Hey guys, I've tried downloading Wing Commander 3 a few times today and I've had some problems.
Not entirely sure if it's related to the game setup.exe or if it's just my computer.
Basically the first time I tried to download it I got a checksum error on chunk 9. I restarted the download and it finished, but then said the file was corrupt. I followed the steps online and since I was using the GOG downloader tool it said to try testing my hard drive for corruption and also a RAM memory test.
I ran the hard disk scan and sure enough it found some problems and it took several hours to complete, but I believe it was happy enough with itself that it booted back to Windows and things seem ok. I'm still having intermittent problems accessing certain folders on my computer, and so I'm not entirely convinced the hard disk problems have been fixed.
I haven't run the memory test yet but thats the next step.
I'm just writing to ask if anyone else is getting any kind of file corruption or Checksum errors when they go to download the game. If so then I'll try to download the game later when the files are fixed. If the files are fine and it's my computer then I will continue to analyse and attempt to fix my computer on my own.
Please get in touch if you have any information that can be useful.
