Impossible to download the game

[toka]

It became impossible to download the game that worked before ( Win10 ):

If I try to download via normal launcher, it downloads 150 Mb pieces of data, then the progress bar goes backwards to zero, and it starts downloading again, in an endless loop, with total download number remaining the same (5.1Gb Calypso only).

I uninstall the game and tried steam, also doesn't download, now I have these errors

try this:
check download region on steam - settings - downloads - change to some other close region to you,
also click Clear download cache at bottom.
See if works.

then go CMD - run as admin and do these:
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
each one run separately, after finish restart pc and see if you have connection re-established and if works through steam.

From looks of it looks like your pc has issue with checksum validation/conn issues, but lets try step by step.
lmk when you do above if worked

Change to another region for download in Steam - it seems to be working so far, thank you!
I'll let know if it's successful
Do you know how to download only Calypso in Steam and not all the planets?

i don't know is it possible tbh, client i know, steam not so much
But you should download whole game, as starting player you will definitely want to visit other planets for free stuff and cosmetics u get on starter areas/missions.
like Falcata - sword you get just by visiting Ancient Greece in Next Island, vehicles, clothes etc.

I'm not a starting player, been in and out since 2006

If it fails again, as i predict, because I ran into this exact same problem, what you need to do is, uninstall the game and then reinstall it to a different directory with a different name. Hope you solve it without buying another computer. Linux is a viable option too - but I can't get good speed on my Mint Linux with the Steam Proton setup - yet. If this works for you then we should invite socrates - since he's doing so much helping us!

Do this in the client loader under Tools>>Planet Data. There's also a "Verify Local Data" button in there - but that didn't help my problem neither only a reinstall into another directory helped.

UPDATE:
Changing country in VPN and using Steam to download files worked, after that the game starts but silently crashes, I don't even see any game window created.
Installing the game in a different folder didn't do anything good, the looped behaviour continued.

WHAT WORKED:
Replacing all *.pak files created with PC downloader in \public_users_data\dynamic_content\ with files downloaded via steam. The game runs OK, but I have to keep all 32Gb files there. Could be a problem with the loader where you uncheck planets you don't need, the downloader doesn't understand that.
#$%^ game, @#$% programmers, at least I'm not locked out of my accumulated PEDs, let's call it a success...

I can't understand how this is on MA's "if it ain't broke don't fix it" list. They are gonna port to UE5 and they still haven't fixed problems from before the Chrysis engine.
