I'm sorry about creating a new thread, but I seem to have isolated the problem.

It appears to be with the download server assigned to South African IP addresses. I'm constantly getting corruption warnings from the installer for parts 3 and 5.

Is it possible for anybody who's downloaded the game from GoG, and got it to work, to post the MD5 hash for each .bin file?

You can use this freeware checker, http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml

Please, I bought the game at launch, and I'm still unable to play. I would highly appreciate this.

Thanks a million.

Okay, after repeated downloads of parts 3 and 5, they consistently have the same MD5 hash. That MD5 hash is NOT the one you've posted Doofdilla.

This means that the files being served from the server to my IP address must be corrupted on the server.

Is there a possible workaround?

Is it maybe possible for you to privately upload / share parts 3 and 5 as a workaround? I paid for this game 5 days ago and I still can't play.

Needless to say, I'm a legit owner of the game.

I will forever be in your debt!


EDIT: The hashes I get are:

2-3 : A9DE4D0F049889766B22A1555190EBAB
2-5 : F5BBAD5172D7289D9DF022579D74C38F

No worries. Maybe somebody else could help.

I've downloaded them using both ways.

However, using the GOG Downloader ends up failing the integrity check, consistently. This is what led me to believe that it must be a corrupt file on the server.

No matter which download method I use, I get an integrity failure for just those two parts.

I don't know about the download speed you will get with it, but maybe you could try to use:

http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/

to trick it using a different download server.

I know it's Sunday but send a message to Support about it. They'll check the files.

I've sent multiple messages to support since Thursday. I've only heard back once - and they were simply asking whether the GOG Downloader decides to pause the download after a while automatically - indicating a corrupt file.

I said, "Yes." and I haven't heard back from them since. Since then I've sent a few messages, each time isolating the problem further in order to help them.

Nothing back. It's probably going to be super-slow, but I can give it a try.

EDIT: The account page you use to download the game runs in https. Meaning the VIP version of anonymous is required. I'm going to try another proxy, see what happens and report back.

EDIT2: Turns out that no proxy can access HTTPS :(
