Help, so I guess the updater is trying to download the newest patch but I keep getting this error




I'm running Windows 7, have a 1TB hard drive. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It took a while, but I found a work around. Had to go into the User Account Control settings and disable, move the tab to the very bottom, it and seems to work fine.

Could you expand on what you did to fix this? I have the same issue at the moment, and can't seem to figure out what you did to correct it.

I just had an odd thing happen while updating. The files all downloaded fine but, when the 'applying' step started, it just sat there with no progress and an insane expected time - just like Unknown's screenshot. However, I wasn't very patient. After maybe 15 seconds I popped open AVG anti-virus, disabled the active shield, quit the updater, and restarted the updater. The applying step started changing files in less than five seconds.

I did this on both test and production.

P.S. I did a verify files on the production updater and everything verified just fine. If this were a false positive coming from AVG, wouldn't that have failed? I seem to be able to play the game just fine, too.
