Downloaded file has the wrong hash

I'm trying to install PoE on a freshly imaged PC, but I'm consistently getting the error message:

"
Downloaded file Bundles2/Art/Models/NPC/Heist/Vinderi.bundle.bin has the wrong hash


I tried rebooting the pc, deleting the install folder and relaunching the installation, but nothing works.

Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?

Thanks ~

I'm getting the same error here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3293398

Cannot figure out a solution.

you will need to use a VPN solution.
I deleted the install folder, again, and tried to launch the installation using a VPN (private internet access), but the result is still the same.
Are you sure that you've done it correctly? I had the same problem and using VPN fixed it.

I used Proton VPN; Make sure your client is closed, and then use vpn to connect to some other region (e.g. if your EU connect to NA), and then start PoE client again. It should work

Edit:
I didn't download full game again, just the file that had the wrong hash.

Same issue here. Not gonna use a VPN, not my job to fix GGG's mistakes.
Waiting on fix.

it could also be ISP cache files / proxy = not GGG's problem.
This is why VPN is suggested to try.
Same thing here - cannot resolve the installation even though after a couple of tries I'm missing only a hundred kilobytes to finish the download.

Installing in East Canada if that helps with troubleshooting.

This is a recurring issue since POE's release which has consistently been "fixed" by GGG and resurged multiple times throughout the years. This doesn't happen with any other game, for the record.

It never ever happens for me or other Danish players. This is because the ISP's in DK doesn't fuck up the internet access.....

Not saying that GGG doesn't fuck up things it just that many other players can solve this problem using VPN.....
