Hi everyone,

I've downloaded all seven split files of INF 2.85 UMOD. Unpacked them and started the batch file which is in the last packet. It created one big Zip file but I couldn't open it with Winzip. Winzip stated that it isn't a valid archive file. Has anyone faced with this problem before? Please help.

No please, this can't be happening!!!!!

Just like you, folks. I wonder what the f**k happened this time... Why do you let these things happend to 56k people? PLEASE TELL US WHAT TO DO!!!!

Just one more thing: the file is actually a .umod in the first place. But don't get excited, it won't work either, so, again, what was wrong?
 
I have a nice stable download on quake.hal-pc.org

its on a OC3, and in Housotn TX with several peer points to it :)

another solution please.

Tks for the post, but I'd like someone responsible for the upload of the wrong files to give us another solution. I spend the whole day connected and that means money in Argentina.

How about this?

IMHO, the INF people could tell us in which packet the bug is. So that we can just download the wrong packet instead of all and enjoy the new version of Infiltration.

Same problem as these people

Check out "split umod 285 it dont add up".
Yes I agree with the lot of you ,the split umod files need to be cured ,fixed ,redone or whatever to make it possible for us to play and enjoy 2.85 and now 2.85.2 Infiltration as soon as possible.

last resort

if you guys are getting a bad crc error while trying to unzip and have exhausted all other possibilities, ask yourself if your computer is overclocked in any way. i ended up slowing down my fsb for unzipping and that REALLY solved my problem. Try a software like SoftFSB. Good luck.. hope I solved someone's problems.

Sorry but, I don't agree with you Vengeance

First, I have to state that I haven't overclocked my system. It's an Intel P3 866@866.
Second, the final size of the merged zip file is just about 54 MB. I don't think that this size of a file is dependent to the speed of the FSB in order to be processed correctly if it is a stable system. My system is stable. Besides the data processing capacity of todays computers is much more than 54 MB. ;)
I believe that, we still need a solution by downloading -I hope :) - few packets instead of all.

Likewise

Stable system,not overclocked in any way,for myself I downloaded Inf 2.80 exactly the same way without any problems.I think the problem is in the 2.85 split files themselves.

Question for all,does the No 7 file appear to be too small? I ask this as all the rest hover around 8+ megs yet 7 is only around 5+ megs,could this be the source of our trouble? Like could they have forgoten to include all the data!!

You could be right !!!

CAF, maybe you could be right about the size of the last package. Indeed the sum of all packets doesn't sum up to 56 MBs. Hey INF people, where are our data? :)
Everyone can download the split packets for the maps without hesitations they work correctly. Everything works fine with them. So I have for INF 2.85 its maps but not the program itself. :rolleyes:

Hey thanks Koray Tuna ,I was worried that it would happen to the maps as well. Some good info on 2.85. Now if we could just find our missing MBs
[Really big hint Inf team OK] we could actually get around to playing Inf 2.85.

seriously annoying

Ok, i also downloaded the 7 files and my crap 56k almost died. I suggest someone emails the inf people asking whats going on, cause i sure as hell am not having 54 megabytes of worthless rubbish on my hard drive. Anyways, i have already emailed them and have had no reply. I'll post the repley when (and if) i get one. till then its gonna have to be counter-strike all the way. :eek: :D :eek: :D :rolleyes: :cool:

Hey- sorry for the inconvenience. We've uploaded brand new split files that we know will work. Once you've downloaded all split files in the group to the same directory, choose the last file and open it. Then simply extract the UMOD or manual contents as instructed in the appropriate section of the online manual.
