Too many issues, about to give up

well I think mine might have been a mix of wifi being really shitty and xp sp2 compatibility mode. I moved my router closer to where I use my laptop and so far so good. hoping this was all!

mine keep giving me the Error 1017, Unable to connect, you may need to re the patcher. I've done everything I can think of. Do I also need to run the game in a specific screen resolution mode if I'm getting this error?
