Not a gameplay question so much as an installation/how to make it freakin' work question, which is why it's here and not in general gaming.

Quote from my LJ: Downloaded the again free beta thingy and installed today, but it won't work. It connects to the patch server and grabs a few things, then I get three error boxes that have just random symbols in them, so I have no clue what they say.

Can anyone help me fix this?
