hello guys, I suddenly have a problem with the promod files, I have done a new download from the promods download site, but every time I want to unpack the file with 7-zip I get a message (can't open file as archive) even with winrar doesn't work. what can i do to fix this? and the strange thing is that the game starts but as soon as I click on drive the game crashes.

thanks for the answer, it goes wrong in unzipping the files, if I then use the testfiles beta program I get 7 errors, I have been playing ets2 with promods for years and never had any problems. My PC has recently done a major update, maybe it's up to that, I really don't know

Hi,

do you use the paid download or the free download?

hi,

I always use the paid download.
Never had any problems with it, I think it is more a PC related problem.
winrar and 7-zip indicate the same problem

Hi,

the file tester only works with the free download, not with the paid one.

Is WinRAR (or 7-zip) up-to-date? If your WinRAR or 7-zip is outdated, extracting is failing too.

You need to download all the parts first. After that you only need to extract part 1.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
