dystopian 25 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I purchased OA via Steam last night. Everything was fine I played online for a few hours. Took an hour break and now when i click my shortcut it gives this error after attempting to load - ""Data file too short 'expansion\addons\animals_e.pbo.'. Expected 17485350, got 655360 B"" I googled this and found no solutions. I also removed the pbo and tried to start and it then stated that the "Missions_e.pbo" was too short. So I removed that, and it then stated, "Plants_e.pbo" was too short.... I'm not sure how to fix this issue any help is appreciated.
