PC Games Error and Solutions

What is the password for downloaded file! i can’t find the password for rar ?

There is a special page made for this purpose. You can go to the “Password” page to see the password for files. In many games, you will find it just before download button. A shortcut to the “Password” page is also in main menu of the site.

How to get Fast Download Speeds?

• We strictly recommend you to download games using Internet Download Manager latest version. Internet Download Manager gives awesome download speeds and also has resume capabilities to download files without any error. That will prevent the downloaded files from being corrupted while downloading.
• If you use Mozilla Firefox as your primary browser then you can also use DownTheAll Addon for Mozilla. It also gives greater speeds with resume capability included too.

Why Games give Errors + Solution?

• Sometimes your antivirus program may block the downloaded files or may detect the exe setup file of a game as a false positive and remove it. To prevent that from happening, Always Keep your anti-virus “disabled” even before you start the download.
• Some big Games companies also pay the anti-virus program owners to stop these full version PC games from running on your PC to prevent pirated games.

That’s why we recommend you to first disable all antivirus shields and then start the download. You can do so via

1. Control panel if you have windows defender installed and active.
2. Taskbar if you are running 3rd party antivirus programs such as Avast, Avira or Mcafee etc.

How to fix Runtime Errors?

Your pc needs to have all the following tools loaded and installed completely on it to run majority of the pc games that you will download from here. Make sure you have all these, if you do not have them yet then download and install them first.

• Directx 9.
• Direct x11.
• Visual C++ Redist Packages (Install Every 32bit and 64bit Files from this Package).
• Steam: You will see that the majority of the Pc games require this tool to run smoothly. Install it before downloading any game from PCGAMESPUNCH site.
• Origin: This is yet another tool required by the all big games with good graphics. Download and install before installing the actual game on your PC.

Getting errors like “CRC failed in the encrypted file” OR “Checksum errors (wrong password ?)”: 

The first thing to make sure of is that you are using password the right way. Make sure that the password you copied is without any space or inverted commas or anything else. We recommend you to type the password manually.  If you still are getting the same error and you are sure that password is correct, then your downloaded archive is corrupted. The archive corruption takes place due to the interruption while downloading the file and bad connections. We on PCGAMESPUNCH, first test all the games and confirm as running before uploading and sharing on our site.

To solve this issue, first make sure that you have latest winrar 5.xx version installed on your pc. Delete the corrupted file completely from your computer, empty the recycle bin and Re-download the file. our recommendation is to use a different web browser this time. You can use Mozilla firefox or Google Chrome or Baidu browser too. For faster downloads, we recommend you to use Internet Download Manager (IDM) on your pc.

Getting error about “STEAM” OR “ORIGIN” OR “UPLAY” while starting the game:

After you have installed the game, If you try to run the game via launcher or game icon, and get an error like these, the chances are you have not used cr@ck or the cr@ck you used is not supported. Or the possibility of your antivirus program deleting the cr@ck file completely can also occur. Cr@cks are usually blocked by antivirus programs as malware or virus. Trust us, these are completely safe to use files. So you should first disable your antivirus before installing the game or applying the cr@ck. Or add the cr@ckfiles or launchers of the games in exclusion list of your antivirus. Once done, Disable the antivirus again, Re-Install the game, and recopy the cr@ck to the installation directory of the game.

If you do not know how to add a file or program or cr@ck to exclusion list, Follow the tutorials linked below for your respective antivirus program.

Difference between Repack & Full Game?

• Repacked games are usually smaller in size, the reason for smaller size is:
• Highly compressed iso or rar archive.
• Sometimes, the audio or video quality is reduced.
• In multilingual games, languages other than English are removed to reduce the size.
• Repacks are precr@cked games, So all you have to do is install and play.

Can Online/Multiplayer be played in cr@cked games?

You can not play multiplayer or online games with a cr@cked game because for that, the game needs to be connected to the official servers to play multiplayer. That way they will know that the game is cr@cked, and they instantly ban the players. However, you can play with unofficial servers like Tunngle, Hamachi or Gameranger.
We do not support these servers on our site. You can visit their respective websites for more information or to know how to use them.
