Update-error

Dreamer128 · 03-04-2006, 06:58 AM

Since I'm planning on starting playing online with a number of friends today, I decided it might be a good idea to update my game (which includes sou and hotu) to the latest version. Initiatially, the auto-updated worked well, until my download froze about half-way. (no error messages, the download bar just stopped moving) Therefor, I decided to cancel my download and turn of the firewall before trying again. Now, I get the following message:

Should I get the Critical Rebuild or is there something else I can do?

I suggest going to Bioware's official forums first and seeing if you can get any help there. Failing that, the next step would be to completely uninstall, reinstall, and try again.

The critical rebuild (for manual updating) is a big file, 80+ meg. If you're on dialup, that would be the last thing to try.

I managed it, luckily. Thanks for the help though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
