Hi there,

I am getting an error when trying to run the DX11 high res texture pack. I initially had this error with patch 1.9 and the dx 11 upgrade as well. Repeated downloads of patch 1.9 and the DX11 upgrade ended up working. I haven't seen anyone else with this problem though so I am not certain what is causing it or why.

The error is: Failed to extract file from archive: diff_000001.dif. This comes up after I run the patch, and it begins to try and extract the files.

I have searched a number of things on google, the forums and other sources and no go. The closest thing I have been able to find out is that the download may be corrupt, and to download it again. Unfortunately I live in Australia, the land of the download cap. I can't chew up any more of my quota this month (already downloaded it 12 times with no success) and the texture pack is 1.7 gig.

Any help would be appreciated, I have even tried a reinstall of my OS, downloading it again (using a different version of windows 7 as well) and still no go.

System:
gigabyte x58 ud7
i7 960 (stock)
gtx580
12 gig 1600 ram
win 7 64

cheers

Bumping, tried memory tests, reseating my memory, network diagnostics downloading from different locations disabling my firewall and anti virus and still have the problem.

Really at a loss to find any information on it at all except a couple of german forums where someone has had the same problem.

I'm having the exact same problem. Started up the game a couple of days ago and it automatically downloaded and installed 1.9. I don't have the bandwidth to download all the upgrades at once, but from what I've been reading, leaving it as it is seems to be the way to go

Intel i5 2400
HD 5870

I am getting the exact same error.
I'm using an i5 750 stock
5850

I have re-downloaded the file, and I am getting the same error. I do not have the bandwidth allocation to keep downloading a 500mb+ file in the hope I get one that bloody works

I got that error when I first tried installing the patch, I got rid of it by restarting my pc and turning of any program not needed ie Kaspersky, Steam, Xfire

Tried to start in safe mode, still no deice. I should mention, I've just downloaded and installed the advanced textures pack and that installed no problem whatsoever

UPDATE/FIXED

Having downloaded 2 separate files from mycrisis, I find it more than a little screwed up the only working copy I could find was here

I'm using an AMD GFX card but the base patch is non-specific
