Having the same problem as a number of people.

Here are some screenshots http://imgur.com/a/HAEIS

1. Shows torrent is fully downloaded

2 & 3 show the errors when you try to do anything with the zip file

I will try the direct download version and see if that's any better

I am excited for this game, but imho its pretty damn important to get this part of the deal right. This is a persons first impressions of the game after shelling out their hard earned cash? Not good

1) How do I use the bittorrent? Do I need a special program??

2) I tried using the normal version but when I click on Overgwoth.exe in the WinZip file of the game it says I'm missing FreeImage.dll, so I looked around in the WinZip file and saw found it, but for some reason it still says it's missing from my computer!! So I can't play it I also tried looking at what OvergrowthWorker.exe is and it does the same thing! I then checked with Awesinium.exe is and it says Awesinium.dll is missing from my computer?! WHY?!?!?!?!

How do I fix this, please tell me

1) Yeah, you need a special torrent software. But I guess you already managed to download the game from question 2 so I won't link any.

2) You need to extract all files and folders from the winzip archive to another folder. Look at the "winzip file" as a closed bag where you can only retireve one item at a time. You basicly need to pour everything out on the floor so that the game can access everything at once. To do this, simply drag everything from the winzip archive to another folder. For example, you could create a folder on your desktop called Overgrowth, then drag and drop everything in there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Oops, I think the tree canyon level may still have a model in it which was deleted.
