did you find the reason for the "corrupt some renny file in your data folder" bug ?

i have that very often, atleast once a day.
most of the time it is the always2.dat or one of the other always.* files (i have a backup of all of them Smile ) but sometimes its an other file like the game2.exe or a mapfile Sad

i mean its a bug what happens often and to many players.

AFAIK those corrupt files are caused by windows or a faulty harddrive. I doubt you'll be able to get rid of them any time soon, especially if it's a faulty hdd. My only solution would be a format and a complete reinstall of windows.

my windows is around 2 weeks old, and the hdd around 12 month.
i had a harddrive check befor i installed windows, no problems.

and its not just me who has this problem, there many ppl do have this problem ... thats why you can download the small always files from some servers.

but the main problem is that the file is not corrupt, its just renguard who says it is corrupt, and cuz of that it wont let you enter the rg servers.
the file is not damaged or corrupt, you still can play renny, just without renguard.
i also compared the "corrupt" files with the backup files i made, they have exactly the same filesize ...

I know there's some people who have this problem and I also know just about everyone that plays Renegade uses windows. RenGuard uses MD5 to check files with. Even the slightest change in the file will make RenGuard think it's corrupt, the filesize wouldn't necessarily have to be larger or smaller. As long as the md5sum of the file doesn't match it will always be marked as corrupt.

but what causes such very small changes ?
and isnt it possible to use an other system to check the files ?

i mean bhs arent stupid people, they found ways to solve many problems, and there always ways to solve problems.
i guess thats a problem worth working on.

In Love No more name bug! Yes!!! You guys rock!
And less bandwith means people have less reason to not run renguard because of "lag". *coughyeahrightcough*
And the fix that will let Norton work is great! Now I can run Norton again. Tell Me I just turned it off because it doesn't do anything really...
*can't wait for it*

Just an interesting issue but, I run RenGuard and Norton, I don't get this virus alert. I haven't added it to exceptions so does this only concern different versions?

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Versions 1.03 and older are affected. You might not experience the issue if you didn't use RenGuard when Symantec patched their stuff about a month ago, since it's entirely possible that Symantec has undone that patch (or, at least, made it not-so-intrusive).
