Ye its looking like the download servers have took a pounding with all the new beta testers and appear to failing on many different files.

There seems to be no way to fix this atm.

I've tried running as admin , few different compatibility modes, anti-virus switched off and it will always fail at some point.

Problem is from what i can understand you can only play the beta when they say so (usually weekends) and with this problem a lot of people are going to miss out this week

Furious fighters! Sunday 8-10pm

Shame we can't go in now and design characters, I've heard a lot about how awesome the character designer is.

client updater is a bit of a farce, not really a fan of it.

Aha, left mine running last night and it came up with 'update failed' about 4gig in

. Ah well, try again.

KnightStalker · 13 Mar 2010 at 13:31

Yup thats what mine keeps doing, i think its down to the number of people downloading the bits needed, so hopefully they will increase the servers for a while to keep it all going.

Agreed, if you go on the APB forums you can see a couple of posts about this, think one guy said that its because its for the newbs just to get use to the game which totally confuses me as surely they should give us more time to get used to it or what ever but who knows ;P
