 I guess that was my fault then (and my alone)... I automatically assumed Stroggy supplied the archive too (he reviewd the game). I completely forgot that somebody else might have contributed the game itself. Sorry Horseman!  *going to change that* EDIT: I guess someone else has alreday changed it... Sorry again for that Horseman! |

| The Fifth Horseman | Winzip and Winrar you used - are you sure they were the _very_newest_ versions? If not, get the newest ones and try them. | |

Allright, allright. I checked some things. The file is the archive that came from me, dunno how it got Stroggy credited for both upload and review since he did only the latter. Problems come from the fact that the pack method used was Deflate64 method (as opposed to normal Deflate) and double wordlength set. Total Commander, 7Zip or a newer version of WinZip will solve this in a pinch. Now ecuse me, I have faces to bash in. |

Please remember that the majority of the newbies who ask for help around here probably don't even know what a compression method is. How could they even think about using a different unpacker? On the same way of thought, most of the newbies probably never even tought there could be a search option for a forum or what it could even be used for. The best way to go around this is to go easy first and as the thread starter begin to shows his technical experience (or lack therefore of) then change to a more direct (or subtle) approach. Doing the opposite is likely to scare the thread starter off. |

Anyway, just as I said, get a different unpacker program and try it. Doesn't work - uninstall, works - leave it. Wait a moment... I just recalled something... I remember NOES was among a pack of games I uploaded a while back - now, I have packed these with a little less ordinary variant of ZIP method (different dictionary length and something, IIRC). This tended to cause problems in some unpackers (Windows XP Zip interface, for example). Now, the entry says "uploaded and reviewed by Stroggy". I'll check before I'll accuse anyone of anything, but if my suspicions are be confirmed some people (no names) are going to have trouble. And it looks like it's gonna be more then just Stroggy. |

Either way we have to be nice! There's no sense in bashing them after they made the post |

It's not like these people using a search function would be a mental challenge for those who have this question either. They just don't bother. |

Have you tried to reinstall your (de)compression software, myri ? That should do it  k:
