Aah, so now you're going with the "I was first" defense? Ok, so let's try a little step by step shall we?
Did you actually identify the issue? Nope, you just stated that you tested in 7zip, found nothing wrong so the users must be doing something wrong.
Did you notify the dev and/or site staff so that the issue could be corrected? Well no, because you'd "proved" there was no issue by testing with 7zip, even though the people reporting the issue clearly stated they had an issue with opening the archive in WinZip.
Did you provide an alternative method for opening the archive? Yes, you did! You actually got this one right!
You might want to re-read my posts, I confirmed that there was an issue with opening the archive in WinZip and explained what the issue was so that others would be able to understand precisely what was causing the issue. I also confirmed that opening the archive in 7zip did indeed work and did allow for extraction of the archive. I also advised that I was reporting my own post so that site staff would be made aware of the issue, that way the actual cause of the issue could be addressed correctly (which it then was).
I did NOT advise anyone to "RE-download a copy", nor did I remove a source (I simply cannot remove, add or do anything to the OP because I'm not site staff). If anyone decided to re-download after the archive was fixed then that was their choice to make, but it certainly wasn't something I either advised or told anyone to do. I am however happy to know that anyone downloading the archive after it was fixed won't have any issues with opening the archive in whatever compression software they prefer to use.
Oh, as for your "I gave a solution on 26th of January. You came up on 5th of February, more than a week later." comment, I simply missed noticing that the game had been updated. It happens sometimes because, well, let's be honest, there's a whole lot of games on the site to check out and sometimes I just simply take a quick look at the first page or two of the "Latest games & updates" sub-forum. I never even knew there was some sort of competition when it came to helping others, I always figured that trying to help others was more about, er, you know, actually helping others!
You made mistakes, you told people there was nothing wrong with the archive and even stated that "There is no "*" in front of filenames" but you were wrong! Sure, you advised people to use 7zip to open the archive instead but you simply didn't try opening the archive in WinZip to check if there was a problem! If you refuse to even understand where you made mistakes then you'll never be able to learn how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future! Do you even comprehend that I'm simply trying to make you realise what and where you went wrong?
But no worries, clearly you simply don't want to learn so I'll not bother with wasting any more of my time or yours!To anyone expecting and/or hoping to witness some sort of flame war, with insults flying all over the place: sorry, nothing to see here so please move along to the more interesting stuff!
Hopefully some folks have at least been entertained for a little while, maybe even amused! So, that said, we now return you to your regular viewing!
