Sconik	Posted - 2008.06.11 00:14:00 - [1] The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or a virus. You may want to contact teh author of this installer to obtain a new copy. It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED). I've been getting this message ever since I unistalled Eve (because my game quit working on me) and tried to reinstall it. I've tried DLing both the premium and classic multiple times, and both give me this message. I've tried virus scanning to no avail, and I have no idea what the /NCRC command line is... Anyone able to help me with this? I miss Eve :(
Faithless F Absolutely No Retreat Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.11 00:19:00 - [2] I'm in the same boat you are with the exact same error message and it seems alot of ppl are having this problem as well. Funnily enough everything worked fine on my laptop...
Sconik	Posted - 2008.06.11 00:23:00 - [3] I've been surfing the forums for a few days now, and I've got nothing... somebody tried saying that downloading it in Internet Explorer might help, but it didn't... Hopefully they give us a solution soon... I've been watching that 70's show before I went to bed, lol, and their jokes can only go so far... lol, nvm it rocks.
Angelina DeCasta	Posted - 2008.06.11 00:48:00 - [4] Same here. I've tried uninstalling client and reinstalling Classic 56866, also Premium 56866. On three attempts I've gotten the same message. WTF???? I was all amped up for this expansion and NOTHING!!!!! Please HELP!!!! I'm just fortunate to have set a long skill. Been through expansion and patches before and learned lesson on that one. Still doesn't feel good to be on the outside looking in. Again..........PLEASE HELP!!!
eaio	Posted - 2008.06.11 09:42:00 - [5] Edited by: eaio on 11/06/2008 09:44:06 same here. it even shows when im trying to install oldest versions of eve. with /NCRC switch due extracting installer shows me: Error decompressing data!

MushMush Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.06.11 17:52:00 - [6] Well I have the same problem. I was really looking forward to the new patch, now I just feel let down by CCP. How can something as fundamental as a CRC fail make it through QA?
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.11 18:23:00 - [7] same stuff on my computer as well.. I could not auto patch.. cause the patch was corrupt... i could not manually patch.. cause Structures.res or something was corrupt.. and i can't do a full install cause the SHA-1 number don't match... Either we have done something horribly wrong.. or CCP have borked up big time... btw.. i'm loosing training on 4 accounts because of this bull#"&"
Messerschmitt facility Shinra Shinra Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.11 18:53:00 - [8] Originally by: MushMush Well I have the same problem. I was really looking forward to the new patch, now I just feel let down by CCP. How can something as fundamental as a CRC fail make it through QA? You do realise there are 25k players logged on the server?
MushMush Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.06.11 18:58:00 - [9] And as my money is just as good as yours, probably better as I have 3 accounts that means what?
Ame Nanaro	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:14:00 - [10] I am seeing the same problem, attempted to download the patch initially however this failed while patching resSOUND.stuff. Have tried downloading the full installer twice, first two attempts at installing both failed unpacking the same file. Am now trying the /NCRC workaround to see what happens...

Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:22:00 - [11] Edited by: Master Corruptor on 11/06/2008 19:25:24 Originally by: Ame Nanaro I am seeing the same problem, attempted to download the patch initially however this failed while patching resSOUND.stuff.

