Hi Support,
When I run the AoC application, the patcher gets stuck on stage 2, which is supposed to update 65mb but goes on to load 1.45gb before declaring itself ready. When I click “Accept”, it reloads the patcher and starts again!
Help?

Are you still having trouble after fully closing and restarting the patcher?
You may need to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software before trying again, but restarting will usually allow it to complete the update normally.
Hi Rooibos,
I’m reinstalling now but so far Kaspersky has only flagged one update link as “dangerous”. I’ve scanned those links into Kaspersky’s checker and they’ve come back as safe, so it’s throwing up false positives. (Bloody things!)
Thanks for the advice.

Sorry for going off on a tangent, but never trust government-sponsored solutions. Kaspersky is known to be hated by its countrymen (even its “VPN” service is not VPN, as it blocks content against constitutions in various countries: be careful with that module). Use something more reliable like German- or US-produced stuff.
