch and it surprisingly ran just fine. The expansion was more stubborn. It took a couple of months before it ran just fine on its own just like its big sister.If you're looking for minimal frustration with getting this game to work on Win8.1, RUN!

I bought it a long time ago and it didn't run on mine, either. But I recently saw it on Steam for a ridiculously low price, downloaded it and had no problems whatsoever. And I am still on Windows 7. Maybe it is something else with your system? Their support is pretty good. I think it lists the requirements on the game's page. I am just about to finish the second one...and my computer crashed. I hope I can fix it but if I have to play the second one from the top, I will. Both are great. The second is even better than the first.

You can redeem it on steam. If it takes 14hrs to download, then your internet is way too slow.

Yes, my boot times ran just under a minute, now it takes around 10 seconds to the sign in screen. Photoshop files almost POP up on the screen and even huge .psd files can be modified on the fly with no lag. SAWEET!!

I have windows only and I have only one copy of this game. I had to download all my games all over again after I had some work done on my computer 2 years back. I was able to do this by going to digital content under my account and I clicked on your games and software library than click download. once you buy your virtual copy of the game it will be in your amazon games and software library you can than download on all your devices.

You will have to register the code on the manual with your account online and it should be instant you just have to wait for how ever long it takes to install and update the game.
