I am very happy that BftB is finally out - I am downloading as I write this message.

I would like to have some kind of verification which would assure me that the file's integrity has not been compromised. Most download sites provide such verification in the form of MD5 checksums. Would it be possible to get the MD5 checksum of the current built that is being offered for download. Naturally, I would prefer that this information is provided by Matrix Games, but I would not mind if a couple of you guys post your MD5 checksums as well. This would make me sleep easier tonight

Thanks in advance!

My MD5 checksum is: 9c11b285057ac1a614a0f88d413b9d1b

Would anyone be kind enough to post his/hers?
Here is a free utility which can give you your MD5 checksum: http://www.md5summer.org/

Thanks.

The MD5 checksum is obsolete
 
Should be using MD7 checksum.

I am not sure whether this was supposed to be some kind of a joke, but it certainly wasn't helpful.
While it is widely known that the MD5 is not the ultimate indicator of a file's integrity, it is both the easiest and the most commonly used method for integrity verification.

Finally, meaningful contributions to this thread would be much appreciated - such as the ones that provide an answer to the specific question which was asked.

Why don't you just install the game - that would be the best indicator?

Thanks for the reply Andrew.

Unfortunately, installing the game would not be the best indicator. Generally speaking, compromised file integrity would not always prevent software from installing "successfully" unless you have a file integrity verificator inside the installation package (which, I believe, is not the case here).

As for installing the game - I did install it and, so far, there are no problems whatsoever

I still would like to have the checksum verification option though. It is widely used and I do not see a reason why, since it would not cost a dime, Matrix Games does not provide MD5 checksums for its downloadable products.

Wild_9,

I'll ask the guys from Matrix about this.

Hi all,

My MD5 is:
9c11b285057ac1a614a0f88d413b9d1b

Command Ops BftB v4-0-229 (COBftB-SetupRelease-DR-v40229).exe


Thus all is OK... [:)]

Wild_9,

I'll ask the guys from Matrix about this.

Dave, I checked with the Matrix release that was on our FTP and they are the same - the MD5 is the same - all is OK!

Thanks Arjuna! You are the best

BTW, congrats on the new release! I really appreciate the hard work that the PG team has put into making a great product even better.
