Unless you have a preference for QuickPar, I'll use
ICE ECC to create a small recovery file, which can be used to either fix a minor corruption, or determine what amount of recovery files would be needed to more extensive problems.
Down load the
recovery file (817KB), as well as ICE ECC (702KB
install or 629KB
zipped).
Extract the zip file to a folder on your hard drive (such as c:\temp).
After installing the ICE ECC program (or extracting the zip file to an appropriate folder), start it. Under the toolbar, the top pane will list all available drives. Browse to where you extracted the ecc file (ie double click on the local disk 'c:' then the folder 'temp') and double click the ecc file (or select it and click on the 'Verify' toolbar button).
In the window that pops up, browse to the folder containing the DC install files and click 'OK'.
Right after you click OK, the window will be refreshed and the title bar changed, this time asking for a folder to place the recovered file. Select a different folder in the left pane and click OK.
The program will then read the DragonCommander-2.bin file, listing blocks (sections of the file) that are different than expected. If the damage is limited to a relatively small section, the program can repair the file right away.
If there is additional damage, the program will list the error 'Not Enough Recovery Blocks' (with a yellow background colour) in the bottom message pane, followed by the fraction of the available recovery blocks to the total number required. Depending on the number of blocks needed I can upload more files. If most of the file is read as corrupt, then it would be easier to re-download it.
About another 3 hours and Belgium will be at the start of the work day, so Larian can also double check that the updated file was properly propagated. My upload speed isn't great, so if I had to upload the whole thing it would probably be just as fast to wait for Larian to check before re-downloading it from the server.
