PA how can u ♥♥♥♥ a small patch?
I will reinstall game after I got this annoying error,that some file is damaged.

And no, I wont spend my next 10min with fill up a ticket and make screenshot and stuff.

You know there is bug,so go fix it.

Its 2022 and still tough to release a patch without bug?

I have got the same problem: bin/BlackDesert32.exe is damaged.

Try this:
When you get the error from the PA Launcher when it tries to patch, click ok to the popup error, and then click the Scan File button (lower right) in the PA Launcher. The button looks like the words Scan Files in a bordered rectangular box. It doesn't really look like a button, but it is. Let it go through its whole downloading and patching process. It worked for me, hopefully that should make things work for you. 😊

Don't uninstall/reinstall.
Try this:
01) Through Steam Verify Game Files.
02) Play BDO, the PA Launcher will come up and start patching. Most likely will get an error popup of some sort. Click ok on that error. Wait for the patcher to stop proceeding or seem to be doing nothing.
03) Then click the Scan Files button and let it do its thing and hopefully you don't receive any errors while its doing it.
04) When done and if you did not receive any errors, click Start Game.

(NOTE: The regular PA Launcher patcher and the Scan Files option pulls from different download pools).

Sometimes, something is either missing from steam or missing from the game when an update happens. Steam only sees its files to work and the PA Launcher only sees the files it needs to work. The two don't always work in conjunction with each other. The above instructions forces that to happen.

Hopefully, that works for you. 😊

Stand-alone version patches without errors, my Steam version works after scan, I'm still waiting anxiously with my friend's game. (edit: works too)

I would have started the check anyway, but thanks for the tip (and the word here - the bug is bad, but seeing that you're not alone is somewhat reassuring).

It's almost like they know this happens from time to time and gave us a way to fix it....

Thank you for pointing out the scan part. I was about to uninstall re-install. I really didn't want to do that. I was getting the error over and over. Patching the game broke it. I was online before the maintenance just fine. Sigh. I tried the verify integrity of files but that didn't fix it but for now the scanning on the launcher fixed it. Until they break something else.

Still corrupt tried everything listed on these pages, nothing helped. I put in a re port as well. Any more info yet?

Update : looks like it was fixed as I tried it in the morning and the patch worked and it loaded.

2. delete bin\BlackDesert32.exe
3. delete bin\BlackDesert.dat
4. delete bin64\BlackDesert64.exe
5. delete bin64\BlackDesert64.dat

Start launcher and wait for downloads to complete.
