Having the same deal, same numbers, sad to say.

Have tried a dozen tricks, including uninstalling/reinstalling, changing install directory, changing modems, disabling protections, etc. Nothing.

Worse still, trying to reinstall the game is worse; the exact same problem's still there, always around the same location for each case. Never had problems updating before; no idea why this patch is different, but something's done broke.

Wanted to have a more positive forum post to start off with, but here we are I guess.