Looking forward to your reply... I was thinking of trying the same... but i feel better when i blame CCP :p edit Trying to download the client with the ''bit-torrent dna'' link ccp have...
Ame Nanaro	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:24:00 - [12] Yep, it's installed OK... If you're unsure how to do this -> Create a shortcut to the Eve installer. Right click and edit the shortcut properties. On the target tab scroll to the far right, past the quotes and add /NCRC. Worked fine after that for me. What a silly mistake to make tho :-P
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:29:00 - [13] I just tried it... and guess what... It didn't work on my machine... error message occured @ 77% while extracting res.stuff The error said as follows ''Error decompressing data! Corrupted installer?'' Really annoying...
MushMush Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:44:00 - [14] Exactly the same for me. This really sucks the big one. Any reply from CCP? Are you even looking at this?
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.11 19:47:00 - [15] Originally by: MushMush Exactly the same for me. This really sucks the big one. Any reply from CCP? Are you even looking at this? I doubt they would bother... Right now i'm doing a SHA-1 check just to be 100% sure... only downside is that it takes ages to check 1.2 gigabytes of data... Gonna give some feedback on it tomorrow though.. keep it up everyone.. together we WILL find a solution
aUTOKILL Invicta.	Posted - 2008.06.11 23:22:00 - [16] same problem. trying the NCRC thing. Downloaded the Classic client 2 times, the premium client 2 times, and even tried the bittorrent link they do download them same error all times. coundnt patch from my old eve file cause of the "cosmos.stuff file is corrupt/wrong"CRC Error
MushMush Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.06.11 23:40:00 - [17] Is everyone in this thread using 64-bit OS? Just wondered.

Kalralahr GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.06.11 23:49:00 - [19] First two downloads had SHA-1 mismatches. Third one matches and installed successfully. Could have been a download problem, or they could have just fixed the problem in the last hour.

Angelina DeCasta	Posted - 2008.06.12 01:31:00 - [21] Well, I uninstalled and deleted anything related to EVE. Removed all clients previously d/l'd, and decided to try and d/l again "Classic" with Mozilla. Crossed fingers and and began install of new client. I was fully expecting same error message again, but to my delight - THE DAMN THING WORKED! Woo-friggin-hoo!!! I tried not to get to excited as I hadn't actually logged into the game yet..... I am happy to say that I am once again part of the EVE universe. I mining I will go - just in time to change skill over too. I hope this works for all of you having the same problem.
aUTOKILL Invicta.	Posted - 2008.06.12 03:24:00 - [22] Edited by: aUTOKILL on 12/06/2008 03:27:15 downloaded classic client again, 3rd time downloading total, and... IT WORKED edit: doubleclicked the exe again and says the message lulz. but got eve installed :S ~~~~~~ doin it for the stats

CCP Tanis.	Posted - 2008.06.12 14:46:00 - [23] If you are having trouble with the patches or full installers from this site try downloading it from a friends house, or try a mirror. Try the following mirrors (note, these are NOT official mirrors): Softpedia Internode ____________________________ I break things. Tanis.

Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.12 18:02:00 - [24] ok i think i found the issue on MY computer... Seemed like two.. yes TWO of my ram chips where bad... i have removed them and all symptoms of error's have gone away... I advice everyone of you to do a memory check of some sort to make sure that your ram is allright...
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.12 18:14:00 - [25] sight... Just finished downloading the full install... again... No it was not my ram that caused it... cause the issue is still there... Gonna try one of the mirrors now
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.12 19:14:00 - [26] this is ****ing me off now... No links work at all on my computer... But it got to be something with my computer i guess... because it works fine on my second computer...
MushMush Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.06.13 01:05:00 - [27] The external mirrors worked for me on classic client which I was able to update in the game. Thank-you.
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.13 14:32:00 - [28] I have still not found any solution to this... But i'm suspecting really faulty hardwar on my side... cause i lost 2 gb of ram yesterday =(... Got to change my motherboard i guess... and then see.... Right now... I have no chance of installing either through patching or with the full install... no matter where i get the .exe's from
RaTTuS BIG	Posted - 2008.06.13 14:45:00 - [29] Memtest 1) slap your RAM back in , reboot machine with that CD in and see if it errors, ...
Master Corruptor	Posted - 2008.06.13 18:36:00 - [30] no need to do that... I have an on board diagnostics... with a display... As it goes through each of the booting stages it displays an unique code... and when the ram was gone it halted at a specific code... I have looked up the code and it said memory fault. It's really annoying when it happens... Cause the machine starts to emit crazy beeps and stuff all the time untill i remove the bad ram chip. But... enough of my problems... Have anyone found a ****ion to this dreaded problem ?? seems like no matter what i do, i get that stupid file corrupt and installer is borked error...
