I downloaded it in two parts from two different servers, as well, and had no problem. So I don't think that will be the cause of any trouble. I hope re-downloading fixes it for you. If not, I'm not too sure what else to look into, sorry.
Wellp, its a nope, double download leads to the same error, it must be something from my computer that may be failing or I lack something? But yeah, for now it seems I cannot play it. And on phone Idk even if would even run since I have a crappy phone, and no space haha.

Also I got this two errors while using 7zip to go from the .rar part 1 and 2 to the .zip, and then unzip it:
Eternum Extract Error 1.png Eternum Extract Error 2.png

Yet I just extracted it again and no error appeared the second time.

But are you getting the error when running the game or when extracting the ZIP? Because the previous messages were Ren'Py errors, but this seems like you got a wrong check when extracting.

I added those extraction errors as additional info, I didnt do so before because by simpy extracting a second time it seemed to properly extract what was missing the first time.

So yeah, the real error is when trying to run the game.

Alright, if you had those the first time around, then the problem is with the extraction. The ZIP is corrupted, and so one of the files you're extracting gets corrupted, preventing the game from executing.

I'd try maybe downloading from other sources, idk.

If you have run into problems in spite of downloading the game several times from different sites, then I wonder if the unzip utility that you are using could somehow be corrupt. Have you tried extracting anything other than Eternum with it? If not, then try downloading and extracting a different game with it, and see if that runs OK or not. If it doesn't then you could try downloading a different unzip utility and using that. (I suppose you would need one that you can download as a self-extracting .exe if your existing unzipper isn't to be trusted.)

I've already download a few other things and extracted them with the same tool, even other RenPy games, either way I've been using the same tool before the factory reset and previous to it it worked just fine (And it still does, at least with the other games I've used it for). I did try to use the computer's built in function for extracting Eternum, an it seems to find a problem when trying to extract the rpy file, so I wonder if my computer in itself has a problem with such files or I've been unlucky enough to have downloaded corrupted files one after another

With such loud speeches you can always expect a harsh response. As they say, "Never say never."

Whenever I play through the game again, I always enjoy this scene! Although I'm already close to version 0.8 :PogChamp:

I don't think it's a problem with your computer. It rather seems the files themselves are corrupted. Have you always downloaded them from the same sources? Maybe you could try downloading from another mirror. And/or downloading both parts in two different days, from the same source.

I've been trying with all different links, it always led to the same result, that's why I think it has to do with my computer, because or it's that or I've unlucky enough to download corrupted files Every Single Time. I have to say, whe using 7zip to extract, it mostly takes it's time extracting eternum.rpy or a file of similar name (Idk if it was rpy or just py) and it shoots a "Failed CRC" error, have to look more into that. Other solution I was thinking about was looking of directly downloading the File that I seem to be missing in every extraction.

It is freshly installed so I do not believe it's in need of an update, but I'll try anyways, just in case there's a problem I didn't see. In other news, apparently the game has now decided to boot up! So I'm now able to play!

I tried again with the last installation and despite the error it seems to have worked now after rebooting my pc? Idk why or how, but I'm not going to complain, gotta download the mod now, hope that doesn't fck sht up. Anyways, thanks for all your help and the time you took to reply to my problem.
