Crash 1 - Had a fatal pigg error for the first time ever and a someone in game suggested I delete the Coh.checksum file which I did.

The game has become extremely laggy and when I click on or get a new contact the contact face is a black box.

Crash 2 - ./piggs/player.pigg: Corrupt pig file detected
Read failed for file: player_library/V_HUGE_GLOVE.geo
-1

Your data might be corrupt, please run the patcher and try again

Crash 3 - ./piggs/player.pigg: Corrupt pig file detected
Read failed for file: player_library/V_HUGE_GLOVE.geo
-1

Your data might be corrupt, please run the patcher and try again

What should I do? The checksum file is still in the garbage bin on my desktop. Should I put it back in the Coh folder?

Thanks in advance for any and all help on this matter.

If it didn't it should of reverified the files after finding no checksum file.

Check, and delete 1) the checksum file if a new one was generated, and b) the player.pigg file referenced in the crash. It should then re-download a (uncorrupted) player.pigg file.

Ok. I did that. It went through a checksumming routine. Then it downloaded the file manifest. Then fixed the piggs/player file i deleted. Logged on...noticed that the contact faces are still a black box. Game is still laggy but not as much. Might be because my comp is weak and I'm in Cap. If it crashes I'll return here. Thanks for the help. I just noticed that looking at a players info also shows there profile as a black box.

Took about 30 min but it did crash again. I didn't get an error message however. But when I looked in the coh folder, I saw another checksum file. Deleting it doesn't seem to be working so what do I do now?

pretty much every time the game runs, it will check vs. that checksum file. if one isn't there, it will make a new one. It's part of the file verification method.

the reason for deleting it is to force it to make a new one, since the old one was letting your corrupted .pigg file pass.

Decided to just roll back my comp to yesterday. I had installed a bunch of updates for the comp this morning and that's when all the problems started. Everything seems to be running as before. Thanks for your help Rajani.

Going out on a limb here...do you have an nvidia graphics card and you updated to the latest drivers?

There's been some reports of some people's games becoming crash happy with the latest nvidia drivers for some reason.

I have a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I updated that and as far as I know it was the same thing I already had, but that's when the game started goin nuts.
