Status: offline 		Just got TOAW III and am trying to patch it up, but the patch will not activate. Is the "patch machine" down for some reason?

Do you mean that you can't download the patch?

Or, that you have downloaded the patch, but you can't extract it?

Or, that you've downloaded the patch, extracted, but don't know what to do next?

What "patch machine" are you talking about?

Help!

Status: offline 		This always happens for me with Matrix patches. Last time, I finally managed to connect to the ftp server by turning off my firewall. But Im sure I'd tried that before without it working, so I have no idea what the issue actually is. Wouldn't be surprised if the Matrix ftp set-up was flaky in some way.

Can you try using this address?

Status: offline 		That worked.  Thank you.

(Now, do I need the same kind of thing to get my WITP updated?  I am at version 1.60, so I need both the 1.80 comprehensive and the 1.801 file.  I'll post over on the WITP thread if I need to.)

Glad everything went all right.
It'd probably yield better results indeed to post on the WitP sub-forum. I don't have any patch at hand for this game

Thanks,
