// Enio, wenn du irgendwen kennst, bei dem RO funktioniert, dann hol dir mal den installationsordner von dem und versuchs. ich hab grad von meinem laptop einfach den installationsordner auf meinen pc gezogen und jetzt gehts.

Well yes that should work since there the ressources would already be downloaded. Will see, id still like to know how to fix this so that i can download the ressources.

well, it DOES work and I, too, would still like to know why it does not download on my pc but on my notebook it does... but this way, at least I can play if I want to

You tried this?

Open the file game.cfg, look for the line 'res_disk_retriever = sdb' and change 'sdb' to sqlite'. Then enter the game again. Then have some patience while it converts the resource database.

Yes, that had no effect on the downloading thing.

Now i have a "slight" problem with getting back into the game :/

Manually downloaded one of the failing ressources: res_64680
md5 sum:
b6178c62b021d33d1c89bf30cd97eecf

Any help appreciated.

Edit: Weird, i just activated res_download_log and i didnt run into any error yet. Ill report back.
Edit2: I run into the same ressources failing to download.
64680 (Alsius creacion skybox)
49597 (Hielo roca1)

I give up for now and roll back to the old sdb files, but something is defenitely wrong with the ressource download/hashs.

Edit3: With the rolled back sdb files (tehyre like some days old) i now have ingame ressources loading and failing. i have "download all at once" unchecked.
res_68323 (Regnum normals) that is..

That's the correct md5. What does the error log say when a resource fails?

Itll just put numerous entries like

[date/time] [HTTP Retriever][lighttpd_retriever.cpp(424)] Error downloading resource xxxxx. Retrying.

for the resource in question.

Edit:
Slightly more verbose with dbg_resource_manager_output = 1
[06/11/2011 17:13:10] [Resource Manager][resource_manager.cpp(715)] Resource not found with disk retriever: id:68323 ver: 55, requested by: texture_manager(0)

No sign though why the download fails.

You may check what happens exactly recording tcp exchange using tools like Wireshark. It may help in finding what is going on.

Could be worth running memtest, there is a usb stick version here:
http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
Also defrag, scan for hard disk errors, turn off virus scanning, etc

The PC I had trouble with has a drive that used to be in a raid array and was still identifying its self as a raid drive,. The small update came between finding this out and fixing it, idk if this had anything to do with the problem.

I did that, it seems all fine. Sure some duplicate ACKs but myclient sends a Http 200 OK status back to the resource server so the missing res should be successfully transmitted.

I might give it a shot, however im not too positive. I have zero troubles with system stability or other programs.
I might also try a completely fresh install from installer, maybe something got messed up.

Edit: I just doublechecked rw permissions on files and folders and that seems all fine too. Its really weird, some other (but smaller) resources just downloaded without any issues.

Could just copy over the folder from the laptop, doesnt fix anything though. btw, win or linux?
