At least once every other week I have to run the repair tool in order to play (in some cases, to even LOG IN to the game).

The same file is corrupted every single time: textures.pak

I think it might have something to do with running MWO off of a Solid State Drive, as my drivers are updated within hours of a non-beta release.

My drive is an OCZ Agility 4 (2nd Gen Indilinx controller) 64GB

How many others are affected by this?

Negative. The one and only time I've had corruption problems was when I had a memory stick that was bad. After I replaced the RAM kit and it tested fine with MemTest86, I ran the repair tool and fixed the problem. I've run it a couple of times since with no corruption found. My main drive is a 256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD. Win7 and MW:O both reside on this drive. My document/data drive is a 3TB 7,200 RPM Seagate Barracuda hard drive.

I have the exact same drive. It used to work perfecetly then I accidently put the computer to sleep a few times and ever since then windows hangs on boot sometimes and I have to reset my PC. Its quite possible there is data corruption but ussualy they either work or die.

SSDs are pieces of **** in terms of reliability. My previous OCZ Vertrex died with 3 months and I did not put the computer to sleep once.

Havent had any SSD related MWO problems tho

OCZ has a worse track record for quality than any other SSD manufacturer. In general, SSDs are quite reliable.

I don't put computers to sleep or hibernate or whatever, and never have. Mine either are running at top speed (when I'm using them), or off (when I'm not using them). If I ever am forced to get a laptop, I would run it the same way.

Unfourtunately they are also the fastest and "snappiest" in terms of performace and reasnable priced. At least on my p8z77. I have used samsung and intel drives and they feel clunkier and much slower, coudlnt stand it. I dont know what the benchmarks say, but thats been my experience.

OCZs main problem was the extern bought SandForce controller they make the problems, like with Crucial they got a few models with SF controllers and they suck in persistence but now since the second generation of their own controller their quality and speed is in the same range as the samsung ssds.

Del your TExtures.pak and download it again from here: http://patcher.mwome...me/Textures.pak and paste it into the dir of your textures.pak.

You mean, like the repair tool does? The problem is the file is unstable, not that I can't replace it.
