I've tried downloading the game three times, and each time it says that the Zip file is corrupt. I disabled my anti-virus and tried to download again, encase it was affecting it, but still nothing.

I've tried downloading the game three times, and each time it says that the Zip file is corrupt. I disabled my anti-virus and tried to download again, encase it was affecting it, but still nothing. I just downloaded the v3.21 Full zip and uncompressed the archive and tried to run the executable. Everything worked fine, so the package integrity wasn't compromised by the upload. A couple things you can try are: 1) Delete and clear all your temp settings and files for your internet browser. Depending on what browser you use this will be different. 2) Try using a different program to unzip the archive. I use 7zip to both make the archive and test it since it's free and open source . Get that program here: www.7-zip.org/Good luck, and let me know if either of those things work. |

That's the strange thing, though. I've downloaded 3.13, and it opened fine.

The same thing happened to me, too. Windows' built-in zip file manager says that the file is corrupt, but I tried extracting it with 7zip and the extracted .exe file worked fine.

Yeah DJC, i had the exact same problem. Couldn't open up the zip file using winzip, or another free zip program I have. If I were you, I might try re-zipping the files using a different program, to save some people the headache of having to try different zip programs to find one that will work (I ended up using 7-zip).

Good suggestion and I went ahead and re-zipped the main install with Windows default archive tool. I don't really have time to do this for all the downloads that use archives right now. People really ought to use an alternative program, but for the main install I agree convenience is more important considering prospective players will likely give up as soon as the extraction fails. I'm not sure what's the problem with compatibility this time around, the format and compression techniques are supposed to be standardized. Thanks to everyone who reported this and kept bugging me so I could and eventually would get it fixed. |
