EoT file is...corrupt?

Post by Ashstaar »

I've dl'd it several times and I always get a error file is corrupt when I go to unzip the files.

What extracter are you using, WinRar or winzip?

Oh, i'd say one or two weeks now. I've had about 3 or 4 dl's that have done this. The dl does not break but when I try to extract/unzip...you know..

Redownload Winrar, or use PowerArchiver. There is a link under the "Utilities" section on the main page I think. Did you change anything in Winrar that would make it do this? (ie: cracked it?)

7zip can rar and unrar too. But this doesn't sound like a compression error. It sounds like you have either had a bad run of files, or you are corrupting them upon completion somehow. WinRAR has a repair function, so you can try that too. It repairs a number of error types, including some Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors.

EoT_data_files.whatever?not rar..corrupt..Well, I tried it all...I get this: CRC error, winrar can't repair Gzip. Power archiver?, same thing..When I go to download it though I get 2 types of DL. One for 7.59mb: this one breaks at about 3.69ish but can be partially repaired. then another for 7.64mb: this one will DL successfully but I only get one file when I open it and the file is corrupt. so...gzip?

I've encountered the same problem, the download breaking off early and the file being labelled "corrupt" by RAR.

Has anyone capable of fixing this checked into it? I tried the whole process again today, using both RAR and Powerarchiver. The results of both were the same: errors and an inability to open anything from the EOT meshes folder. I'd really love to look around at some of the stuff that's been created and use the EOT in Vvardenfell bolt-on, but with this problem, all I get are errors. Please help.

check if the file you have is the same as on the site (7,64 MB).
