OK, as many know, 1.6 is... well ok no one likes it at all, but, has anyone had as many problems wiht the update downloader as i have? ever since 1.6, if i want to download an update, even if its not required, it always says cannot download, error and some other things. Just wondering, since for the update that was required, i downloaded the client, and it went fine, so do i download something elsenow? or is 1.6 all to blame?

Never any problems for me. Before or after 1.6...

Anyone else?

It's crashed for me every single time I've tried to use it. I haven't bothered saying anything, since it's just as easy to go to the website and download the new client manually.

I am told there is a way to fix it, have not tried this yet but PLEASE DO if you canz... would be awesomelicious if it worketh. Here goes the instructions:

Go to a path like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\(INSERT YOUR USERNAME HERE DEWD)\Local Settings\Temp

Delete the stuff in it -- should be alright since it's "Temp" anyway...

Then uninstall SL from the older version uninstaller, and reinstall it. In the latest vers. I think it cleans your cache too so you will be squeaky ice!

And then launch it and see if the autoupdater comes up properly.

If this works for anyone, please do post... thanxies!
