  • Help please re installing update

    I have just bought the cd version and went to internet game to install update. It gets to 100% then freezes with a window about not being able to find installation file. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

    Hi,

    This problem is likely to be caused by one of the following:


    1) Virus checker - A previous version of Norton Anti-virus was incompatible and would cause problems (checksum issues) until it was disabled whilst patching.
    2) Very important - whilst downloading ICC if running in a window it MUST have focus otherwise the download will fail. Users should not switch to other programs. This is also the same when playing on-line. When playing on-line it is actually recommended to play full screen.
    3) If a download attempt fails you must fully exit ICC and ideally delete the partially downloaded file before retrying.
    4) Firewalls must allow access to port 2279.

    What anti-virus do you use?

            Sorry for delay in replying.

            Go in to McAfee and set the game as an exception. Unfortunately like a lot of anti-virus, it doesn't actually turn off even if you tell it turn off. Please refer to the McAfee manual or contact McAfee support on how to set the game as an exception if you don't know how.

            May also be useful to to ease/lower the general control settings (normally have things like "General internet control, Medium" or something like that) you will find within McAfee, I'm not familiar with McAfee, so wouldn't know exactly where to look, but normally if you go to something like Advanced Settings.

            Can you ensure you are logged in to an administrator account and right-click on the game and select Run As Administrator when you try to patch the game.

              All sorted. Signed in as an administrator and that did the trick. Thanks for all the help.
