View Full Version : What a Silly Stuck Up !!

Well,first of all Good Morning Guys !! Hope you are doing OK & Having a Nice Day so far :biggrin: What happened is a Silly thing but I had to post it down since I got stuck in the middle of something that happened for the first time in my PC !! Anyway,Its about when I download large Torrent Files such as Games,Movies .... etc,you know those large files especially games are being splitted into large number of tiny files that might count up to 70 Files,so what happens is that I always download those large files but the thing is that after the whole download is DONE !! I extract the files but then comes the silly RAR CRC check error message telling me that one of the files is Corrupted,however I do a "Force Recheck" after each torrent is done downloading !! now after this error shows up,I go again to utorrent & do the "Force Recheck" so that I make sure all missing files get redownloaded again,and that what happens,the torrent redownloads all missing files,and then it shows me "DONE" but the same thing happens over & over,every time I do "Force Recheck" there are still missing files so it just keeps downloading --> Force Recheck --> Redownloading & so on Like FOREVER !!! :rolling_eyes:

Dont know what might have caused this but you know its kinda Boring coz it took me a whole day with "Gears Of War" to redownload all missing files but nothing's changed,it just keeps redownloading missing files after its already showed as DONE 100%,I just do the Recheck to make sure that its Full Downloaded,but actually certain files are Like "Stuck as a Piss" that keep being missing all the time !! :confused2:


Here what Ive done as of possible solutions :

1. uninstalled winrar then reinstalled it.
2. reinstalled utorrent & azureus
3. changed the place where to save the downloaded files


Anyway,Hope some one would advise me on this issue since Its Boring Like Hell,Thanks in advance for any possible assistant,Have a good one :top:



Yours,
Reppy

Probably your RAM is dying. Thats the first thing you should check

Well,yeah that might be a good reason for the "File is Corrupted" but this is not the core problem,the thing is that the downloaded files after getting "DONE" I do Recheck to make sure they are fully downed but then there are always 2 missing files that keep redownloaded then the cycle goes around like this : DONE ---> Force Recheck ---> Missing Files ---> Redownload ---> DONE ---> and so on like forever :rolleyes2:

Well,I thought of doing that LOL but you know the game is 7GB & I already have download all parts without a glitch so they are just two files,could the source be that bad ??

Depends on the source.
I guess you downloaded it from BCG.

So have a look at the comments and look if someone has the same problem.

Yeah got it from BCG but the problem is that Ive downloaded 2 games earlier & nothing happened so its kinda "WTF,this SUX" :confused2:

for me it looks like either

* you have faulty ram, do a memtestx86 and if you get errors replace your memory chips
* if you use router - there may be a problem with it, specially if you have game mode (a.k.a DMZ) turned on, have a look at this uT faq entry (http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#I_get_tons_of_hashfails_on_my_torrents_and _the_torrent_never_finishes)
* worst case would be a malfunctioning modem... you'd have to ask your ISP for a new one

the likely culprit is because the files is probably corrupt.i have that problem sometimes, did you check if all the files has the same size if one of them has a different size that could be it..usually the last file is a different size..hope that helps..

Well,Ive checked about the DMZ option & found that it is already turned off by default !! also my modem is a 6 months old so it can be a malfunction since its working perfectly !! and about a faulty ram hmm,well it might be,however no sudden regular crashes :rolleyes2:

Now the size part,yeah I also noticed that one of the files is smaller than the others,the game is Gears Of War sized 7.9GB,split in 79 rar files,the smaller is no. 79 (their common size is 95MB & no. 79 is 90MB solely !!

which specific files does uT re-download all over again?

if the last files is small than it should be ok but it has to be the last one..i still believe that one of the rar files are corrupted , when you unrar them it tell you which files is not working that should be the problem files. Maybe the person who uploaded does not know that it is corrupted...

he would most likely have been told about it, and the .torrent removed :biggrin:

now i think it, it could also be a hdd issue... reppy, can you post a screenshot of your azureus and uT disk cache config? or maybe other peers are intentionally sending you bad data. do you use a ip blocker (peerguardian, etc.) with an up-to-date blocklist?

Problem Solved !!

I cant believe that it got working using a very n00by technique,here is what I did,Ive just opened the very first rar file using "open with" then selecting winrar.exe from C:\program files\winrar "setup directory" then extracted the file to another drive than the first one Ive tried to extract in & it worked,now I have the complete .iso file & im installing the game normally :biggrin:

P.S now Im having another problem with the setup process,the game goes through the setup very normally,then at the very last stage of the setup,after copying files & finishing the most importatn stages of the setup,comes a stage called "decompressing files",the thing is that the loading bar increases normally through this stage till certain point (I think @ 70% of that stage) the loaded bars stalls/freeze then nothing happens at all,Ive tried to reinstall the game for several times but its still not working (for sure deleted my temp & cache folders for clean install)

Thanks alot guys for paying attention & following up with me regarding my problem :top:

how much time have you given it to finish? is is completely frozen/hung (doesn't react, and when you click it the whole window turns white and your mouse cursor into an hourglass) or just doesn't go past 70%? any error messages? maybe you don't have enough HDD space and/or memory?

