Unable to download client [Reliable Source Serving Corrupt Data]

Grimix · September 2016

I've tried repairing the launcher/client four times, and have done a full uninstall/reinstall twice now and come up against the same issue. At varying points in the download process, I am met with "Reliable source serving corrupt data" (normally with 4Mb remaining) and halts the download immediately. The one time I got remotely close to finishing the download (again with 4Mb remaining) I exited the launcher and reloaded it as administrator and the Play button appeared. After hitting play, I was instantly hit with a Fatal Error 11. I've been trying to get this to work for going on two days now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, this is a known issue that ZOS never fix.

Try the solutions that you can find here, options 2 and 4 are the best options:

SOLUTIONS FROM THE USERS

1) The first fix that a couple of users had was sharing via OneDrive the missing files in Download (in depot folder), so, if you have a friend with a similar problem, share your files. (I dont know if this is Illegal or not, but as I can see, this is a problem that persisted for years and we couldn't keep waiting. Besides, you are sharing a legal copy to another user with a Legal account. I'll notice you later if this is not permitted, if not, i'll delete this option) [THIS TOTALLY WORKS]

2) One user claim to pass through this error a couple times by enabling the DMZ with your own IP, and using Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4), restarting the machine, open launcher as admin, and it should go well. [Couldn't test it]

3) As this is probably an ISP issue with your location, using your mobile's phone internet (using wi-fi, or data via USB) in your computer will provide you the last few MBs that were crashing. [Worked for me and onthers]

4) Using the software Hotspotshield and configuring your host will get you through. [Worked for a lot of users]"

Same problem. And how I suppose to use Hotspotshield for launcher if it works only for google chrome browser only? Or what do you mean with DMZ google's DNS?
