Crysis (Error 1334) What Gives?

[Terronium 12]

First off, allow me to say hello to you all here; I've been an on again off again lurker for a few months and once this problem arose I decided now was as good of a time as any to join up.

On to the problem at hand - I just made the jump to 7 this past Friday and while everything is as great as I can remember since using the RC, I'm having a problem I've never had before: Crysis, or rather the 1.2 patch (even the 1.1) absolutely refuses to install due to the aforementioned error in the thread's title. I've tried/done everything I could find on the matter and nothing has worked. I can play the game just fine, I haven't edited any files, PunkBuster is installed, and everything else is in good-working order. W7 is up to date, as are my graphic drivers and everything else. It's beginning to irritate the living hell out of me considering I've never had this problem in XP (32-bit) before.

Here's the prompt for reference sake:

​

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Where did you get the game from?

Try updating the DirectX files and see what happens - DirectX Redist (June 2010)

I have Crysis installed on my machine with all patches installed. Windows 7 x64.

J & R Music World.

I'll try that and see what happens though.

EDIT: Didn't work. Same error message pops up.

 

[sygnus21]

Hehe.... J & R Music - use to love that store back in the 70's for my music.

Anyway try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, patch.

Also, if you're trying to install the 1.2.1 patch first, you need to install the 1.2 patch before installing the 1.2.1 patch. In short, start with the 1.2 patch, then 1.2.1 patch.

Let me know.

Tried the uninstall, reinstall, and trying to immediately patch it afterwards thing already - 'twas a no-go. And I'm definitely using (well, trying to use) 1.2 and not the 1.2.1 hotfix.

 

[sygnus21]

Hmmm.... don't know what to say right now. I know the game is compatible with Windows 7 x64. I have it installed on my system with SP1 installed.

So, the game installs, but not the patch?

Edit: Look here - inCrysis - Crysis Forums / Solutions for Patch 1.1 Installation Error. Is the DVD in the drive while installing the patch?

 

[Terronium 12]

That's right.

And I've tried downloading it from other reliable sites as well and it was still a no-go. I'm going to try installing it on to my F3's second partition and see if it could a problem with my Raptor. If you can think of anything else (assuming like everything else that this won't work) let me know. Thanks.

 

[sygnus21]

Re-read my post above. Check the link.

 

[Terronium 12]

I've seen that page so many times over the past few days. Haha.

Yeah, it's in the drive.

 

[sygnus21]

Well the only other thing I can suggest is to redownload the patches. Other than that I have nothing else right now.

If I think of something I'll post. One thing I will I will say though is to look through here - something may give you an idea - Tips on Troubleshooting Game Issues

Good luck.

 

[Terronium 12]

Quite the in-depth guide there and while I do appreciate all of the help you've provided thus far none of it seems to be the problem, or solves the problem I'm having - which for the life of me, I just don't understand.

 

[sygnus21]

Well as I said before I'm at a loss on why you can't get the patch to install. You say you looked at the link I provided for the issue but found nothing there to help as well. With that I can only suggest you give EA a call and see if they can get the disk replaced, or see if they have a fix.

Sorry.

 

[Terronium 12]

On a brand new installation of 7 on the second partition of the F3, and it still won't install the damn patch.

The error code however is slightly different. Now it reads as follows: "Error 1334. The file zpatch1.pak cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in cabinet file 'PCW_CAB_Family2'." What do I do?

 

[sygnus21]

Have you tried getting the patch from another place? Maybe the patch is corrupt. Seems strange the game installs fine but the patch won't install.

Have you seen this thread? - Crysis Update 1.2 available - Crysis Tech Help - Crysis: EA Forums

BTW what version is Crysis showing in you "Games" folder?



Mines show 1.2.0 which it correct. If yours is showing the same, you've already got the latest patch.

 

[Terronium 12]

Can't check at the moment as I'm back on XP, but I'm downloading the patch from the EA link now. So we'll see how that goes.

I do remember seeing 1.0.0 in the Add/Remove section of the CP.

EDIT: That also didn't work, even with a verified signature. I give up. I don't even care anymore. If I want to play it updated I'll just have to do it through XP.

 

[Terronium 12]

It...it installed.

I don't know how. I don't care how. It installed!

 

[nicolaas]

Strange.
Can you find the missing file with explorer on your HD?
If it is there, but the patch could not find it, perhaps your register has an error.
Perhaps you can try to uninstall and than run a reg cleaner.
Good luck

It's installed.

At any rate I'm glad to hear you got it installed Terronium. Out of curiosity did you just try the install again?

Yeah. I just downloaded the patch again from the EA forum link you provided, and it just went through the entire process without a problem. I don't know what's changed but I'm certainly glad it did change. Now I can erase the save game folder from my XP partition and just back this one up (since I've gotten farther anyway).

Thanks.

Sounds like you may have had a corrupt download the first time. Happy to hear the problem is resolved now.

Enjoy the game

Peace
