probably at some point. Cann't remember if their working on that as part of the update or not. If i remember I could go back and look
Finally there is real progress on the "Headers Error" in the official ZIP file that 7-Zip complains about. The Ada implementation of ZIP has excellent diagnostics. As I didn't want to compile an Ada program, I downloaded the latest available binary distribution for Windows from

So we now have two independent programs agreeing that the ZIP file is defective. I think it's time to hand this over to the developer. Only they can know what tool they use to create their ZIP files, and forward the bug report to that tool's author -- or just use a different tool.
Is someone in contact with Altus and Herdone?

I have on everything else, but when things happen for those stats it gives me the points and then removes them.
But it feels as though I should not do that event yet then, if the point is just going to be wasted.
And we had dozens confirming that it's fine.

Unfortunately, I am almost too stupid to use Discord, and certainly too stupid to understand why anyone would want to use it for support or publicity other than to torture their users. As far as I can see, Discord is not fit for any other purpose. Which was a roundabout way of saying I am boycotting this abomination. So maybe someone else would like to let them know?
Sure, but there is no contradiction. The vast majority of decompression programs handle this file just fine, with no comment. 7-Zip also handles it just fine (I think), but pedantically points out that the file doesn't follow the standard without saying how. Which has become a problem because 7-Zip is so widely used and its users make a lot of noise about the 'broken' file. Part of the problem is that if you google for the text of the warning, you are told it's typically a symptom of a corrupted download. So many of these users try to download it in various different ways trying to fix the perceived problem. If I was the developer of the game, that's not the kind of situation I would want my game to be associated with.
Except that the people who are having problems are using 7zip and WinRAR just like the ones who are not having problems. The same versions of the same programs. There seems to be something else at play here.
If someone using graphical 7-Zip on Japanese Windows has a problem with the file and I can reproduce it on US Linux using the Linux console version of 7-Zip and a completely unrelated program, then it seems almost certain that something is actually wrong with the file. Maybe we should compare check sums?
But while I wrote this I had another idea: Could it be related to a weird CPU bug? My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7, and it doesn't run entirely stable.
Odd, since I am also using an Ryzen 7 on this PC, though I don't seem to have any stability issues with it. I run a heavy load on it daily.
But that is what I was thinking, there seems to be some other factor at play, but I am not able to track it down so far. It's one of the strangest things I have seen in a while. It seems pretty rare, whatever it is.
OK. I posted your bug on discord
Here's the reply I got, and the checksums mentioned in that reply
EDIT:
I stepped away for a bit, and came back with more discussion, so attaching another screenshot

linux users can always use proton as a workaround . i can confirm this game runs just fine with it on steamos .
The issue seems while extracting, a handful of people are getting checksum errors, but why, I can't figure out, since most of us are not having that problem.
Thanks!
Interesting discussion. It went in a very strange direction with this silly (and potentially dangerous) digression about Linux. I hope the fact that a Linux user (me) is trying to help fix a problem that is usually reported by Windows users doesn't lead to the perfectly good Linux support of the game being removed for no good reason.
It does in fact seem to be a problem with itch.io not serving the original ZIP files, unless someone else is interfering further down the line (unlikely). I downloaded the PC version from home and now also the Mac version from work, and both have incorrect checksums:
$ sha256sum the-headmaster-*
46f0b3b6ca1010e7d385d39583a7b44fe0196f11240487a846e2e4d16fe6d00b the-headmaster-mac.zip
32188fef8b586661c1ea0b8d7f113dc62d60e19ed2ae7ab9c04b2da027ff8b10 the-headmaster-win.zip
Both were downloaded with an up-to-date Firefox-based browser direct from itch.io. Both cause the following diagnostic message when tested using the advanced diagnostic tool unzipada.exe -t:
raised ZIP.ARCHIVE_CORRUPTED : Bad (or no) end-of-central-directory
(This is followed by some extremely technical information.)
That wouldn't be a problem, but the fact that 7-Zip gives out an obscure warning ("Headers Error") while successfully extracting the files is causing some confusion.
PS: I also downloaded the Windows version from Gofile, and it is the same semi-broken version that I got from itch.io (same sha256 checksum).
PPS: The file sizes are also slightly different. My PC version ZIP file has a size of 8,072,505,099 bytes. The screenshot says it should be 8,072,455,859. So the file I got from itch.io is 49,240 bytes (48.1 KB) larger.

Now I also tested the Windows version of Mykock's Manor (again as downloaded from itch.io) with unzipada -t. It found no error.
However, the Windows version of Stormside, as downloaded from itch.io, produces exactly the same error!
Potentially, itch.io is manipulating the archives of some games, presumably only doing it for the most popular downloads, and probably adding a payload of about 48 KB.
There is an alternative explanation: There are actually two official versions of The Headmaster V 0.16.4.3, and the checksums in the screenshots from Discord are of the other one.
A third explanation (least likely IMO): It could be done by Cloudflare, potentially targeting users in some countries only.
PS: I tested two other popular Ren'Py games that have download options direct from itch.io. That New Teacher does not have this problem. Cosy Cafe does.
PPS: See below. It turns out that itch.io is serving an older variant of 0.16.4.3. It also turns out that the problematic ZIP files are created by Ren'Py, which uses a faulty Python library. The Ren'Py games without this problem have probably just been extracted and then zipped with a different tool. So nothing nefarious is going on.

Thanks a lot for doing this! That's actually an almost perfect resolution of the matter. Evidently the problem is with Ren'Py, which uses a Python library that doesn't follow the ZIP standard correctly. Some Ren'Py games don't have this problem, which is apparently due to either patching their Python to fix the bug, or (much more likely), unpacking and repacking their ZIP files for some manual changes. You can tell that a lot of developers do that, because when they are using Windows it typically leads to the executable bits required by the Linux version getting lost because they don't exist on Windows filesystems. I have to fix that for every tenth Ren'Py game or so that I download.
Apparently there are unzip tools other than unzipada that refuse to extract these files. Which is why CythereanDay recommends using 7-Zip, which extracts with a warning.

I'm a on Mac, and I also get this executable error thingy all the time, but I never knew the reason (not saying I understand all that you're saying, tech-wise, but I kind of get it, in an elusive, just-out-of-my-reach kind of way)
I'll relay your latest comment over, but I don't really expect more on this matter, until maybe next version build of this game: who knows, maybe all this back-and-forth will result in some improvement in the future, right?
The only issue with that is that it is happening to only a handful of people, on a lot of games. I am seeing this error on many pages here.
