any help?

I'm getting the same thing. Could be the server is down?

There's a problem with the secondary dns servers giving wrong answers. They will sync in around an hour and should be working again.

DNS is working fine again. Maybe it resolves some problems as well for people who weren't able to run the updater before or had to modify their hosts-file.

I've just this second tried to connect to the patcher and I'm afraid to say that I'm still getting the same error as mentioned previously.

Still not working :(

This appears to have rectified itself now...although I have a feeling I didn't wait long enough and thought it had crashed, so clicked to start it again which in turn caused the error i was receiving.
