patcher window just goes blank as soon as you press start update?

Mythic update:

Welcome message

Checking for updated files...

Please wait.

Then nothing or "cant parge product update information"


This what happens in my case, very annoying...

The patcher is a truly huge piece of hacked up rubbish. It needs :-

a). Some basic error reporting, what happens when it cant connect to the update server, some tests to see that it is still updating properly at every step.

b). Callbacks to the operating system to allow windows to do something else while the patcher crashes your machine instead of giving a decent error.

hopefully youve got the same problem as me and it will just magically disappear.

hrm random thought - since the game.dll will have changed - do you maybe need to do something with your firewall to let it through?

Saw something mentioned somewhere about that for 1.80/darkness rising...

Filmgoblin.. tried starting it without any firewall (norton or windows), still wouldnt work.

Shut all firewalls down and then started. I even put my Internet Explorer security things to lowest of the lowest (if that would matter here..:confused: )

damn :( was just a thought from reading some other stuff but guess no joy.

I'd switch all that lot back on again now though :)

Only other thing I'd say to try is patching from a fresh install :(

get someone you trust to mail you the files.. IIRC it was only a couple of files they updated?

(probably hell getting around all the blocking of .exe files though:p)
