I have had to uninstall and reinstall eve at least 5 times since the Incarnia release. It seems like weekly I go to play and it tells me there are corrupt files...so I run the repair tool and it completes in like 5 seconds....then I get the same message about being corrupt and I have to uninstall ane reinstall the client completely to get the game to function.....
Could you please help with this? Why is it corrupting so often?
It takes over an hour to download the 4 gigs of data to re-install the game which virtually kills any chance of me playing until tomorrow....IF it isn't corrupted.... |

Corrupt files are in most cases caused by viruses or harddrive failure/fragmentation. I thus recommend you update your Anti-virus program and do a complete and thorough scan of all drives connected to the computer( network drives as well ) as well as de-fragmenting the harddrives to see if that helps.

I've done that...several times.
I'm a Network Admin. My computer is about as clean as you can find them.
I've also done the hard drive checks as well.
Next suggestion??
I just had to do ANOTHER full uninstall and full re-install. |

im having this same problem.
funniest thing is i have 6 clients, 3 of them give this error, the other 3 work just fine.... they all mirror the same folder so, how come one instance says files are corrupt but the other, using the same files, runs fine? |

I would guess, given that behaviour you have some form of memory corruption. I can't see any other way for the files to be loaded from disk, into memory (to be validated via checksum) and some subsequently throw an error and others do not. Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure |

Doesn't make sense to me. Not saying I have a better suggestion, but I think if it was memory it would only happen either randomly or on the clients that were loaded later. So if you run one that gives an error, reboot and try to run that installation FIRST, odds are if it were memory it wouldn't put it in the same corrupt sector.
To the OP: How many clients do you run? I would run a memory test, but I would be surprised if it came back with problems. What did you use to check your disk? Assuming you didn't run a proper check (sorry for the assumption) it is still very likely a disk problem. You could try getting a confirmed working client installed, copy it three times and see if they all break at the same time.
If they DO, then it's clearly not the disk. If they don't, use a hashing utility and see what changed? I guess that wouldn't really help you I suppose, but at least it's more info? |

Also how are you "mirroring" them? Are you using symlinks? Software Engineer, Core Infrastructure |
