MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) I have emailed BIA and Coalescent and have yet to get back emails. Here is the problem: I got VBS today with all modules. Only Terrain 2 works and the Core. None of the other Modules work I get the error: Data File too short. Has anyone come across this problem, and/or know how to fix it? I am a little peeved I paid this much $$$ and now it wont work. My system is WAY above min. settings. My Cryptobox has a red light on it. The box is installed fine in the USB slot, just having errors when running VBS.exe for all mods Also, the .txt files on all the CDs have the same number that is my customer number. So I dont think encryption is the prob. Edited September 14, 2004 by MercsInc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabellum 12 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Did you install the fix for terrain 1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) No, I cant get any of the fixes because my activation email for vbs resources is still on the way. Do I have to install every module that is assigned to the crypto for it to work? Right now I am trying anything and everything. Okay here is a list of all the .pbo addons in my folder that I have. Thank you everyone that can help me out. adel, ADF1, ADF1D, Ani1, Band, Cain, Dest, eden, Noe, OPF1, OPF1D, SF1, SF1D, Snow, T1, T1D, T2, T2D This VBS1 is the Coalescent version.

Parabellum 12 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 The fixes should have been included, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really sounds like they're not encrypted for your customer number, data file too short does sound like there not encrypted properly. And those files are the ones you should have in your add ons folder. Have you tried opening up a scenario in miss editor? do any of the maps from terrain 1 show?

MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) No, when I click the exe I get the error. When I delete all but Terrain 2 it works Its weird cause on the CD it has the txt file, and mine all match. "hopefully they have some sort of file they can send me to fix this, rather than wait another 20 days to get fixed stuff" Edited September 14, 2004 by MercsInc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"hopefully they have some sort of file they can send me to fix this, rather than wait another 20 days to get fixed stuff" Sounds like definte encryption problem on CT's part...if there the same number as ur's that means they had a problem when encrypting...e-mail them and get them to put a link for download up for you so u don't have to wait another 20 days to get it fixed....that should be no proble for them.

Parabellum 12 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I've heard quite a few people complain about problems with CTCorp as of late. Whether it's not providing a customer number for access to the customer forums, or encryption problems, these guys really come off as inept. Don't rest until you make them fix the problem to your satisfaction. Be upfront, forthcoming, and tell them exactly what you want them to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah I already have an email out to BIA and Coalescent. Hopefully they will help resolve this quickly for me. In the meantime I can screw around with the Core and Terrain 2. Thank you everyone for your help and I look forward to seeing you all online (hopefully in a few days).

MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 I am now waiting for a gentleman at Coalescent to return my call. We are gonna try to walk through and troubleshoot the problem. Thanks again for all the help here guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NP Mate..BTW That error only occures with Encryption problems... so it's more a case of them repacking it again and sending it off to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Yeah I think they are aware of that, they just want to try to make sure im not dumb as rocks and messing something up before they send more ###### out. In all honesty you would think they could send me a little file I can put somewhere to fix it. I have tried everything and think this troubleshoot is pointless, but he said if we cant get it I will have new modules on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well....if those add ons are in ur add on folder and have same encryption number... thats one thing- data file too short is only with encryption.....oh well.....trouble shoot time it sounds like.....

MercsInc 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) Okay we tried to troubleshoot to no avail. THey will be sending out 5 of my modules tomorrow. In the meantime I will play VBS1 with just Terrain 2. Hopefully I will get my email activation for VBS resources so I can DL some cool content. The new modules will be going out overnight shipping. That means I should get them Thurs or Fri. Bummer they cant do that for all the regular orders. Edited September 15, 2004 by MercsInc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
