re-downloading

[metalhead666]

<p>I finally finished downloading the updates and I started playing.  I logged out for a quick 10 minute break, and when i tried to log-in again it started downloading the patch again!  This seems weird since I obviously downloaded the complete update seeing as how I was playing the game...  I really don't want to have to re-download the update every time I want to play.  How can I fix this??</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>It sounds like you were able to download the update but something on your computer is blocking it from getting applied correctly.  Are you using Vista or Windows 7?  Those operating systems are the most common cause and the issue can be corrected by following these steps:</p><p>1. Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"</p>
