Install Issues (File format unknown or damaged)

[Vision_16]

I am getting fed up with trying to figure this out. I have WinRAR and I downloaded the .torrent file from the downloads page. Everytime I try and open the file it says "file format unknown or damaged."

How the hell do I install this thing? I tried searching for an answer but none of them worked.

if I'm reading this right, all you have d/led is the torrent file, you need the iso which is about 6 Gb in size.

follow these steps I posted a while back from the link below.

good luck!

Yes I DL'ed the torrent file. I clicked on your link...my question I guess is how to download the ISO file? Is BitTorrent an application to use torrent files or something?

I guess I just don't understand why I can't download an install executable like every other game or program uses.

As a free to play mod without corporate sponsors we can not afford the bandwidth costs . It's that simple.

Download qbittorrent from here:
qBittorrent | SourceForge.net

install it. run it.
File Menu ->File ->Add Torrent File
Click the prbf2_1.2.0.0_full.iso.torrent file.

Give the qbittorrent client enough time to download the 6.9Gb file.

Then when you have the 6.9Gb file, you can extract it with winrar , or mount the .iso file as a virtual DVD drive.
Much easier to mount the .iso file
Download Slysoft VirtualClone Drive from here: SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive
Install it.
This should associate .iso files with Slysoft Virtual Cone drive.
Navigate to the PR .iso file in Windows Explorer,
Mount the PR .iso to a drive, open the drive, click the Setup.exe

Here is a video tutorial on how to set up Virtual Clone Drive:

it is an application. the link I provided is a tutorial on how to use bittorrent.

as for the tech's option, it is a good option as well but going through all those steps using a virtual drive seems unnecessary when you can just download the iso using bittorrent then go through the steps I suggested in the other link would be the simplest option when installing the game.
3 clicks and you're in business. right click the iso, extract and double click auto run and let it rip.

also I suggest saving the iso either to a disc or flash drive so you avoid having to go through d/ling it again, I have my iso on a flash drive so if I need to reformat or want to put the game on another pc it's saved for that purpose.

good luck!

All right, got it installing now. Downloaded torrent, added it in BitTorrent, then used WinRAR to extract and run installer.

Thanks for the help guys.
