    Default Update Error 0xffffffff80043038

    Hi,

    Since the latest patch I keep getting "Update Error 0xffffffff80043038" when trying to update the game. This includes after 2 complete uninstalls and reinstalls, and disabling my virus scanner / firewall.

    Anyone know what the fix is for this?

    Thanks

    Yes,
    I have been having this error for up to a year
    To my best understanding,
    It is like a server busy signal
    The line just drops

    My history with this is that the update servers are busy for the first couple days after an update
    And that in the past I got this error,
    I would try again maybe 8 hours later,
    Like in the evening off peak hours
    In the past I have gotten this error frequently
    And my fix was to try again over the next few days
    I never did an reinstall
    It is a Updater issue
    So it like having a good line to Updater
    Sometimes it just drops on you
    But what I did to try and meter it,
    Was use different download speeds
    I tried load and now am on 256
    You can set these in options in Updater screen

    So that my only advise,
    Try it in off peak hours
    And if it fails,
    I try like 3-4 times more,
    Waiting a couple mins in bbetween links

    My experience has been that lately I gotta wait 2-3 days after update to get it to take
    But on this last patch, I was able to d/l on two tries
    It took the awesomemium and iterations
    But gave me a 3038 on d/l of the files
    I waited couple mins,
    Restart the launcher,
    And it finished the files
    Sometimes it feels like luck
    I don't when this started happening,
    I never had this problem before a year? Ago
    But that's been my experience

    Hope this helps
