Combat Operations 1.08 patch errors xdelta3

Recommended Posts

I will receive multiple errors when trying to patch Armed Assault: Combat Operation 1.06, the American release by Atari, to 1.08. An example of the error would be ""Error found in file AddOns\air.pbo (correct value!=wrong value). Things I have tried to resolve the issue.

1. Completely wiped out all instances of Arma in my files and registry.

2. Reinstalled Armed Assault and downloaded another patch from another server

3. Ran the patch

I have done this multiple times, each time downloading the 1.08 patch from another mirror. I still get this corruption. I have also tried going to the CD and manually copying over the files it says are defective. This will result in the file not being reported anymore as corrupt, but then another one will say it is corrupt. I go through all of the files that are corrupt just to have another one go corrupt. Then again, sometimes manually copying over the files seems to do nothing. In fact, I have ran the patch before to have it report air.pbo is corrupt, but then the next time I run it, it is fine.

The problem is not being caused by my motherboard, hard drive, processor, or memory. I have ran an 8 hour stress test using Orthos along with CoreTemp, PC Probe, and SpeedFAN to ensure no problems arised. It ran perfectly without any problems. PC Probe would have reported any Power Supply issues during the stress test. I am very confident nothing is wrong with the hardware on my machine. I also have the latest BIOS for my motherboard.

The problem is not being caused by any software on my machine. I have tried rebooting and ending every single task that I know doesn't need to be running. Leaving all of the windows system tasks running. It still gives me this error. It is not a driver issue unless there is a conflict with the latest drivers. In fact, everything that can be updated on the machine is updated. I have no viruses, spyware, adware, trojan horses, worms, or any other such malicious programs running on my machine. My file system is not corrupt and it has been defragged.

I consider myself to be rather computer savvy and have been unable to remedy this issue. This is sort of my last resort, because I find that computer advice on forums tends to be lacking, and I tend to be the type that can always figure the solution to computer problems themselves.

I believe the problem with the corruption lies in the patch itself or some very rare application\driver specific problem. I highly doubt it possible that of the 6-7 places I have downloaded the patch, that they are all corrupt. I also highly doubt it is a problem with my computer hardware/software as everything else works perfectly fine. It is also possible there is a problem inherant in the code of xdelta3 that poses a problem for my machine and not others.

Any and all suggestions are welcome to help remedy this issue. I have noticed others on these forums to have this very same problem. I am hoping we can come to a fix.

Interestingly enough I was able to resolve the problem by using the solution I doubted the most. The patch file must have been corrupt. After downloading yet another 1.08 patch file from a mirror I "struck gold". I downloaded the file from gamezone. I originally went here and decided against it because they force you to use an executable which launches a site specific download manager. The patch worked perfectly, finally. There seems to be a mass corruption going on here. I tried 6-7 different mirrors before getting one that worked. This only seems to be happening with the Combat Operation 1.08 patch.
