Enhanced Edition Update -> pack0.dzip corrupt

Dear Support,

first I did try to install the EE using the launcher. The launcher did not start anymore Since I did not play for some time I thought ok, just reinstall. So I reinstalled and the game did download the EE right away. But now I get an error that "the source file is damaged" (pack0.dzip).

I can not start the game to download again. What shall I do now?

Cheers
Morgenstern

The problem with pack0.dzip is caused by a defective file in the pre-download: TW2EE_Patch-2.bin.

Get this file from http://en.thewitcher.com/ee_manual/ (click the "Part 2" link to download). Use it to replace the existing TW2EE_Patch-2.bin file.

At this point, your Launcher is broken, so you have to run the patch manually. The patch installer is "TW2EE_Patch.exe". Run it, and it will patch the game and fix the Launcher.

I have done this and the installer runs a little bit longer, but ends with the same problem. Does that mean I have to donwload every file now and try if it works ?

I have done this as well and it's still not working. also redownloaded the entire patch to no avail. any other suggestions?

Sounds like you may not have actually replaced the old file with the new one. Make sure you overwrite the old file with the newly downloaded one.

Other instances of the problem have been confined to just this file. But pack0.dzip is so huge that it has to span several .bin files, so you may have had a download problem on one or more other files.

You can get the checksums of the files you should have from this sticky:

http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29103-download-checksums-for-tw2ee/

Then you can use a program like md5summer to get checksums of the files you actually have, and compare the two.

I have downloaded now part 2-9 and the installer takes much longer. So it looks like wehave to download all single files...

 

[Morgenstern72]

It would have been great if there was a bittorrent version of the whole file. Or an ftp version. Something where checking the transfer is already included.

I've downloaded parts 1-9 all over again and the process still isn't fixed. How many do I actually NEED to replace? This is getting a bit ridiculous.

 

[Morgenstern72]

@Viper: I download now all single files since it did stop again. But it took much longer and yes, I have replaced the old files, could see this when trying to delete the old files while the installer was running and the error message was displayed (file 9 was in use).

If I set the checksum thing up properly, NONE of the files I've downloaded match with what's provided in the sticky. *sigh*, guess I may have to manually download it all...

I had to withdraw the list from the sticky. A lot of the files have been changed. I won't re-post until I'm sure I have a new set of all good files.
