I have attempted to install Spiral Knights repeatedly for a day now and I can't seem to get it to work. I have updated all of my video drivers, uninstalled and updated java. It continues to tell me that the digest file is invalid or there is a premature eof. I have tried deleting the digest file, as well as replacing both the digest and getdown files as suggested on the technical support forums. Nothing is allowing it to work. I also tried installing through steam instead of the website, but no luck. The furthest I have made it is to the logon screen then it says the client needs updating and the same problems return.

I went to the links on the other forum post that had a [solved] in front of it, saved the sites as directed, and copied them into the spiral knights folder replacing the original ones. They are just random numbers and letters. At least random from my perspective since they don't form words of any kind.

The start of the most recent
The start of the most recent digest.txt should be:
getdown.txt = 41471ac960a35374dccad503b084f16b
code/config.jar = ba3811d4681de171c47ec1b2d6608b00
Followed by more things like that.
The start of getdown.txt looks like:
#
# $Id: getdown.txt 19918 2005-03-23 20:44:52Z mdb $
#
# Project X development client deployment descriptor
Followed by a lot more junk.
Is that what your files look like? If not, something has gone wrong.

You may have grabbed old
You may have grabbed old versions of the files, the up-to-date files from the (Aug 24 Patch) are here:
http://download.threerings.net/spiral/20110824144649/getdown.txt
http://download.threerings.net/spiral/20110824144649/digest.txt
When you open those, do you see what I posted before? If you don't, that's bad.
If you do, save those files and use them to replace what you currently have.

I replaced both files with the ones you have posted and It still says premature eof. Thank you for all the assistance btw.

We try to help whenever we can...
You're still getting the error even with the current digest and getdown files?
BOTH files need to be the same version. Mismatched versions don't work.
Open your version.txt and replace that number with this:
20110824144649
You may also have to shut down your antivirus software while the game patches.
(Turn off antivirus, launch SK, let SK patch, once SK starts you can turn antivirus back on)

Could you update the title of this thread, so other people will see that your problem was solved?

These fixes are not working
firewall exceptions done tried taking the files you have here and replacing mine, tried reinstalling, turned off antivirus.... premature eof in browser version, invalid digest in steam version.
This only happens since the latest patch ...
Do i just have to not play until the next patch ?

How is it that you tried to replace the digest and getdown files? Also, when you open those files in your browser, do you see readable text or just garbage?
