Use 7-Zip (free):
If extraction fails with a CRC error → part 009 (or another) is corrupt. Try re-downloading just that part from the source.
Split archive files (like .001, .002... .009) must be exact. If even one byte is missing, the extraction will fail.
Fix: You must redownload only Part 009. Do not redownload the whole game. Use the same link/source you used originally to ensure the parts match.
