Re: [Linux] How To Install Return of Reckoning

hello all,

I am running arch linux, everything updated, downloaded the RoR installer, it appeared to be the correct size 15.6gig.. and when I go to unzip it, I get a message:

an error occurred while accessing the archive:
Command: /usr/bin/unzip -o /dmnt/datastore/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-2024.zip -d /dmnt/datastore/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-2024

I have plenty of space on the destination, the folder gets created and some files are unzipped, and the end folder size is 6.6gb, so way smaller than the archive.

any idea what could be going on?

EDIT:
more info on error...
Archive: /dmnt/localdata/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-December2024.zip

error: invalid zip file with overlapped components (possible zip bomb)
To unzip the file anyway, rerun the command with UNZIP_DISABLE_ZIPBOMB_DETECTION=TRUE environmnent variable
------------------------
is it safe to run with that environment variable set?


thanx

check if the zip is still somehow corrupted

Code: Select all

unzip -t /dmnt/datastore/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-2024.zip
or try extracting with verbose info to see whats up

Code: Select all

unzip -v -o /dmnt/datastore/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-2024.zip -d /dmnt/datastore/download/games/warhammeronline/RoRInstaller-2024
also make sure the directory you are trying to extract to is there and has permissions ofc.

try different tools for decompressing.
