0 McKrout Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 im assuming your using winace, i had the same problem with something i recently isntalled. i had to download and use winrar to extract the files correctly. good luck. TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jayfer1 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 What are you using, WinAce or WinRar? If you know its good, try the other proggie and see if that works.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 im using winrar. im gonna install ace and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 still got the same error :( and i have a 5 gig bandwith cap so im not gonna d/l it again cause it worked for my friend so i dont see why it shouldnt work for me. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 McKrout Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 is it a multi rar file or just 1?? TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JHAres Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Maybe the file is compressed with a newer version of WinRar, have you the latest (I have 2.90)...??? :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 well theres cd 1 and cd2 in em are a .cue a .bin and a sfv the only files that dont wanna go are the bins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 yes mine is also 2.90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jayfer1 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 When you say it worked for your friend, do you mean 1) he d/l it also and it worked for him, then you d/l and it doesn't work.... or 2) did he d/l it and burn it to cd then you try to unrar and it doesn't work? Answer 1) I would guess corrupted d/l Answer 2) Iwould guess bad burn to cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 he downloaded it, then i got it from him the same files he used so there shouldnt be a problem, anyway i can fix this cause if not i just wasted bandwith for 1 month without having anything to show for it :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 YahoKa Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 If it says CRC error, you're missing part of the file or it is corrupted. If it is a multipart archive, you'll have to re-download the part that is corrupted. if you are unconvinced of WINRAR's ability to do a CRC, try using something like an SFV check or an MD5 check.

0 JHAres Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 There are a newer version of WinRar, 3.00... maybe that's the problem... download here... Hope helps... :D Edit: A version conflict with WinRar led me to CRC errors some time ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 new version didnt help but thanx for trying, and about those checks how do i do em and what do they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 YahoKa Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 it isn't winrar's fault: you have a corrupted file. You can take the MD5 value for your version and compare it to the version from wherever you downloaded it (get your friend to do a MD5 on his,) to see if they are the same. There are proggies that will do an MD5 for a file... just search on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are proggies that will do an MD5 for a file... just search on google. It's clear now, but some time ago, I downloaded a file compressed with 2.90 and I had installed 2.84, I get CRC errors. After upgrading to 2.90, the files were open fine... Remember this just in case... ;) You must pinpoint every possible cause... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 well thanx for all the help tommorow i will check if the files are the same, i hope i didnt waste my bandwith for the month cause then ill have nothing to do sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JHAres Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Found it.... Here you have the SFV checker... ... ;) Edit: Here is the latest version... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 just as i excpected only the .bin file is missing with the SFV checker, man i have been waiting to d/l this game forever oh well guess ill have to try and d/l it in a month :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 YahoKa Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Next time, download it in many parts so that you only have to redownload 1 15 mb part instead of the full 700 MBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pyro Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 its only 2 rars with 3 files for each rar, which include a .bin which is the biggest a sfv and a cue which are small so theres not much i can do about it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 McKrout Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 i can safely say that any game i play more than 1 or 2 days after i download, i will go buy it as soon as i get money for it. unfortanetly, im unemployed and i will have to wait to get a job to purchase my copy of warcraft 3, but as soon as i get the money im gonna get my hands on the collecters edetion. support the makers, that way they make more cool stuff for us to play.
