will try it when a better downloader is available, i wish gog used the method blizzard downloader uses, the torrent style, i had stopped downloading diablo 2 months back and yet i can resume it now.....

Remind me to never put you in charge of anything important.

"That check that makes sure everything is how it is should be? Yeah.. I just skip that" >.<

And liquidsnakehpks, those digests I gave you will narrow down which files are corrupt.

Congratulations on reading something that wasn't there!

And if the integrity check fails, it means there *is* something wrong. It could be with the setup file or the integrity check itself..

ya i have saved those hashes xyem will check it next time

If they are all different, let me know the version of the setup file, I may have an old version. If I do, I'll redownload and give you the new hashes.

You need to fix your computer then, seeing as the integrity check is the very simple task of reading the file and compressing it to a string of characters. If it can't do that consistently, it's broken.

Yes it does, because you said your hardware configuration gives different results.

Different hardware configurations don't even enter the equation!

The integrity check would be completely pointless if it did depend on a specific hardware configuration anyway. How about you actually read up on the subject before arguing with someone? You'll stop sounding "dumb", I promise.

Alternatively, you could stop trolling, if that is what you are doing.

Actually, I'm trying to to help the guy out with my extensive knowledge on the subject.

I'm sure he'll be devastated when me being "whiny and elitist" gets the game working for him.

I never said it did work 100% for sure. However, it is still better than you "just hit it with a hammer until it fits in the hole sorta" method. The game may have ran, but then glitched or crashed later on. How much time would then be wasted before it was found out that he didn't even install the game properly?

You trying to help isn't bad, but the advice you gave him while doing so was. And then arguing with someone on a subject you admit you know very little about? That will make you sound stupid.

And that's where I got my knowledge from. Reading and experience :)

And just because it works, doesn't make it good advice.. a fix is better than a workaround. Unless of course, a fix isn't available, then a workaround is better :P

You're certainly not useless and I didn't at all mean to come across as saying/implying that. I quite like the stories of someone proving a whole load of "you can't do that" people (who should have a greater knowledge) wrong :)

hmm setup.exe shows md5 of 097A819FB2974B855A44D7E76D2C3F19

the posted one MD5 (0011DF/secure/kings_bounty/setup_kings_bounty.exe) = 097a819fb2974b855a44d7e76d2c3f19

the other two files are downloading, i wish there was a secure downloader that could re check

here are the md5 sums for king's bounty installer
haven't actually tested if the files are good but aria2 didn't complain anything so I guess they're OK
dc2d07951c9af3d199d8227ec014329c setup_kings_bounty-1.bin
2a361a7cefd012f7e05b18cf770dc80b setup_kings_bounty-2.bin
097a819fb2974b855a44d7e76d2c3f19 setup_kings_bounty.exe

edit: ran the installer with wine and it's integrity check didn't complain anything either so the md5 sums are good
edit2: oh xyem already posted the md5 sums earlier... I think I skipped a page when reading the thread

at last got the two bin files with exact hash given above, lol used ie 9 beta this time to download, the setup worked correctly and the game runs well too

Excellent news :)
