Problem using 1.13b patch

[rabit123]

From the newbie in the group;

Just installed The Blue and The Grey. I'm unable to get the AACW_Patch.zip file to unzip successfully. I get this message, "some data in your zip file is damaged. The crc is 5f5c182c but should be b3043972." I've downloaded the patch from the game site and the forum a few times. Always get the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Also, I have broadband service. Any idea why my download rate is a blazing 90 KB/sec?

Thanks for the assistance. Look forward to playing the game. Cheers.

Welcome to the Forum.

You should probably have posted this in the Tech Support forum

No idea what the problem is with your patch, but I can assure you there's nothing wrong with your download speed. I get the same slow download times, so it must be a bandwith issue with Ageod. BUt, as they say, good things are worth waiting for.

I was going to suggest you try the 1.12 patch, but it doesn't look liek you can get it off the forum -- the new one is stored inthe same location and with the same name as the old one.

Good luck getting it fixed. I'm sure Ageod can help you out -- they are very responsive.

Thanks all. Still rather baffling...

I'm in the USA, so I guess I can buy the slower d/l rate coming from Europe. I'm downloading the patch zip again today...at the same slooooooow speed. The file is taking about 20 minutes to d/l. But there is no interruption. The download finishes ok.

The game installed just fine. I cannot get the patch to unzip. I get the error message every time. Never had this problem with a zip file before. So I may be SOL.

I'll contact ageod if I still cannot unzip the patch. Cheers.

Thanks Gray_Lensman. I'm using winzip and have never had a problem downloading before.

Took your advice, told winzip to open the file, rather than save it, and it worked just fine. Not sure I understand why I was able to open ok, but kept getting a "damaged" file when trying to save to my HD?

But it's all water under the bridge. I'm off and running now!
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. Cheers.
