Donald Trump Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hello thereforum. I cant get this game to run. I have downloaded the latest release. But my pc says i cant unzip RenegadeX-Open Beta 5G, because according to my pc its empty and I should move unzipped files to the folder first. So can anyone explain to me how that and help fix it? Thanks in advance I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted February 2, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hmm, sounds more like a faulty download. I know the game can be run in Win 10 because some people I know here uses that infernal contraption OS *Ahem* Anyway, what zipping program do you use? I'd recommend WinRAR above all else. Or 7z.

Ryz Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Where did you download the game, cause it has a selfextractor which also runs the installation without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundShades Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If the zip is being coy, then it's a faulty download. Besides, it's supposed to be a self launcher. Try again, perhaps from another download link, but if it fails consider using the Torrent link. Reason this happens, is because any download over 200mb is pretty much at risk for corruption when they download, depending on packet loss the risk can get higher. It basically loses track of what it has already received in download packets, and continues to accept them out of order, and it has some correction for margin of error, but too large of a file and too many times this happens, and you end up with a file that doesn't function or even knows what it's own self is. Torrent download by a torrent program (utorrent for instance, although I dislike them but any one will do) is able to scan itself as it downloads consistent to what the file should look like, and then run back over where it's missing data and download it to correct it. Roundabout anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded it from this website and more specifically Ren-X official Eu #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator testman Posted February 2, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2016 Did download go flawlessly? There is also torrent option, if you want to try it. I run latest build of Win10 and I had no problem installing or running RenX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded and used winrar in an attempt to unzip the file but that doesnt work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I dont know what that is about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trump Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thank you all for your support. I managed to solve my problems by installing winrar and unzipping until there was nothing left to unzip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted February 3, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 3, 2016 Reason why I use Internet Download Manager. Even with constant disconnection and everything, download runs fine with fine results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
