    Can you provide us the text of a dxdiag?

    1. In Vista, type dxdiag in the Start menu search bar
    2. In other versions of Windows, type dxdiag in the Run command (Start > Run)
    3. For Win XP, Start > Run type in dxdiag, press enter. Click on the button at the bottom that says Save all information. Save the file where you can keep track of it, such as the Windows Desktop. Please put your email user name (not the full address) in the name of the dxdiag log file name when you save it.

    If you were having DirectX-related issues, the most relevant aspects would be the System Manufacturer, System Model, Display Device Name, Display Device Chip Type, and the Display Device driver section. This is almost certainly a networking issue, though, so DirectX is (hopefully) not involved.

    Unfortunately, his problem sounds like he's getting disconnected, session errors, or throttled between a file server and his house. That's a rather nasty error to track down.

    Clement, if you have a seperate router and modem, could you plug your computer's ethernet connection directly into the modem's ethernet connection, reset and renew your IP address, and then try downloading again? When you're done and want to put your network back the way it was before, you'll need to reset and renew IP again for wide area network access.

    (to reset and renew an IP address in XP, go to Start, Run... Enter "cmd" (without quotes) in the white box, and hit the ok button. In the resulting window, type "ipconfig /release" then hit the enter key and "ipconfig /renew" then the enter key (without quotes in both cases). In Vista, type CMD into the Start Search box, right click the cmd result on the list, and click Run As Administrator. Okay the UAC if it comes up. Then type "ipconfig /release" then hit the enter key and "ipconfig /renew" then hit the enter key.)

    Problem there though the patch itself goes into different files not just one and I have no idea which files. So I would have to upload my entire PWI file for the size that file is I never found a page where I can do that without paying for it.
    For most people it works just downloading the element.data and tasks.data to get the entire patch afterwards. If I know and can find the file you need I have no problem uploading it but unfortuanetly I can not upload the patch itself. b:sad

    5. What is your bandwidth (both download and upload speed)? You can test your bandwidth at: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

    That is very odd. Everything looked alright to me so it should work.

    That's a nice network connection; I've seen laggier T1 lines. You may have a software firewall or security agent interrupting the TCP sessions : make sure that access to the patch destinations are accessible.

    i have a cable connection with comcast i have a router with 3 machines connected i have dmz'ed this computer and have even also tried opening port 29000 in my router forwarding section how ever even after that if i go to google and look up a port checker and check to see if port 29000 is open it says its not


    any help would be great. thanks

    Truenme, port checkers will only report a port as open if there is a service recieving and responding to packets on that side. That should not be the case for your computer. If you want to check port 29000 outgoing, please use a tool such as nmap and use the command "nmap -p29000 -PN pwigc3.perfectworld.com" within its zenmap GUI.

    So it's not just me having this problem then? The manual patch just doesn't seem to download and the automatic one always stops at the same point. I turned off my firewall and my router is directly conncted to my computer.

    I just want to PLAY THIS GAME!!!
