ErrorCode 15: Quake Live core extraction failed

[Grendel81]

I get the same error, but only in IE8. When I try to use FF, it just sits at a blank ad screen. Clicking on an ad brings up an error about not knowing how to handle ttp: type requests. I'm running Windows 7 Professional (x86), SP 1, IE 8.0.7601.17514, and FF 3.6.16. This all worked yesterday. I've deleted the contents of the Quake Live folder, and allowed them to update. I've reinstalled my video drivers from NVIDIA (267.59), but still no joy. Several reboots as well (after each stage).

UPDATE: Today I connected to a match, I believe because the ad that runs before connecting to the match actually ran. When I tried a different arena, it wouldn't connect. Maybe one of the admin types can see if their ad server is passing the right information?

Resolved. use FF, install ad blocker. works everytime now.

They are letting us die QL doesn't support Chrome...had to use IE 8, still got this problem. How do I fix it?! Q_Q

Got it Fixed.
What I did?

Once the above steps have been completed, if this still fails, locate your baseq3 directory which contains the .pk3 files and remove it (it should be at the same level as the /home/ directory covered in this post , the game will recreate this directory and re-download the files with correct permissions when you log in again.

Yes. Win7 users do this, go to your explorer and in the adress bar put this:

%AppData%\..\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\home\baseq3

Then do the instructions above and should be working fine!

I am getting this error right now. The solution with removing baseq3 folder didn't work. Help me I'm desperate:] I'm using win xp sp3 and updated firefox.
