As title states I cant extract the zip file from the official downloader so I'm wondering if they are all zip files or not? Because every time I try to extract the entire thing to my desktop it gives me "The archive is corrupt"

Im downloading from Fileplanet in hopes of it just being a regular click and install not a zip file

    I had the same problem i just deleted it and re-downloaded from a different site and everything work's fine, At least i think wont patch but i guess that's just because the server's aren't up or there is no patch to patch.

    Did any one here download a file that worked on the first try just by simply extracting? and which one did you download there are like 15 options.

    I downloaded mine from fileplanet and it was corrupted (never happened on my dl's from there before) so I just renamed the file the same way it is named in the torrent file and loaded up the
    torrent and after verifying the file, it showed 99,8% completion, then just let the torrent client
    to download the missing pieces. Done!

    i used theyre downloader mind my grammar im not in a caring mood right now just want to play the game lol anyways when you download a large file like this one it is best to use the downloader they provide although there is still a chance of getting corrupt or incomplete files if you do choose to use one of the mirror sites make sure you use the fire fox browser as internet explorer cant handle files over 2gb good luck and i hope to see you all in game.

    Downlaoding it directly is not a possibility as it would take me 14956 hours 34 minutes and 18 seconds
