NO NEED TO SHOUT even though i'm half deaf :D
did you have the game installed before then uninstalled it ?
hahaha sorry! i was desperate 🙂
I had the game installed, uninstalled it and installed it again
Also when i try to open the game directly i get an error that says "unable to start game, service initialization failed (0x0175dcbb)" and i checked my downloads file and i'm missing the msi.bin and i don't know how that happened or how to get it back :S

i understand 🙂 ...i would say you have left over files or registery still on the pc which is why you would have a problem with reinstalling
is it just the base game you have ? there is a how to manually uninstall i'l be back with a link for you
all i have on right now is the base game, figured i'd just try with the base game since it's easier to uninstall just one game haha

p.s.
if you have ccleaner (it's free if you need to know where to get that send me a pm) )run that as it will clean up the registry too

you got that right :D
Thank You!!!
Also i just did the ccleaner thing on my registry so should i uninstall again or should i try it and see if it works?

welcomes ^-^
two schools of thought on that 🙂 thought one if it was me i'd see what happens or as i call it hit and hope
thought two if it does'nt work you will have to uninsatll and reinstall again but at least you will know what to look for the leftover bits before reinstalling
