Retail VPs corrupt, CRCs anyone?
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I didn't see any dedicated help forums, so I figured this was the next-best thing. Basically, my retail VPs are corrupt, but I'm not sure which ones and I'd rather redownload one CD than all three. After various searches I couldn't find anything more than a list of the VPs I needed (all of which I have). Simply put, can anyone give me CRCs, MD5 hashes or any other kind of way to test which VPs are valid and which ones are not? I'd appreciate it :).

VP Size should be sufficient. I'm a bit busy now, but you can find the correct size of the VPs here. You should also be able to download them from there.

Also, if you can contain yourself until April 1st, the Open Installer will be back up, which re-downloads the retail VPs if they are corrupt.

why would an SCP error be considered as news? :wtf: *smacks Cobra*It's a feature.

Because on April 1st, Bandwidth limits are reset. Just like the first of any month.  :)

It works! My VP files were all the right size, but by checking the list in the HotU section of Karajorma's FAQ I figured out which one was needed (sparky_fs2.vp) and which ones weren't, and therefore which one was causing it to crash (To clarify, it wasn't loading the web cursor animation thingy, which caused it to crash on startup). Thanks :).
