Update Error 20524

[chanefed]

This error occurred after today's update.
The files will download 100% and install up to 97% before I get this error.
Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Got the same problem. Have never had any problems in the past, this is the first time.

I even went into the version patch download file and deleted what it had downloaded and forced the game to redownload. I got the same error.

Same here, Error shows up at installing ~99.6%.

I really don't want to dump and reinstall, but it IS an option at the moment...
Another option is that it is a 5hr update. It could be that we don't have all of the needed files yet.

That's not it, a lot of people I've talked to are already completely finished. This just seems to be one of those random problems and we hit the lottery :P

I tried redownloading as well and it did not work.

I remember some people getting this error before. the solution was temporarily disabling any active virus scanning software.

Yeah i downloaded succesfully and no problems, I run comcast as well.

If I ventured a guess, not that I know shit, its probably a file corruption of some sort. The only viable option to me seems like a reinstall of the game and all of its files, but obviously thats not desirable. If you start now, you should be done around patch time and can attest as to whether that is a viable solution.


EDIT: Oh yeah like that guy said, if you have AV running turn it off. All of it. Norton, Windows, whatever crap anti viruses you have running. They will fuck up your downloads. If that doesn't work, then try a reinstall of everything.

There's some other threads when you search for that Error. Some people did reinstall and it didn't help I think...
Haven't found any solution either. Might just have to wait until tomorrow. (2 a.m. here )

Edit: Tried with AV/Firewall off, didn't help.

I always get errors when I dl a new patch. I just click ok and the administration settings pop up to continue the patch install.
