A Complication!

Having illicitly downloaded Fallout using Bit Torrent, my villainous activities were somewhat impeded when an unfortunate and unexpected problem presented itself.

I got back this afternoon to find the torrent successfully downloaded and WinRaR raring to extract. However, when the file was opened, my criminal mind boggled as (to my surprise) I did not see the friendly setup.exe amongst the vast array of exotic file types that I had come to expect and rely upon. Instead I was greeted with but three files, imaginitively named 'fallout.ccd' , 'fallout.img' and 'fallout.sub'. Crazy stuff. I have no idea how to work these files. All I want to do is install the game.

I would like very much to know how this problem can be overcome and how the game can be installed and playable with minimal effort. Minimal effort involves not having to go out and purchase the game, however cheap it may or may not be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: A Complication!

Its a CD image file.

Using that opens CD Image files.

Daemon Tools for example.

Re: A Complication!

Use nero to create a cd from the image. This creates a copy of the games cd.

Downloading a bin/cue is a good thing as opposed to a bad one. You certainly haven't dled the wrong thing (assuming you have a cd writer )

If you don't have a cd writer use daemon tools to create a virtual cd.

Re: A Complication!

if you dont want to use a cd writer to burn the img use a program called "winiso" to extract the file *(you're gonna need to crack winiso tho - otherwise you wont be able to extract large files)

Tis a challenge that most would not wish to complete too quickly for fear of being labelled a "Geek".

Re: A Complication!

Okay, I downloaded Daemon Tools and chose to 'mount' the 'image' on a 'virtual disk'. This seemed to do the trick because a friendly window popped up and I was able to install the game. Mission complete. World saved.

Thank you all very much for your help. <3
