Weird problem with files breaking my computer...

[BronzeGreekGod]

Hey so i downloaded PM 3.6 last week, but havent had a chance to play it yet. I just tried installing it to my sd card, but it had an issue transferring a number of files over. Seems to be Pac and pcs files that are having problems. Ive noticed that i also havent been able to open a lot of these files in brawlbox either.

Anyone know what the problem here could be??

K guys, im seriously having issues with the new P:M. Is there liek a virus in it or something? Or are the files corrupt?

Every time i do ANYTHING with the PM files, my computer starts acting like a psycho. It freezes, its slow, the files wont transfer properly. I re downloaded PM, and my computer told me it could be harmful. So i duno whats going on.. Please help!


Edit: Most recent thing is when i try to extract the PM files from the zip, i get an error "can not be completed due to I/O error".

I'm using windows 7. But old versions of the mod work just fine. I can edit files and extract, transfer easily.

I use avg. And I can try using another computer I just don't wana break theirs too lol.

Is there something new added to the newest version that would cause these problems with the antivirus?

And what happens now is it causes my computer to freeze up after 30 seconds of un zipping. And 2 times back to back I tried it now, and it crashed my computer and caused a blue screen upon startup (very quick one so fast I couldn't read anything). Then my computer won't start again until it runs a system repair. It's quite annoying!

The first time I tried to extract when re-downloading the files, I got that error I mentioned before half way through the extract

Anddd the reason I re downloaded it was cause the original one I extracted (which worked), I couldn't transfer the files to the sd card! Nor could I open a number of the files in brawlbox.

Just to add, keep in mind.. I can unzip older versions and transfer the files and edit files just as I did in the past. They're all fine. Just the new 3.6 is causing these issues

what are you using to unzip with?

what are you using to unzip with?

I normally use 7-zip, I tried that as well as windows explorer (you know, windows has a built in zip reader). Both gave me similar issues. Actually 7 zip is the one that broke the computer. Windows explorer only caused slow down and temporary freezing, and causes the program to crash (so I can't unzip the files)

My antivirus doesn't seem to come into play at all from what I can tell. Though, the one time I downloaded PM 3.6 the other day, google chrome told me that the file could be harmful to my computer and wanted to remove it (but I clicked ignore and keep file). And that's the only time that happened to me for downloading pm.

try downloading again, it's possible it got corrupted when google interrupted it.

Well i did. I downloaded it a few times, and every time there was the same problem (even the times that google didnt talk smack).

 

[Narpas_sword]

ok, have you tried disabling AVG yet? while downloading and while unzipping?

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

Not yet. I guess i'll give that a shot when I get home. I just am worried im gona get the same problem and have to go through another startup failure.

Does it actually make sense for the new version (and only the new version) to have issues with avg or chrome? It really doesn't make too much sense to me lol.

I'll give it a shot though when I get home today.

 

[Narpas_sword]

i don't know, I don't code for AVG =p

This is definitely a problem with your pc, not the zip file though.
Try turning off AVG.
Try another zip program (winrar?)
Try on another PC

That's pretty much all i can recommend.
