SAMPLE.CAT does not contain 49 sound files

[Bonesnap]

Hello!

I'm currently on Linux Mint 21.1, but saw that the latest nightly is ~3 years old (any chance of making a newer one?), so I pulled down the Windows installer and installed it via WINE. I have a previous installation of TFTD from Steam, so I pointed the installer to that location to copy the game files. Everything seemed to install correctly, but when I try to run it I get the following error:

ERROR: C:\users\brent\Documents\OpenXcom\TFTD/SOUND/SAMPLE.CAT does not contain 49 sound files.

Looking through all the file locations everything seems to be where it's supposed to be. Below is the log that's generated:

I searched online but couldn't find anything that's related. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time!

Game is trying to load the 49th sound effect from the SAMPLE.CAT file.
And doesn't find it.

How big is your SAMPLE.CAT file?

[Bonesnap]

Thanks for the reply!

According to the file manager, the SAMPLE.CAT file is 1.1MB or 1,105,112 bytes. Just in case, I reinstalled the game via Steam and copied the file over again and still get the same error, but the file size is also identical, so no difference there.

Mine is also 1,105,112 bytes.

Don't know what's wrong

Could you check OXCE version? as I see it have bit different handing of this code and could avoid this error here.
