okay well i have downloaded Anarchy Online 7 times.
all from different sources.
I start to patch and once it gets to the end of patching i get a error that says

"an unrecoverable error occurred during patching.you might have to reinstall AnarchyOnline to play."


But i have reinstalled it.
i ran anti virus
AOrepair.
turned my firewall off.



i am very very mad.

i wasted about half my thanksgiving break trying to solve this.

Any ideas or suggestions would be very nice

hmm - just a short, maybe stupid question: did you try to start/play AO after the error message? most of the time a new patch came out, patching ended for me with an error message, but everything was fine, i was able to play....

another idea:
IIRC you can download all the seperate patches somewhere from the AO-website(?), so if the automatic patcher doesnt work, maybe try to install ao first, then - without starting/patching AO try to install all the incremental patches (which probably would be a not-so-nice work, but....)...

just some ideas....dont know if this is of any help to you.... good luck!

well i downloaded all the patches with no problems then it woudlnt let me play..said i have to patch


so i was thinking.
maybe try a newer version of anarchyonline.
like maybe 17.0

so theres not that many patches,
but im not sure

(and some of the AO patches on the website are corrupted?)
just what my computer says

did you try to download/install the large client? dont know if there are different patches for small/large client... Have you tried to install the stuff you've downloaded on a different computer eg. from a friend? I really dont know, just guessing around :/

If you are going to upgrade, download the large client anyway.
Even if you aren't you can play the fr00b game on the large client.

The official forums have a tech help section which you can read, but cant post to unless you are paid up.
Have you checked there?
I'm pretty sure the help you are after will be there, as lots of people have patching issues.

Are you using Vista, XP, Linux...a Commodore 64...a calculator?
:) Just kidding, but vista does cause some people to have patching issues when the game is installed to the default location.

Usually all that is required to fix patching problems is the correct permissions, or the alteration of a few patching file/log/things.
I would definitely head to the tech forums ( http://forums.anarchy-online.com/forumdisplay.php?f=140 ) for a look either way.

btw: I'm just a security conscious old crank....but I would recommend only ever downloading from official sources.
Bittorent is cool and all and I get that...but the official release is THE official release, and even if you were a paid up customer and asked FC support for help on a version you didn't buy on CD or download from them...the 1st thing they would do is to tell you to download the official client.

Firstly, I get that error everytime I patch, it's never stopped the game working?

Second, where the hell are you downloading from? I can't believe that the version on the official site is really that old.

All the patches can be found on the offical site too.

That screenshot doesn't show anything wrong, everything is working as it should be.

Okay, After a long month without AO, I have figured out that i just need to Delete EVERYTHING off the hard rive, and download AO from the official website.

I payed for AO 3 days after i uninstalled it (for large client)

I only have about 4 days of all expansion's.
So yeah that realy blows.
But good news is i can play Froob again!
