LOTRO 'unable to decrypt' possible solution

This pic is always going to be useful for something...
Edit: Just a second, working on this post...
I ran into this error when I went to continue patching LOTRO, saying it was unable to decrypt some of the files it downloaded.

After googling about a bit one solution one I found was where the guy went into the program files, into turbine, into the lord of the rings file then used the search function (ctrl-f) and searched for files that had been changed in the last few days where it happened.


After some experimentation (and game crashes! Yikes!) I think this is the one that was the problem. Once deleted the client downloads it again.

client_hirez_aux_1.datx

Use at thine own risk, if that didn't already occur to ye! Just putting out a possible solution because I had real trouble hunting down this answer, so just repeating it to make it easier for latter folks to find.

  8. Hey, this really worked, and in about 10 seconds. The error first occurred for me after running the Defrag suite, for what it is worth.

  10. That's the ticket. Wasted time trying the old 'delete everything and start over in a carefully known system' routine. Agree that virus scanning etc probably not the typical culprit either. My issue occurred with Vista.
