    do you have the game open in a second window? If jot, reboot and retry.
    Hoping for improvements...

    No, one window only. Shut down the launcher, started another; it picked up with the same error 36 msg. Launcher is looping on this error msg. trying to patch todays files.

    Ok, I'm in. Did a power off/on reset of all equipment, and the patch was a success. Thanks for your time. Game on!

    You probably had a game program (not the launcher program) running in the background such as the Cryptic's error reporting program. You need to check the process in the task manager.

    Reboot your computer and patch.
