dmz Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Greetings, I've just noticed Humble Store updated Xenonauts to the Stable 19 version (I don't know how long that's been there, HB didn't put an update date under the download link - which is also why I noticed it only because I was checking the link target) but, upon download, the .zip archive won't open. The md5sum checks ok so the download went good and the file's good, but the unzip utility outputs this: Archive: xeno_win19stable.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of xeno_win19stable.zip or xeno_win19stable.zip.zip, and cannot find xeno_win19stable.zip.ZIP, period. Has anybody experienced the same behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb87670 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Confirmed. Just downloaded V19_Stable from the Humble Bundle store. I tried to unzip it with 7zip and it would not work. Error message is "Can not open file *directory of file here* as archive" EDIT: Also this needs to be in like tech support, but that section seems to be only for game bugs. This isn't a bug with the game itself, it seems Humble Bundle got a bad file. Edited September 14, 2013 by tb87670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeisterP Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 unzip and 7zip have issues with large zip files (at least on linux, I don't know about other platforms) I was able to extract the archive with the java archive tool $ jar xvf foo.zip see http://robertnewmanconsulting.com/blog/2012/dec/19/unzipping-problematic-archive/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Very nice, thanks! I wasn't aware of that problem with unzip/7zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I guess we'll put it back in a RAR file then. I assume the previous RAR files were working for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihenn Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 7zip doesn't work for me either, and I can't figure out how to use jar to open it... V18 from Humble Bundle did work with 7zip, so I don't know why I cant unzip v19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) @Chris I don't remember if the v18 was a .rar file but I didn't have any issues with it. Anyway, it's not a Xenonauts problem but rather an unzip utility one, so maybe a .rar for the next release could be good but no reason to lose time to repackage v19 I guess, unless it's a really fast operation (I don't know the procedure to upload things on Humble Bundle). Cheers! EDIT: I thought about it a bit and for v18 I used the .deb Linux package, that's why I didn't have any issues. At any rate, if I'll find a zip utility that works well for big files, I'll report back here. I don't know when I'll have time to really look at it tho.

MeisterP Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I guess we'll put it back in a RAR file then. I assume the previous RAR files were working for you? Yes, the .rar archive for v18 worked fine. ... Anyway, it's not a Xenonauts problem but rather an unzip utility one, ... The problem is the size limit of .zip archives. Not all tools (or some older versions of them) support ZIP64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
