Corrupt file...

Post by Tamarica »

A friend and I are trying to get in on this great shard ( at least it sounds great) however every time she downloads the file she gets a corrupt file message. I myself have not tried to download it after her problems. We are currently patched to 6.0 so we can not even log into the shard.
We are currently playing on a shard that we believe is about to be history so we really want to find a new home. After looking through MANY shards this one seems to suit us the best. So I do hope somebody can help us with the corrupt file problem. Thank you in advance for any help provided.

Which file is this, the ~600MB client bundle?

Yes it was the bundle that gave the corrupt message.

Only thing I could recommend is to get a download manager to make sure there isn't any information getting lost in the transfer. :\

hm also make sure you are routing to the uoex v. of UO and its not confused b/c it sees 2 different installments of UO.

Hmm, possible that the file server got some bits scrambled. Just downloading it now, if it's bad then i'll re-upload it. Will keep you updated so that you can get in the game asap, though i would say it's not going to be for at least an hour.

I am in game now even with the corrupt file. Turns out I actually made an account 54 days ago but was never able to play it. So I am a young player without the young title which is confusing people. I feel I wont get helped as much as such since I don't have the title so hopefully I can figure everything out hehe.

It is actually using things from the other shard I was playing on even though I have it pointed to this shard file. I tried to open the actual file instead of using razor but it said it could not read fonts file. So for now I will be playing with different settings it seems.

Well still no new file to download I guess. :(
On the bright side I was complaining that I no longer had young player status because of me making (but not being able to play) this account so long ago, and therefor could not get into new player places such as new player dungeon and my husband (who also will be playing here) said he will take the account I am on now for his own so that I can make a different one for myself. So hopefully there will be no problem with that and I will be able to do the new player things and we will both still have accounts. Hopefully I get the file to DL soon because I have none of the custom things since the DL stopped when it said corrupted.

If there is no good news from the man upstairs soon I'd be willing to make a .torrent of the file (or whole package if need be) so you can be sure of the file(s) integrity.

By the way, what's the character names of you and your buddy? There is a Youth Center here ran by players, where donated items are handed out to the youngin's. I'd be more than happy to give you guys some gear. :dance

Not sure what he will name his since he is taking over the account that cant have young status but I am sure the character I made will be deleted ....doesn't want to be a girl pfffft. My name however will be Tamarica , My friends name that is also waiting on the correct file is Jandra so if you see us in game say hello =)
