Unfortunate Problems related to default.cfg

[X-03]

Sorry if this has been posted/talked about/warned people of before, but a search gave me nothing.

So, I had problems with launching Unvanquished (default.cfg), so I thought, "Okay, maybe it didn't install properly." I decided to reinstall.
Now, on the reinstallation, I was told it couldn't finish the installation(IIRC, it gave no reason), and now, I still get the default.cfg error.

Couldn't load default.cfg — I am missing essential files — verify your installation?

Hi, thank you for posting a condump right away, this is outstanding! :D

Regarding your problem: You are missing pak1.pk3 to pak8.pk3 as well as vms-0.9.0.pk3. You can fetch them here (put them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Unvanquished\main\). You could also redownload pak0.pk3 in case your initial download failed in the middle of the file. Files are getting downloaded in alphabetical order so all your map-*.pk3 files should be complete.

I recommend that you wait until we release Beta 10 (which will happen in the next 24 hours) and simply run the installer/updater. It should automatically fetch all missing or broken *.pk3 files. (At least this is how it behaves on linux.)

Unfortunately, it won't fetch broken pk3s, you'll have to delete those manually before you run. Make sure to delete pak0.pk3 and map-citadel.pk3 before you re-run.

Not sure if anyone actually notices, but it's about time i said that the "delete old vms?" question from the install program actually does nothing whether you click 'yes' or 'no'.
There should be an option after installation to view home/appdata folder and run the game rather than run a pointless "readme" file.

@X-03: Despite what viech says being outdated, you'll also need pak9.pk3 which contains the important assets. They're download-able through the sourceforge page btw. If you can't be bothered downloading it, i'm sure you can download it by simply connecting to the official NA 1 server and download via server, but it will take a while.
