So, today I tried to install my copy of JA2. Multiple times. Every time I clicked install, it kept freezing until I took the disc out. I cleaned it off and tried it again about 8 different times. It finally installed, but took forever. Started it up, took a minute, but it worked fine. Played a little bit, saved, then quit for dinner. Came back, save games corrupt. Disc is borked.
Thank you to GOG for having a copy of JA2 that won't have this problem. As soon as I get paid, replacing it with a GOG copy that I can always redownload if somethings wrong.
