Good luck

aanker,

Those were the exact properties of my corrupted NSS_Balao.dat, so I have no idea what happened. Maybe gremlins or old age?

Break...

Yes, it's in there so you can download and transplant the file.

Rockin Robbins,

That worked perfectly. I had downloaded an official patch executable thinking I could extract the file from it, but when opened with 7zip there were no files I could recognize as game files. I'm on metered internet where I am, so I didn't want to go randomly downloading large files hoping to find the right one and blow my quota up. Your cued download was a life saver.

It allows me to save my bandwidth for the truly important things: Netflix, YouTube, and Skype/Google Voice/Whatsapp calls to COMHOMEPAC (but not in that order in case you run into her ).
