Since the PlayOnline version update will modify the "pol.exe" file, certain security/antivirus software may require you to alter software settings to allow this. If you get errors such as "POL-0019" or "POL-1160," or the PlayOnline Viewer fails to connect, please refer to the manual for your security software and check your settings.

I thought the maintenance for this update was supposed to about 6 hrs long. I come back to the game after about 8 hrs at least, expecting to go in and update my game when.... BAM!! There now seems to be a temporary internet problem with SE. (if Im getting that right)

I'm looking at the PoL server status page Here! and the little logo things beside each of the server names say "Internet Issue" instead of "Up". Could that be a problem on my side, or something with SE? The game wont let me update right now, and keeps giving me a PoL error when I try to.

Maybe I should just come back later and try again. Hopefully things will be better by then. /sigh!
