    So I am currently trying to update my game client, like many of you. However, I keep getting this error message every time I go to update my client.

    I am currently running OSX 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) on a 2011/12 iMac. PWI is run through Wineskin as CrossOver no longer supports it. I have turned off the firewall and tried to update but that doesn't work either. Naturally, autoupdate doesn't work as well.

    Anyone have a possible fix for us Mac users?

    Disable your antivirus while you update. Including firewalls (as had been said many times)

    It won't be fixed so don't hope for it.

    Disable your anti-virus and Verify your game-client(do it twice or thrice),Be patient it may take sometime depending on your system.

    What is going on...? Whenever i try to patch my client it turns German and says "unable to patch, select new server"

    Anyone know the solution to this?

    http://imgur.com/qOcwV


    EDIT!!!: This is how i got my PWI client to actually start downloading everything and working:

    FOLLOW ALL STEPS.

    1, If you tried to update it and your patcher looks different, you will need to reinstall the game.
    To find the install without having to redownload the game from the internet follow these steps.
    Windows Vista/7 (don't know about XP) Start>Type "install" in the search bar> look for the icon that looks like a Archer. IF IT SAYS SOMETHING IS MISSING YOU NEED TO RE-DOWNLOAD PWI

    2, REINSTALL THE GAME!

    3, Open the patcher DO NOT PATCH ANYTHING YET!!!!!! If it asks you to update click NO!

    4, go here : http://pwi.perfectworld.com/download and download the patches.
    For the Siren update use this link - http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patch...ch_670-676.cup

    5, DO NOT USE AUTOMATIC PATCHING!! If you are having the problems described in this thread IT DOESN'T WORK! once those patches are downloaded click "No" if it asks for automatic patching.

    6, use the button : Manual Patch and use the patches to update the game.

    Good-luck!
    Updated manual patches linked here: http://techsupport.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1717

    We are unable to mirror them, due to their size.

    New client is in the works.

    You can try adding the game folder/files to your exceptions list in your antivirus and firewall software. Please see the help menu or support website for the software that you use if you aren't sure how to do it.

    At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.

    You may also have to disable, shut down, uninstall, or disable any: torrent, keyboard/mouse, web browser toolbars, video/screen capture, gamepad/input device, multimedia, Instant Messaging, voice over IP, web browser games, other games software applications before downloading, installing, updating, logging into, and playing the game. Basically shut down all non-essential programs.

    That's why manual patch is highly recommend for huge updates like Sirens, simply download the manual patch and paste it, it will save your time and effort.

    NOTE:At your own risk, you may have to disable your antivirus, firewall, and other security software temporarily while you download, install, update, login to, and play the game. Sometimes the security software will block it or throttle it, no matter what you try or even if you try to add exceptions for the game files in your security software.

    Try this :)

    http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/patches/manual//ec_patch_670-676.cup

    Right click -> Save As. It is 1.2GB. In Launcher, click Manual. Navigate to the file and click it. If it says "Update list corrupted" or gives a pop up like it, DO NOT CLICK OKAY. Just leave it :). It'll still update.
