Hak Download Will Not Verify

Unread post by Step_Mac »

Whatever the new update is, it's not working for me -- it downloads, but gives the message "verification failed." As such, I can't play, and my world is crumbling around my head.

It appears to be downloading as a file with extension .lzma rather than .hak:

Since i am having the same problem, can we manually turn it into a .hak file renaming it? Should it work fine then?

I've tried, and failed. It keeps overwriting the edited file when I log on.

I'll note that I'm using a Mac, which isn't always as happy to edit file extensions as a PC, of course.

And a last, sad update: I manually decompressed the .lzma file (it's a compression format) which produced a proper file with the .hak extension.

And the updater overwrote it.

I have to restart my computer to get the file to download.

once I restart my whole computer from a powerdown, i log in and it seams to find the right place to put the file.

Here's a link where you can download the requested file and put it manually in the "hak" folder.

Thanks to "Lux" for the link and file!

Endelyon believes she's figured it out. There was a typo in some .xml code. After the next reset, everything should download correctly.

Please let us know if it does not.

Is there a workaround? I've put this file into my hak folder but it's still trying to download / override it when I login?

It's because an update is sitting in the FTP waiting to be deployed. You'll be able to connect after the server resets in about 30 minutes.
