Patch not working
Patch not working
I just installed Ryzom on my computer, I then went through the entire patching sequence. It finished and had a button that said restart. It quit but nothing restarted, now I ran the program again and tried to connect, it went through my files again (I noticed a couple of the flashing lines mentioned bad checksum) then it said to restart for the patch to take effect. I've tried restarting both the program and my computer, and I've re-installed once. What is going on?
Re: Patch not working
If you haven't done so already, try disabling your antivirus software.
If you have no antivirus then make sure to get some and scan your system.
Ensure that you have adequate disk space on your system drive for temporary files and the like.
While patching make sure to stop other apps that may interfere.

Re: Patch not working
I have the same problem and none of these are the cause for it. Others are having this problem as well. Please stop suggesting the same empty methods over and over and let us know if the issue is being addressed.Zerlin wrote:If you haven't done so already, try disabling your antivirus software.

Re: Patch not working
A constant bad checksum is down to only a few things...
In most cases Game files youve downloaded are corrupt, can be caused by an intermittent internet connection, a fault in your ram, application interferance with whats held in your ram causing corruption when the file is moved from temp to the location you wanted it, or hard disk corruption.
To be safe you want 10gb+ free on your drive, depending on the size of your hdd and your recycle bin settings, windows will reserve a portion of your drive you dont see happen.
Closing all applications that are running in the system tray is always a good thing to try, this rules out many apps interfering with whats in memory as operations take place.
Depending on the quality of your net connection, the corruption may be occuring in the download process. Other than trying a full reinstall a few times, trying installing to different directory, and doing a tracert to the download servers, which i cant talk you through yet as i dont know the ip at this time, there isnt much else we can try here atm to test that.
Try running an error test on your ram to see if its causing the corruption. There are a lot of free memory diagnostic tools, if no errors are found then this can be ruled out as an issue. Try http://www.memtest.org/
Do a thorough scandisk, and then a full defrag. The corruption could be due to the game trying to install on a bad sector, a thorough scandisk will stop the application using this sector. Then the defrag will make sure all indexing on the drive is in order which could also be an issue.
