Whenever i try to start the game, the box shows up that says "Patcher is initializing", then an error window with the title "Error 0x3" and the body text saying "Patch Download Unavailable" shows up, with no info on how to fix it. Please, tell me how to fix this!
i use windows XP, and this has been going on for 3 days now, I really want to play the game again! please please tell me how to fix it!
I dont know if this will work but most of the times it does.
1-Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
2-Theres a file called Hosts, open it with notepad
3-Check if the last line is "127.0.0.1 LocalHost" (without the quotes).If that isn't the last line or if you dont even have it, just add 127.0.0.1 LocalHost making it the last line, if you have it but it isn't the last line, delete all the lines so it becomes the last one.
4-Save the file and restart the computer.
5-After the restart, go to start and run and type "cmd" (without the quotes) then it will open a new window and you have to type "ipconfig /flushdns" (again without the quotes) then just wait for the message "Windows IP Configuration" and you are done.
I hope this fix your problem, good luck
It didn't work, but thank you for the suggestion
If that didn't work, make sure your firewall or antivirus isn't blocking the game access.
If that didn't work either it might be a network issue, try reseting your router/modem
It's odd, i switched profiles on the computer and now i can play... It really is strange
omg thank you it worked :D
make sure you are connected with internet explorer because i had the same problem and i just conect with internet explorer and worked fine
