Ok now really confused as I have got it working on the laptop thats on the same network etc (but very under spec for the game) its got the same firewall software etc yet it will not work on my PC. The only thing that has changed sice i last played was I got 2 new games ant thats all

K been looking around and googleing this error seems to pop up a lot and there's not a single fix that works every time so looks like I can't play any more :( Oh well I'll just have to wait for the PS3 verson I have had more problems with the game then I care to mention yet not a single other game I own fails on me each patch!

I was having the same problem. Creating a new administrator user account in Windows worked for me.

Yep as mentioned I done this already that's why im puzzled as all the normal things to do have failed to fix the problem, the only thing that has changed on my system since I last played as I got The witcher via steam and Age of empires online via Games For Windows marketplace oh and a nvidia driver update but other than that I haven't done anything else

It happened to me another time, before this last one, and I had to do a full wipe and reinstall Windows to get it to update correctly, unfortunately. :(

Outch :(

Well good news I have fixed the problem after pissing around with tons of settings and changing equipment I decided to check my Eset logs to see if there was a program trying to piggy back on the updater and found that the remote server was causing a TCP overload, even when the firewall is disabled the prog picks up overloads and snooping, so I turned of the TCP overload detection and presto patching fine but slow so back to normal then lmao :)