Well,I gave it all the time it might need to finish installation (however Im very sure it wont take that time but I waited till it progresses but nothing happend) and yeah when I got bored I clicked cancel then the setup window hanged up & the mouse cursor turned into an hourglass = not respending

what do you have in mind ??

anon
24.06.08, 23:53
maybe some of the programs running in the background are interfering... what antivirus and firewall do you use? you could try to install the game in safe mode, where there'd be nothing running. just in case you could also run a chkdsk in the drive you're installing the game on...

Aurion
25.06.08, 01:11
LOL man my HDD is a 6 months brand new 320GB HDD so its impossible to be the cause !! btw about my RAMs Ive just got 2 brand new kingstone 1Gb each rams today and im installing the game while this reply is posted to see if rams was the baddies :confused2:

hey reppy , maybe you should stop downloading too much Pron, that'S why your having so much problem with you computer:biggrin:

i agree with anon , probably you have a antivirus and firewall issues somtimes that can cause that..

nah,dont worry im not that heavy porn download,im into EDM actually,and guess what im not using any antivirus nor firewall at the moment !!

EDIT: Guys,I cant believe it,the game is done installing now,as you mentioned earlier *anon* I had to give it some quite longer time (im still feeling very strange since I got 3GB bus 800 rams DDR2 + 3.0GB Processor with 4MB cache speed)

Anyway,thanks once again guys for your help & support,really appreciated :top:

yep, glad you got it solved buddy..must have been a headache for you

Aurion
26.06.08, 19:30
Yeah a fucking long headache since I heard lots of good reviews about that game !!

@ anon: It took around 25 minutes to get done installing but I have read some posts around that it is taking this amount of time already for installation !!


EDIT: Now the game is installed succefully but when I run the game it starts up normally without any glitches,but once I choose to start the campaign with my created profile,the game just lead me to the loading page,however the game just shut down to desktop giving me this fucking silly erro "C++ Runtime error,the game encountered a problem & needs to close down (something like that)" I updated my Runtime Libraries,my VGA Driver to the latest but still cant manage to play the game !! :icon_angry[1]:

anon
26.06.08, 19:41
I updated my Runtime Libraries

which runtimes did you update? try installing this pack (http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe)...

Aurion
27.06.08, 16:04
I unstalled this pack "vrcedist x86" from microsoft downloads section !! anyway,gonna try your pack :top:

man it's one those thing sometimes that we cant resolved so when everything fails start from scratch

like this shutdown problem that is keeping me desperate... if i click "turn off computer" in the start menu, explorer freezes. i can open task manager (but can't see it) and kill explorer.exe, but when it runs again the same happens... trying to bring up the turn off comp dialog by other means effectively freezes the computer (can't open task mgr).

and if i try to shutdown/reboot pressing the power-on button once or using a shortcut, half the times it takes like five minutes to do so, and the other half it will stay at "Windows is Shutting Down" FOREVER.

-_-

30.06.08, 13:42
Well,Ive tried your runtime fix anon but its still not working,Ive read lots of replies/reviews on Epic Forums that there is a Bug with the latest patch & the game isnt stable enough yet,however,some other users managed to finish up the game without any glitches :confused2:anyway,im seeding the game rightnow,hopefully it will work later by magic powers LOL :biggrin:


@ anon: I had a slight issue like yours before dude & ive used some registery tweak (coded as a spyware packer ---> way strange to me,but It fixed lots of things that bugged up my PC before such as : no access to tast manager,restart/shutdown modes window,autoruns scripts that shutdown local drives ... etc) check your PM anon :top:

anon
07.07.08, 23:36
sorry for bump ;)

tried the combofix (thx :top:) and it speeded shutdown up a bit but...

it was that i had renamed wuauclt.exe to something else to avoid being bugged by microsoft update "restart now" prompts and countdowns that caused the slowdown :redface: gave it its original name, rebooted and now it takes seconds to logoff/restart/shutdown :biggrin:

just posting this in case someone else has this kind of shutdown problems :) another process may have renamed the EXE instead for example... :top:

Aurion
08.07.08, 05:53
Good it worked for ya,that Combofix thing came across it 1 year ago & every time I have something fishy with my OS,I just turn into safe mode,run it & say "Hello" to a fresh new OS as if already been installed :biggrin:

Try unpacking it at another computer? Btw... I've heard the game itself also got some errors (first mission or so). I got a registry file to fix it. If you are having problems, pm me :)
