"Verify" your files if you're on Steam first. 

(Maybe?) These links could provide some info:

rsync:

AFAIK the only thing that uses rsync under cygwin is the patcher, which has been broken and unmaintained for years now. Why SQUAD has not removed (or, ya know, fixed it) it is properly baffling . Maybe they just like shipping broken software as traps for unsuspecting users.
I gave up flogging the "fix the patcher" horse some time ago, and the "stop shipping a broken patcher" one more recently. Just don't use it, it will almost certainly hose your install. Download the whole archive or use the .exe patches from the same page.

On that note, one more crack of the whip (maybe it's not quite dead): @SQUAD, where are the patches for MacOS and GNU/Linux? There were words about providing a proper update solution after 1.1-pre and I'm still waiting. Or have we just moved from "Steam users get perks" to "Windows users get special treatment"?
