HOWTO Fix a Corrupted Version of Allods Online

with 183 comments

This HOWTO guide explains how to easily fix the “corrupted version” error when installing / upgrading Allods Online without having to download files manually or from sources you’re not sure are safe.

WHAT THE BROKEN INSTALLATION PROCESS LOOKS LIKE

I tried installing Allods Online (AO) this weekend and ran into a corrupted version problem. Here is what the install process with the corrupted version looks like:

  1. you run the game downloader and install the game
  2. you run AO game launcher and you get a notification that you need to upgrade to the latest patch:
  3. the launcher downloads the patches (~450 MB in my case)
  4. the launcher installs the patches
  5. the launcher reports that the “Version is corrupted. Do you want to repair it now?”
  6. the launcher’s attempt to repair the corrupted version fails, and you see this message:

Unfortunately, the repair page mentioned in the error panel doesn’t help this problem. So what’s wrong with the installation process? You can see from the picture above that the launcher itself (bin/Launcher.exe) is broken, so you need to get the launcher to download a working version of itself.

HOW TO FIX THE CORRUPTED VERSION

Disclaimer: the instructions below worked for me and for other people – but use them at your own risk! I’m not gpotato tech support LOL :)

In a nutshell, the fix for this problem is to rename the launcher program and then run the renamed launcher, so it downloads a working version of itself.

Here’s the process:

  1. follow steps 1-6 above, but do not try the repair page as suggested. It won’t fix the problem
  2. go to the game installation’s bin directory (by default, it’s C:\gpotato.com\Allods Online\bin) and rename Launcher.exe to Launcher-broken.exe:Please note that Windows on your computer may be configured to hide the file extension (.exe), so if you simply see “Launcher” rename it to “Launcher-broken”
  3. double-click Launcher-broken.exe to run it, and when you see the following script error panel, click Yes:
  4. the launcher will run and automatically attempt to fix the corrupted version:
  5. wait while the launcher runs. What the launcher program (Launcher-broken.exe) will do is download a new version of itself (Launcher.exe) that actually works:
  6. once the fixed version of Launcher.exe has been downloaded, you will see the following message box, and you want to click the circled “x” to close it:
  7. now click the Allods Online icon on your desktop, and you should see the following panel, which means your game installation is all good :)

I wasted enough of my time researching this problem and seeing other players stuck on it on the AO forums, so I hope this guide helps you. Thanks to the players who posted the rename fix – all I tried to do was make the process clearer for folks who are struggling with this.

    • Sounds like it worked for you. Tthat makes the time spent in de-installing the game to test and document the install and fix process worthwhile.

            Sry couldn’t help

      2010 April 14 at 11:56

    • what i did to fix this was “renamed the Launcher.exe to Launcher-broken.exe” as directed. Ran the Launcher-broken.exe to no avail. Renamed the Launcher-broken.exe back to “Launcher.exe” and that seemed to fix my problem :) im currently now able to download the update :)

  2. I am glad to see that you are still up for another adventure in MMO-land Taugrim :-)
    Just a reminder: Keen and Graev were pretty enamored with AION, contrasting it very positively with WAR.
    And we all know how much you love buggy software that are exploiter’s heaven…
    Maybe that bugged launcher was trying to tell you something Taugrim ;-)

    • Are you saying that Allod’s is hackable? I sure hope not. I detest cheating and cheaters.

      And yes, I remember how enamored Keen was with Aion :) At least in Allod’s Closed Beta he hit the level cap, so he’s seen the whole leveling process (albeit XP boosted) and content.

      2010 February 9 at 13:00

      • Erm, I just gathered that EU & NA can play together…that is ridiculously cool.

        Taugrim, you goin’ down boy!

        So can’t wait to get my arse kicked mate…

        Nathan

        2010 February 9 at 17:50

    • Enamored with what I saw in Aion. That would be levels 1-20. I did the whole “save the rest of the game for launch” thing and that bit me in the ass. The rest of the game sucked and I said so as soon as I found out.

      With Allods I’ve played to the max level and seen most of the game already. I like it.

      WAR… well, that was unfortunate. Lesson learned about trusting a company to strike gold twice.

      • With Allods I’ve played to the max level and seen most of the game already. I like it.

        My new strategy is to let Keen play the game extensively in Beta before I decide to try it. Muhahahaha!

        The WAR story is perhaps the saddest of any game. It was the best game I’ve ever played with the most brittle and buggy implementation.

    • Your Windows is probably configured to hide file extension’s (e.g. .exe, etc).

      That’s fine.

      Just rename your “launcher” to “launcher-broken” as in Step 2 of the fix process and then run “launcher-broken” by double-clicking it in Step 3.

  14. Hi mate,

    I tried to do it your way, but when i change the launcher file to launcher-broken, my internet explorer script error tells me it’s in Line 243 and not 242. It also says res://c:\gPotato.com\Allods Online\bin\launcher-Broken.exe/155 instead of your URL.

    What happens is that it starts with the running launcher like you’rs in step 5, but then just starts to download the repair files again instead of giving me the blank message box where your are supposed the clicke the red cross.

    Any ideas anyone plz? been trying to figure this out for hours….

    Awesomesauce

    2010 February 28 at 15:45

    • What happens is that it starts with the running launcher like you’rs in step 5, but then just starts to download the repair files again

      It’s supposed to do that. The reason you are renaming the file is so that it can re-download the working up-to-date copy of itself. Step 5 takes some time to run.

      taugrim

      2010 February 28 at 16:31

      • I simply can’t figure out how to rename the file Launcher.exe

        There is no option anywhere to rename it

  26. Sorry, but all is not freaking sunshine and roses. I followed the above instructions and I still have a corrupted AOgame.exe file that will not repair.

    I’m considering trashing it and going back to RoM…

    Theodorus

    2010 March 18 at 16:21

    • I’ve never seen AOgame.exe listed as one of the files which is broken. Are you sure it’s that file and not bin\launcher.exe?

      You should be able to replace/update AOgame.exe without these instructions.

  34. ignore my last comment as i’ve fixed that just by uninstalling/installing again now i’ve gotten up to step 5

    (wait while the launcher runs. What the launcher program (Launcher-broken.exe) will do is download a new version of itself (Launcher.exe) that actually works:)

    only problem is i see no new launcher appear in Bin
    the screen just sits there just like your screen shot (step 5)

    no message box has appeared

  40. Okay, I followed all of the steps and everything went well until the end of step 6 / beginning of step 7. I closed the green exclamation box at the circled ‘x’ per the instructions, then (since I don’t have an icon on the desktop) ran the newly downloaded launcher (not launcher-broken). AO popped up saying 172 files are missing now, and is downloading 2568MB of data. I genuinely don’t know what I did wrong, any suggestions?

    Nocteris

    2010 April 2 at 16:24

    • i had the same problem, if you downloaded the repair.exe which is useless, it actually creates another allods folder which sometimes gets the game confused on which allods folder to use (example, i first downloaded the game into a allods folder onto my desktop, later on i downloaded the repair exe and installed in my c: drive, then i had 2.5g missing data when the exe ran for problems) so what i did was transferred the 2.5g of files or zipfiles, into the other allods folder which red the 2.5g available

      2010 April 7 at 00:06

      • Yo, I have the same problem as you but idk where those missing files are, I first had allods NA and I had this issue and fixed it with this method, now that I downloaded EU I first downloaded the repair.exe and then this method didn’t work, your explanation is perfect but I just don’t know where my missing files are :s, any ideas?

Why cant gpotato get anything right?

  46. I followed the instructions and it won’t allow me to rename Launcher. Just extract and copy. I’m not surprised my pc isn’t cooperating just disappointed again at not being able to start playing. To be fair its on a external drive to save space on my pc. It is overdue for a upgrade but seeing how many folks have had issues with just getting the launcher to function I don’t think its just me. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. =)

  62. How long does step 5 take?
    [What the launcher program (Launcher-broken.exe) will do is download a new version of itself (Launcher.exe) that actually works:]
    I’ve been waiting about 20 minutes (have DSL connection)and all I see is a sliver of a pulsing blue on the download bar but the size of the sliver has not changed. Do I have to wait another 3 hrs for this to completely download? If so, why not just have a new original download FIXED so we all don’t have to go through 6 plus hours of messing around with this launcher? I’d really like to start playing this game in 2010. Thanks

  76. I havent had any issues with a mesage on corrupt version or launcher. I have though and endless loop of file corruption. When I click play it does a file consitency check and gives a pop uop that multiple files are corrupted. I click fix and it does a check that reports 0 files corrupt. then click play and loops through over and over. I have applied the last two patches manualy, renamed and fixed launcherexs etc. I uninstalled and downlonaded the game froma mirror site and still same issue.

  101. Hi! I had just this problem when I first downloaded Allods. After doing all the steps I could press “Play” and I felt that i finally could try this game. When I pressed play I got a message about corrupted files and a question about attempting to repair. I pressed the option for repairing and it´s 4 files that´s broken or missing. When I do the procedure that´s described here it says these four files are functioning but when I press play it does the same corrupt files thing.. I really want to try this game but I´m getting tired of trying to fix it.

Every time i do this it downloads the new launcher, when i bring the AO browser up, it looks like ur last picture for like 3 seconds, and then it goes back to the original screen shot.When i press play, it says some files are corrupted, and i press repair. But it never finds the corrupted files, and it does this over and over.

  126. I use Windows XP and when I rename the launcher.exe and then open it doesnt show a windows explorer script (i made windows explorer the default browser)… it says windows firewall has blocked the application but that isnt true because allods has been added as an exception. And i end up in a magical circle of stupidness and time wasting

  130. I tried this and when I click the Allods icon on my desktop it says everything is now corrupted. When I click on the new launcher it tells me to upload the patch and the whole thing starts over again. It won’t tell me what’s corrupted. When I click “play” it says there’s a corrupted file. so it scans for files and it says nothing’s corrupted. It’s a never ending circle… Any help?
