I am having a problem that started occurring after the latest patch (28mb in size, Tues 6/12). At first, the patch downloaded and installed without any problem. After the patching was completed I was able to log in to the game and play without any problems. I logged out for a few minutes, then restarted the game client and was told that there was an update (28mb) that needed to be downloaded and installed before I could play. This doesn't make any sense. the patch was already downloaded and applied once, and I was able to play after it was downloaded the first time. Now, it is telling me I have to download it again, and patch the game before I can play. It has done this a total of 3 times so far, and who knows how many more times I will keep having to apply the latest 28mb patch, just to be able to log in and play the game.

Has anyone else experienced this same issue? does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? re-installing the game is not really an option for me, because I am only on 768k DSL and it would literally take days for me to re-install and re-patch from scratch. Thanks for any help.
