RUN YOUR GAME IN COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR WINDOWS XP WHILE IT UPDATES THEN UNCOMPATIBILITY MODE IT AFTER IT'S UPDATED/BEFORE YOU PLAY
I'VE NO IDEA IF THIS WORKS BUT I THINK THATS WHAT FREDD AND PERFO DO BECAUSE THEIR HON HAS CHEESE STUCK IN THE COGWHEELS SO THEY CANT UPDATE NORMALLY TOO
depends what operating system you're on, but right click your hon icon/exe, properties, compatibility, tick run in compatibility mode then XP service pack 3 is the one you want (i think)
this is assuming you're on vista/win7, if you're already on xp then it doesnt matter :D
What I do is what noedel says, but I run the game in windows95 compatibility mode (rightclick shortcut, properties, compatibility, tick box and windows95), load the game, download and install the patch, close the game, turn compatibility mode off, and reload the game.
Works all the time but if you forget to turn off compatibility mode your game will lag hard. :D
