I have returned to MWO after a months-long hiatus due to school. Disappointingly, it no longer works. I have totally erased every trace of MWO off of my hard drive and reinstalled it clean three times, each time getting a corrupt MD5 hash error when patching. I used the repair tool, which basically downloaded the whole game for me. I ran the repair tool a second time just to make sure, and it found no errors. The launcher indicated that my game was up to date, but upon clicking play it simply crashed. "FRead did not read expected number of byte from file, only 128 of 0 bytes read". Puzzled, I ran the repair tool a third time, which redownloaded almost everything. Then the game was finally playable, it seemed. I poked around and looked at the new content, then launched a game. When the game started, I got that good old FRead error again after I finished loading Forest Colony. And now, perhaps the best part, the repair tool crashes as soon as it starts to scan my MWO folder. I am close to giving up on this mess, I've wasted hours of my life trying to get this seemingly broken game to function. Having googled the problem, other people with similar errors seem to either be told to run the repair tool or receive no response. Please, please help.
