I'm trying to download and install the client, but i keep getting a "MD5 hash mismatch" error by the time the client finishes downloading the patch.
I've browsed this forum and tried all sorts of solutions, including disabling antiviruses and firewalls, use custom and default folders, removing the "read only" option from the patch file and hitting the "Retry" button over and over again.

Still, no joy. I can't download the game.
Is there any website from wich i can download the game, given that i cannot do it from this one?

Have you run it with administrative rights?
For windows 7 right click on the shortcut select properties, then advanced, then put a check in the run as administrator box.
Be sure to delete all files from the temp dir (hold down shift while clicking delete to perm delete files not move them to trashcan) before trying again.

Yes I have tried EVERYTHING and can't get a clean download to play. I would think this would be #1 priority considering you can't play if you can't even download the required patches. This has been a KNOWN issue for some time and STILL no fix. Man I LOVE this game and you guys are doing a terrific job on the game itself but it's VERY discouraging after several hundred attempts to re-install the game and play. I mean I know it's still in Beta but c'mon man how're people gonna know how cool this game is when they'll NEVER get a chance to play.

try downloading game is "safe mode", sounds like a driver or resident program is blocking it, or misdirecting it???

hundreds if not thousands have downloaded and play without issues (me included)....its youre software or equiptment, or bolth.

No luck on my end, internet died mid-patch of latest and had to re-install everything. But now I'm stuck in MD5 mismatch. Maybe a interrupted patch causes it?
