v26 extraction issues

[zeinul]

I downloaded two files, one from torrent and one from gamefront. Both of them gave me some errors on extractions, leaving empty files in the extraction folder. Does anyone experience same problems? And how to fix it?

Check out the patches is all I know to say here.

I can't even extract the v26 from .7s before I can apply a patch, because all I'm getting from archive are empty files (0 bytes).

What are you using to extract with? Zip? Rar? or 7zip (7z)?

If it's a .7z format and you use .zip you Will have problems. Most of the uploads are generally .rar iirc though. And zip and rar are generally compatible.

I'm using winrar. It was working with v17-v25, but for some reason it stopped working with v26. Could it be that a file uploaded is broken?

I think you need to repost this in the Bug thread so SO, ls612, and others can see it. ls612 did the upload this time so maybe he used a new format?

It's a download issue, his file must have been corrupted in the transfer. There's no solution other than to redownload the file. So long as he's using any modern compression utility it should work fine with a non-corrupted file.

Try updating 7-zip to the current version. That fixed the problem for me.

I was using an older version of 7-zip (from nearly 3 years ago) and it did not recognize the compression method used for some of the files in the archive. This left all the extracted files as size 0. I upgraded to the current version of 7-zip and the problem went away.

OK, that might explain it. I used LZMA2 compression, as I didn't have much time and that compression algorithm can be arbitrarily multi-threaded (to 6 cores in my case, out of 8). Older versions of 7-zip may not recognize those, I never thought of that.

Yes, I had this issue using PowerArchiver, but updating to a new version of the program solved this issue for me. Get newer software
