Hello,
Ive played GC2's beta since I first spotted it whilst wibbling aroung on the world wide wibble, got to say that its very good for its stage in development.
Now the problem: And, its all mine. On Christmas evening my house caught fire, destroying all the computers in the house, Including the one that I had GC2 installed on. My family bought a laptop to share until we are on our feet again. Ive had GC2 running fine on this machine. Came to update it today and no luck.
Ive tried everything that I can, and still no luck
Actions so far:
1] Uninstalled GC2, clened up after it. Deleted its directory, the gc2 directory in my documents folder, and its entries in the registry.
2] Uninstalled SDC, reinstalled using the beta option. I also cleaned the registry, manually, and also user application data areas and its directory in program files.
3] Attempted to install GC2, no luck. Tried the above again, thinking I'd missed something. Still no go.
It seems to hang on a particular file when downloading, gc2.sdc. I've searched on the internet for any mentions of this file, and I got a hit, basically telling me to make sure that sdc's server was set to US - California. Tried again after that, nothing, changed it to US - Chicago, sill the same error.
Checked to see if my firewall was in anyway stopping it, nope. Checked AV for script settings, the same. Disbled both, nothing.
Here's the error log:

Any ideas?
Am I going into it more than I should, and gc2.sdc is really missing from the server, for whatever reason?
Thanks,
Nathan.
