Map Update Corrupt?

[Ellis]

I've twice downloaded the map update and both times get

'Some installation files are corrupt.
Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation'

On the second download I got this at the end of the extraction (I didn't record this info on the first try)

'Extracting Winter_589Harrods Landing.bmp
Extracting Winter_58Chambly.bmp
CRC failed in Winter_58Chambly.bmp
Unexpected end of archive'

Is the problem with me or you please?

It's a beautiful game by the way!

I encountered a similar problem that I attribute to an incomplete download. It appeared both times that my download stopped at about 60 Mb showing a complete download. Upon install I received the same file corruption error message.

check that your file has the size of the one on the server:
180,904,245

has anybody successfully installed it? If not I can delete the file and restart the upload.

I've deleted the previous downloads and I'm downloading it again now - about 1hr 15mins to go probably - I'll let you know what happens.

I tried to download three times yesterday from work.

I ended up aborting all three attempts. Although I was on a very high-speed line, the download rate was so slow that it would have taken 8-10 hours to complete the download.

Also, yesterday evening from home, this website was slow as could be. I would time-out just trying to connect.

I may attempt a download from home today/tomorrow. My cable connection from home is usually good enough (but it isn't as good as the bundled T3 at work).

My guess is either there was some bottleneck internet hop getting to the French server, or so many people were downloading that there was insufficient server bandwidth to accomodate everyone.

I finally succeeded in downloading the map update late last night - it took about 8 hours.
It installed it to BoA\Graphics\Regions with no problem.

the map update has been removed from the server, but will returns by monday with only the regions really needed.

stay tuned

Excellent.

FYI, noticed an 'issue' with the boundaries between two regions and their highlights when you hover over them. Specifically, Ramseur and Pine Creek - the highlight doesn't match the boundaries there. Not a biggie, but thought you might like to know if you are in the process of updating the maps.
