  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hell Let Loose\HLL\Content

    and delete the Paks folder.

Then attempt to verify your files again following the steps provided above.

Solution 3: Change your sound settings

Another solution for 'pak chunk errors' you can try is to change the following sound setting:
