Corrupt pig files

I've been getting lots of fatal error crashes of the game recently, and its always the same type of error.

At least 4/5 times a gaming session I get a fatal error crash of the game, the pig file is never the same but it always reads something like this:

Fatal Error: Corrupt pig file detected
Read failed for file:
Texture_Library/Customes/Avatars/Borg2/M_Head_Borg_01_N.Wtex

Technical Details: ./piggs/texture3.hogg:
Texture_Library/Customes/Avatars/Borg2/M_Head_Borg_01_N.Wtex:
Corrupt pig file detected
Read failed for file:
Texture_Library/Customes/Avatars/Borg2/M_Head_Borg_01_N.Wtex


Each time it happens I force verify the files, but it isnt long till it happens again.
Anyone got any advice on how to solve this?

    I had the exact same issue, turns out I had a DIMM, and it was misinterpreting it as a corrupt file when in reality, it was unable to access the cached version in RAM.

    I am having an issue where I cant even get past the load screen It keeps crashing approx 1/4 of the way loading. Any help would be great. I just reinstalled the game and re-downloaded the patch but It is still doing it.

    Same issue here. I was in game for 10 minutes or less, crashed due to this error. Now whenever I attempt to log in I get to the character select, start loading, and crash.

    Crashed due to which error? If it's the corrupted pigg file, force verify will not always (ever?) catch the error and you'll need to delete that offending pigg file so it gets redownloaded by the updater.

    If it only gets corrupted once, not to worry. If it keeps happening, something is causing it to corrupt like a hard drive going bad. Also, as an earier poster mentioned, having a memory stick going bad can also sometime present as a corrupted file.

    I think I know what the problem is. You must convert your pig files into bacon files! Nom away! :p

    the main reason for "corrupted" pigg files seems to be the update of the game client.

    The pigg file get "repacked" with the new files from the patch. Doing the patching, the file itself might start to defragment.

    If you have more then 1 hard drive (or more then 1 partition), you can do the following, after the latest patch has been applied.

    Move (or copy) the install folder to a different drive / partition.
    Use the defragmention tool on the origin drive.
    Copy (not move!) the install folder back to the origin drive.

    If you are in the un-lucky position of a defective file, you will have no other choice then to delete the file.
