    that means it is patching/updating everything.

    "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.

    Yes I know this, but I've done all the patching before this error. Why do I need this?

    are you getting past the login launcher before the error occurs?
    or is it while the game is loading?

    I restarted my computer and my anti-virus program told me sto wanted to make changes to the internet and I accepted. Presto I back online. I want to thank the community for coming to my aid quickly. I am impressed and humbled. :D I am in your debt. Once again thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been a vocal supporter of CRYPTIC and believe in them and will continue to be patient and faithful because of you.

    Edit: i was just about to ask about your anti-virus. lol.
    sometimes, if you having an anti-virus that updates itself, it will ocaisionally "forget" what you had selected as trusted software.
