How would I fix this.  Seems I go to Update the game after downloading it, it updates normally, then needs to update the updater?  After that, it says my version of the game is a newer version than the server, so it will not connect.  I attempt to just play from here, and I get this error.  I tried accessing it other ways and I get the same thing.  Help?

Hiya! We have a stickied thread of Install Instructions that you should take a look at. Before you run the game updater, you need to download a patch.

Nilrem made a very thorough but basic list of update steps as well, if the instructions in the sticky give you trouble.

At this point I would suggest that you uninstall completely (you may have to reboot your machine first), and then follow the posted instructions.

My OS is Microsoft Windows XP professional, System type X-86 based, not sure what else.  I updated the game fully like I said before, but it seems it just will not work.  Bit torrent doesnt work for me, so I tried mirror 0 and downloaded from mirror 2.  I still have the file from Mirror 2 but you know that tool to verify its what it is?  I downloaded it and not sure how to run it.  Double click makes a dos screen open and close super fast so I cannot see what happened.  ANYWAYS, I just want this to work it looks like a brilliant game.

Edited::: Oh ok, didnt see you type that.  I will indeeed download the patch and try again.  Guess I should UNINSTALL the game first huh?  Ill re-post after.  Thanks.
