After the last patch, I've been finding my game plagued with what I believe are Fread errors that crash the game to the desktop either upon login or upon loading a map. It's completely random if it strikes through.
Anyway, I downloaded the fixer per forum suggestion, and after taking over an hour to scan, download and repair my installation, the errors persisted.
I uninstalled the game and redownloaded it. After another hour or so waiting, it finally downloads and immediately provides an error that the download is corrupt, then proceeds to automatically delete the download and restart.
Currently I'm waiting for it to download the game *again*, but this is becoming extremely frustrating. Especially since I've just paid into the Phoenix project.
Does anyone have any idea where these problems come from and how to work around them? Alternate downloads? A fixer program that works?
Thank you for whatever anyone can provide.

You can try to download the files individually by using this link - "http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/live/Game/File name.pak"
Example: "http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/live/Game/Objects.pak"
Also test your RAM I had the same problems with files getting corrupted constantly, turned out I had a bad stick of RAM, I changed it 3 days ago did not have another FREAD crash again.

Wanted to reply and tell you that you were right... turns out it WAS my RAM. Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it.

I thought this was an issue with my SDD (and considering the similarities, it might still be) but I run really tight RAM timings, perhaps that might be causing it for me. I've been having to run the repair tool every other week since open beta.

Run the repair tool multiple times, then when it gives you a clean bill of health copy the entire folder and put it somewhere else.
Then when you get the fread error just copy over the backup folder, bam.
