Matrix Games Forums

Installed the game, tried to update having read that there is a pretty critical bug that was patched, but I get

"Error: Update information for Distant Worlds could not be downloaded. Please contact Matrix Games for help."

At first I assumed it was a firewall issue, so I turned both windows and 3rd party firewalls off along with antivirus, and still nothing.

Any ideas? Or is the patch server just down at the moment?

scratch that, I just realized there was an actual patch file hosted on matrix as well, Ill just use that.

Did you get the update? As far as I know, the update server is working fine (I assume this was with the "Check for Updates" link on your game menu?).
