installing the game

hello, im new here and after i DL the game and started installing when it gets to extracting data.saf it says some files are corrupted and it tells me to DL the game again and try again. anyone know whats going on?

/moved, next time post under the right thread

the technical explanation - the MD5 checksum did not match up

the why - during the download, the data being received was interrupted in some way causing the download to be corrupt

the solution - download the installer again

the only download options right now are the main one - Battle For Dwater at MegaUpload

and a file I uploaded as an alternate - Battle For Dwater at Filefactory

ill try, thank you @ GMSober lol i scrolled past it like 10 times i didnt even see tech help

it didnt work. norton detected a threat and it didnt work i guess i will never be able to play shalya again

yeah mega upload has been downloading viruses lately so definitely change sites

the upload itself on megaupload is not infected, but this is a danger from almost any file-sharing medium - you allow one download, so a few more must be "ok"

what is usually getting downloaded in the background are spyware: dataminers, tracking cookies, etc

norton and the like use a virus/trojan signature for them even though they are not

now - what I would still like to do is to evaluate how much bandwidth is required for a month for downloading. I don't know of if our host has a bandwidth x-amount or not, most do. I think the downloading from the host would be faster & more stable, but here's an idea of bandwidth required:

• The size of the file on-disk is 890MB
• Let's say we have an average of 20 new players a month
• That would be 17.38GB of transfer per month in downloads only (890 * 20 / 1024 = 17.3828125)
• That isn't including bandwidth for the site.

I fully support moving the file to our host, possibly zipped. GMs just need to evaluate based on the hosting package if that's feasible.

I've also downloaded the file from megaupload twice, with nothing 'extra' coming with it. I don't use IE. I run firefox with the no-script and ad-block add-ons.

This is my first time trying in a day or so and norton still see the file as a threat. Are you guys sure this file wont destroy my computer?

i give you my personal word

yep trash cats word haha
