Hi, basically, I had this problem:

I'd playing for about 2 hours, earning some monies. Decided to restart the client, then got this error (0 of 128 bytes error on log-in):

http://mwomercs.com/.../page__st__180p

I'd previously suffered a corrupted Objects.pak file after a patch update, so I checked my .pak files and sure enough Objects.pak was corrupted:

CRC failed in 'Objects\characters\pilot\pilot_dif.dds'. FIle is broken.

Re-downloaded Objects.pak and tested that with 7-zip, no errors. Copied (not moved) on top of the broken one and I was able to log-in again.

Closed the client, retested that file, now got this error:

CRC failed in 'Objects\mechs\cataphract\body\cataphract_body_dif.dds' FIle is broken.

Went back to the freshly downloaded Objects.pat, retested, and is fine. Something is corrupting this file!

Copied the fresh Objects.pak over the corrupted one again, logged in, closed, now this:

CRC failed in 'Objects\mechs\hunchback\body\hunchback_body_damage.dds' FIle is broken.

I'm not sure where to go from here. I'll back-up all of my .pak files, including the fresh Objects.pak, so that I can at least get the game started, but what is corrupting the Objects.pak file on a simple start and shut-down of the client?

I thought I'd try and narrow down when it's happening.

Double-click launcher, patcher on-screen: no errors
Click play, log-in prompt on-screen: no errors
Log-in, wait a bit: no errors (good news as it suggests I can at least copy a fresh Objects.pak and then play normally)
Use the blue menu button to log-out: no errors
Close the client with the red-cross: no errors (stupid random bugs!)

So looks to be not happening all the time.

Hi,

Just patched. I had previously set all .pak files to read-only, on advice that this might help, so unset this on them first.

First thing I did was check them with 7-Zip.

Got this report:

Got the CRC failed report for the following files:

Libs\UI\FrontEnd\Media\IntroLogin_xvid.usm (in Bumpers.pak)
Objects\environments\frontend\mechlab_a\mechbay_gantry\mechbay_gantry_a_sdf.dds (in Objects.pak)

I would send you those two specific files, except I can't extract them from the pak! Both 7-ZIp and WinRar can't extract them because....they complain that they are corrupt

Downloading Bumpers.pak is one thing, it's "just" 63 MB. But now I have to download Objects.pak, again, and it's over 600 MB. It might be worthwhile splitting that file up into several smaller files.
