Can;t download update or anything from the website

Laramie,

I have heard the latest Microsoft update effected Zone Alarm. They have a patch on their site.

Scott, that's correct - ran afoul of that last week but the ZA new version fixes the Windows Security update clash. However, the issue with firewall and Matrix downloads has been around for a long time. Same behavior with the latest Zone Alarm. In reality, I don't think it's that big a deal - just not made as obvious what might be causing a problem for some people as it could be.
 
PS Do you enjoy Tacoma area? Listen to public radio there? A couple - at least! of excllent stations for jazz and for news.

The situation is following: I dl again last night the newest Update on my old Notebook with WinXP/SP2 (use here a JTCS install with the last updates for tests) again and all is working, NO PROBLEMS!

Than i want to dl it for my main PC with WinXP Media Center and ... have the same problems again, can dl but not install the file. No Zonealarm on both, use the Win Firewall!

You can also use the Update feature from the game menu, as long as you have a version older than 1.03 installed

I tried it, but it doesn´t work!

Is it possible that WinXP Media Center is the reason for all?

Laramie,

I have been here all my life, and love it. I dont listen to PBR. Either country or 70/early 80s rock. I add the Tacoma to my name because there are a number of forums I am on that have more than one Scott on them.

Hi, am having probs dowloading this or any other matrix update since the website was updated.

Hi, I was having that same trouble after the Matrix server move, though that may have been a coincidence. In the past I've bought and downloaded (including Matrix Version Freebies) around 13 games and have never had a problem with download management, corrupt files, time out errors, fire wall blockages or anything else for that matter.

However, this time, I just couldn't get 'this update'. After trying a load of options: via a laptop, a tower system, with firewall, without firewall, changing firewalls, connecting wirelessly, via ethernet, via usb, I was getting a bit annoyed. I mean, I love this site, the games and the service that Matrix provides. The thought that I'd never be able to download any new games or updates in the future was rather depressing.

Thankfully, I managed to get the update today. Using a simple (free) "Download Manager", which I've never had to use before, I downloaded the update in a matter of minutes.

Very Happy.
