    Question Silver Chaos - Broken Files?

    Hello, I have been trying to get Silver Chaos to work for a couple of days now but the same problem keeps happening. I go to unzip the file and everything works well until it gets near the end and it lags. An error message appears at the bottom saying that file whatever is broken. Then the zip file freezes, just the file, the rest of the computer works fine, and I can't do anything with it.

    Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    *I also changed the locale to Japanese before installing the files.
    **I run on a windows 8

    Where did you download your Silver Chaos ZIP from?

    It's hard to compare, as mine was 3 files approximately 200MB each (last one was 43mb).

    It's possible the file might be corrupt... Let's start first by asking if you have one file, or multiple files.

    Then, what unzipping program are you using?

    I got it off of MediaFire, the links came from the games download thread here on AF. A few were dead, so I just picked one that worked. There were 3 game files - I downloaded the first and second but deleted them after the files wouldn't work, an English patch, and the glitch 1.2 file - I think those unzipped fine but I don't remember.

    I'm using 7-Zip File Manager.

    Huh, okay.

    Well, try this post:
    http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f145/t...ml#post4116434

    It has links to it uploaded on Mega. Re-download the three files (200mb, 200mb, 42mb) and then the English patch again. Try those instead.

    Files are still breaking, but at least it's the same two files that are breaking now.

    The file names [and location] are:
    File 1 –
    silverchaos
    ¥disc1¥pack¥VDATA.com

    File 2 -
    silverchaos
    ¥disc1¥pack¥VDATA.com
    silverchaos¥disc1¥pack¥BGDATA.com

    File 3 -
    silverchaos¥disc1¥pack¥BGDATA.com

    The 1.2 and patch downloaded without a hitch, the VDATA and BGDATA are the problem children. Do you know what these files are?

    VDATA is the Voices, and BGDATA is the CG backgrounds (Not the CG scenes with characters).

    As for them being problem children... I think I might see where the issue is. VDATA is over 215 MB big, and half of the file is contained in "SilverChaos.part1.rar", while the other half is contained in "SilverChaos.part2.rar". Conversely, BGDATA is 82MB, and is split between "SilverChaos.part2.rar" and "Silverchaos.part3.rar".

    I'm not sure if your 7-Zip is patching all 3 RAR files together in order to extract them properly.

    This can be caused by any number of things... Such as:
    - the "SilverChaos.partX.rar" files aren't all in the same folder together
    - they're in a protected/system folder
    - they're extracting to a protected/system folder
    - they're being blocked by an Antivirus or Antispam/malware program

    Would you be able to take a screenshot of the error, or write out what the error message states? I'm sorry this is taking a while to diagnose. Hopefully we'll get it licked!

    For some reason, file 1 unzipped beautifully this time. I'm still getting the same errors with files 2 [first pic] and 3 [second pic] though.

    No need to apologize, I'm sure we'll figure it out.

    Hmm, let's check the CRC checksums... Open each Archive individually in 7-Zip, then hit the yellow "i" Info icon.
    When that window is open, you can hit "CTRL+C" to copy the text, then paste it here for comparison:

    "SilverChaos.part1.rar":


    "SilverChaos.part2.rar":


    "SilverChaos.part3.rar":



    If the CRC's are off, then it means the download failed, and will need to be downloaded. A major issue with downloading files from the internet, is that sometimes "Chunks" will go missing or replaced with garbage data if it's downloaded incorrectly, or if your provider is being a butt-head. Most file-sharing places will tell you of a CRC Checksum to compare to, to make sure the files came out 100%. If not, you redownload.

    I downloaded SilverChaos from an Erogame website once upon a time, but they're the same files that I posted earlier from the Mega.nz place.

    I guess checking the filesizes also will help.

    I might have to just redownload until it works then, the files look exactly the same [I took my own name out because that is my real name]. Do I have to combine the VDATA and BGDATA files or will they work separately?

    Random question... you're not trying to extract the files from "SilverChaos.part2.rar" and "SilverChaos.part3.rar" by themselves, are you?

    This is a split archive, so you only need to run the extract process on the first "SilverChaos.part1.rar", and it will use the "part2" and "part3" files on their own perfectly fine.

    If you run tests or try to extract files from "part2" and "part3" on their own, you'll get the same errors.

    I just did some tests involving that, and I got the same errors as you.

    The CRC checksums are fine on the last two files, so they're correct. ^^ As I said before, "Part2" and "Part3" contain HALF of the data for each file, and when they're extracted from the first file "part1", it will be put together properly.

    Try just that.
