Unable to initialize on-demand patching and connect to patch server. The connection was idle to long. I am on ventrillo with a fleet-mate and he says hes fine. question is what's wrong with mine?:(
its patching a 3600 patch file when I did what you said. what's up with that?
"what's up with that" is that you're now downloading everything PoD skipped.
Patching on Demand only downloads the "essentials", i.e. what's absolutely necessary to play the game. Everything else is downloaded while you're playing (music, higher-resolution textures, etc). That's why the patches are smaller now. They're not actually smaller, you're just downloading them as you play instead of all at once.
For example, if Cryptic releases a 1,000 MB patch, you may only download 600 MB with PoD enabled. The other 400 MB will download as you need it ( "on demand").
Disabling Patching on Demand forces the client to download everything (like it used to), which means more patching up front, but also means faster load times while playing. It's a trade-off either way.

did you run a force verify to sdee if you had corrupted data?
good luck.
yes done a force verify each time it crashed. three times
that means it is patching/updating everything.

Yes I know this, but I've done all the patching before this error. Why do I need this?
Ok now I understand. thank you
