Cannot patch/acquire files
|
Hey folks!
I get an error when trying to download files for the game. It seems to point to a different file every time. Pictures of the error message follows: first try

![]() How it started: -Started POE today -Needed to type in password again due to changed IP -Accidentally clicked login twice. (not sure if related) -POE Error message, that it found damaged file and i should run the check.exe in the directory. -POE closes to desktop -Run check (didn't read the outcome... just pressed space, when done) -started POE -launcher wants to download files -error occurs and launcher closes What i already tried and changed nothing in behavior: -running the updater as admin -deleting everything but the .exe, content.ggpk, and shader cache (including files in the appdata folder) -rerunning the launcher a few times -rerunning the check.exe Conclusion so far: Me sad, game not not run q_p Plis help Okay mimimi jokes aside, i could use some advice here. Is this fixable somehow? I would like to avoid downloading the content.ggpk again, due to my atrociously slow internet. I am going to try a few other things and come back here to report and look for advice later today. Notifications are on, so i might try fixing it in between, if someone comes up with a solution.

Solved:
-Restarted the PC -Restarted my router to get a new IP One of the above solved the issue and the game did patch just fine afterwards. This may have been a issue with faulty ram or with a "Many users have found that their Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be serving a cached, corrupted version of the game file.", which i read in an error report on reddit from 2020. So yeah i don't know what was the issue or what fixed it. Issue closed. Stay sane exiles and thanks if anyone was already typing |_o-O_/ |
