When im starting the game....file corrupted - data/europe/items/items.pak
Hey @tical_,
If you're encountering this issue at startup, it's an indicator of some corrupted, missing, or incompatible files within your game client. Oftentimes, the items.pak may have been placed incorrectly. You can resolve this in a few different ways based on your situation and what you're aware of regarding the problem.
Firstly, make sure to add the game to all your antimalware software and firewall's whitelist.
1. Should you have made any recent alterations to your client, you'll likely have an idea about the cause. If alterations were made to the items.pak, revert to the original and clear everything from your data/europe/items/items.pak directory.
2. In cases of other corrupt or missing files, perform a repair via the game launcher, or redownload it if repair isn't effective.
