Impossible to do a clean install..
Hello, i may be the only person on earth to try this in the last few days, but i've tried to install AOC (on a fresh machine) from both the collectors edition dvd's, and then from the current steam download.
On running the game, the patcher downloads the latest conan update manager, extracts and runs, downloads a second one of these, but then complains that "the update process did not complete successfully."
Looking at the logs, it seems to be complaining about a hash not matching...
