Ok so I have had this problem, i have tried re-downloading and re-installing TCOS like 20 times. It Installs fine up to about 70% then it says that i failed to copy effects/sfx/foley.sbs, If i click retry then it is stuck on that forever. So i press ignore, then another one comes up for something else, I click ignore as well, now it is stuck on effects/sfx_footsteps.sbs.

I really don't know what else to do...any suggestions?

Well, just now i was able to ignore the sfx_footsteps problem, yet it is now stuck on the next extraction file.

I'm hoping I'm not the only one with these problems.

I just looked at another post with lots of people having the same problem and there doesn't seem to be a solution for it atm.

You have two choices now:

1. Wait for the fix

2. Buy the game it only costs about $5

IMO you have no idea about whats an FPS too. You should also ask others "whats an FPS" ?

FPS sands for (F)irst (P)erson (P)erspective and has nothing to do with a game is sandbox or not.

 Step 1: ) Attempt to install as normal

Step 2: ) Once you hit the error, leave the error open and don't press anything. Open up your C:\program files\TCOS folder and copy/paste everything to a new folder on your desktop

Step 3: ) Cancel the installation

Step 4: ) Cut/Paste the files from your new desktop folder back into your C:\Program files\TCOS folder

Step 5: ) Run sb_patch
