Topic: Repair/check tool for game files
This happened to me lately and I have no explanation so far (possible fs corruption), but I found the game crashed after leaving it AFK for a few hours (family life). Afterwards I could not start the game again.
I am running in Wine/Linux and so far I had 0 trouble with the game. However after the crash described above I got a stupid error and the game produces crashlog dumps (even when I copy the files to my work laptopt with Windows). I replaced the exe file with a new one from perpetuum setup, but go the same problem. My conclusion is that one of the gbf files is corrupted.
Is it possible to create a check/repair tool (or does it already exist?) that looks at the stored game files and checks them for consistency at the very least ? I guess I can remove the Local.gbf file without problem (mostly losing settings) but if the main gbf is corrupted, I have no way to find out without reinstalling the complete game.
I don't know if I should post this in Bugs or Feature requests, so mods please move the thread if I picked the wrong place.
