RoundShades Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Large downloads have higher chances of corruption. Can try another download. Alternatively, iirc, there is a link to direct download the update, let me find it and you can try overwriting it into your game directory, letting those files replace anything they request. Here it is, the link to a zipped full version of current game, courtesy of DoctorB0ng of ConstructiveTyranny. Assuming you are able to unzip it, it shouldn't be corrupt. If it says "archive is empty" or "zip folder is empty", that really just means it got corrupted in download. Hopefully, it won't get corrupt in download, but update this thread as to what happens. http://constructivetyranny.com/renx/Renegade_X_5.14.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted February 7, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's a known issue that some people have permission issues on the folder for RenX, but that's Windows, not us. Auto updater works fine so long as Windows doesnt stealthily stop it from doing things in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundShades Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ok so its my fault...nice "AUTO updater" "sry" Technically, it is the auto-updater's fault and the internet's fault. Won't lie. The internet, particularly packet loss and inconsistency in speed fluxing up and down, is what corrupts data in any file you can download from the internet, usually more frequently with files over 1.5g. The auto-updater is the bland man's script for getting the files on your computer, written in spare time by unpaid devs. Luckily, B0ng does have a side-link, and zips can also corrupt but you know immediately when they fail to unzip. Come to think of it, I know at least 1 other game that downloads packages in a zipped form before extracting and applying to the game folder. I will ask about that. EDIT: DoctorB0ng has a good point though: The launcher does an md5/sha checksum after the download completes There are 3 bars when the update starts. Downloading, applying, and checksum. If it corrupted, it is very much supposed to detect it during checksum. Don't know if it did or not or if Windows is to blame (it has been in the past, between admin privledges when installing and installing as a read-only directory for some unpredictable reason). So there may still be things to do, but glad to hear this link helped you fix it on your end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
