So i have this prolblem where the Updater takes 5-6 HOURS to connect to ...What? what is it connecting to here the update sever?

In any case any one know of a way to work around this? (other than not closing the game which I have been doing)

I have all the ports open on my router and am running it as an administrator on Vista it has access through the fire wall and aint vireis spy wear ad wear blockers are all letting it through so any one know how to fix this?

The only thing I can think of is that my Satellite Internet's latency is just that bad and it keeps timing out but once im in game i only have about 1/2 a sek power lag . (Most of the time)

Bingo. For some reason, satellite borks the updater even if it handles the game well. I know two people on satellite and they both have this problem.

Their solution: spam click the updater shortcut until you have a couple dozen of them trying to connect. One of them should get through within a few minutes.

Haden't thought of that trying it now.


Yep your right If you open mutable updaters (20-25 +) they attempt to connect independently this is a certified workaround.

A few other things.

Flush the DNS cache. Do this by opening a command prompt and type (without the quotes) "ipconfig /flushdns". It may be that the path it is trying to take to the update server is having problems.

Also, don't let the updater just keep running and running. Once the updater hits attempt 10 or 15, you may as well kill that instance.

Yeah, Satellite can have it's problems.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
