Mine just says checksum error in the encrypted file and that's it do y'all know how to fix it

[@AtechAdventurer]

You can try repairing the file, if the file is not extracting.

[@williamdane1824]

Hey Bro, I Downloaded 22.6 gb Setup File For The Hitman 2 game From Ocean Of Games, When I Tried Extracting It, It Said Archive Corrupt So I Repaired It. After The Repair, When I Extracted It Again, It Was Extracting The Files For A Bit But Then Came The Checksum Error. Now I Am Choosing To Keep The Broken Files, So Far It's Extracting It. But I Don't Know If It'll Work Or Not. If It Doesn't Work, What Should I Do? Development: Now I Have A File That Is apparently 22.6 gb But The Setup File Is Just A Notepad Thing Saying Setup.exe

[@AtechAdventurer]

Check the extension of setup file, if it is .txt, change it to .exe. If the setup file is 22.6gb or more, then change the extension as .rar. Try this and message me if it is not working.

[@williamdane1824]

@@AtechAdventurer would you mind recommending me a site from where i can redownload this game and play it?

[@AtechAdventurer]

Try steamunlocked. I have downloaded many games from this site and they worked fine.

[@Grimms_house]

Bro I'm extracting 13 files it was the 10th that had this error so how do I do it should I use this method from the 1st file Cause I can't extract 10 with starting from 1 to get my whole file

[@AtechAdventurer]

Yes, use it when you're starting to extract. But the thing is, if it is a game, the method might not work, if the file is too much damaged.

[@allanpxndy]

I have a question. Can you still open that file even if it's corrupted but you extracted it?

[@AtechAdventurer]

Good question. Some files can be opened, specially video files or images, PDFs. Setup files can be opened sometimes, but most of the times they cannot be opened. That's because setup files are complex and they require a complete integrity to function and install.

[@salihusule5481]

Hey bro, my issue is a bit different. I converted my files to rar and forgot to uncheck the "delete files after archiving" option. Now I'm only seeing less than half the files i archive😢. Please what do i do

Unrar the Rar file and check whether all the files are present.

Bro i buy 8 gb ram Or 4 gb ram please suggest me i can buy only 1 and i have also 4 gb ram in my pc

[@AtechAdventurer]

That really depends on your requirement. If you're planning to high-end gaming, 4k editing, better to buy the 8 gb. But if you're trying to speed up your system for personal use such as internet browsing, then better go to the 4gb (or a SSD might be your best bet if you don't have one).

Hey brother, I just downloaded a game, I am sure nothing is corrupt in the game zip, but after the extraction reaches completion the error kicks in saying checksum error in the encrypted file. I tried using 7zip it says CRC cannot be completed, wrong password, or data error. I am sure I put the correct password. Then I tried using power iso but it also end up with some kind of error. The game file is 4.36 GB, but somehow I ignored the messages and extracted it but the extraction was only 4.35 GB. When I ran the setup to play the game, the setup said, decompressing failed, and the archive head was corrupted. Please help bro. I see you uploaded this vid 10 months ago but you are still replying to other people's comments, it would be great of you if you would help me too. Show less

[@AtechAdventurer]

Okay, try to fix it using repairing option in WinRAR. 1. Go to “Tools” in the menu bar. 2. Select “Repair archive”. 3. Specify a location. (select either option, zip or rar) 4. Begin the process. After that, there will be another file in the location, which is repaired. Try to open it and extract.

[@angelodrija8973]

If both ways doesn't work and after redownloading it says the same thing does this mean the website's file was corrupted to begin with.

[@AtechAdventurer]

Yes, it is possible. Can you try using a different website?

[@oc492]

I had a issue when extracting a game but unfortunately these methods didn’t work on it...

[@AtechAdventurer]

As a last resort, try to repair the file using WinRAR. If it still gives the error, you'll have to download the game again.

[@oc492]

@AtechAdventurer thank you for the response I think I have to re-download the files.

[@doratheexplorer2491]

[@AtechAdventurer]

What is the error you're getting.

[@samsonchilasa9115]

But does it work the extracted file...mine doesn't work

[@AtechAdventurer]

Yes, it does. But if the file is a setup file, or a file that is improperly downloaded (pausing the download several times), there is a chance of not working. If possible, try to re-download.

[@muhammadumarsaeed3993]

Not working, the video file not opening

[@AtechAdventurer]

Sorry, did you mean it's not working for me, because I'm not opening the file? No, it's not. The only thing is this simple method works for files which can be repaired by 7-zip. By the way, I should have opened the movie in the video. I'm sorry about that.
