So for the past 2 hours or so, I've been trying to get my multiplayer to work.  First i realized that i needed to update, so i downloaded the 1.05 patch off the website, then installed Impulse and began to download the 1.12 patch. 

then, after about ten minutes of "Preparing the Download..." the entire updates and downloads tabs of Impulse disappeared.  I've tried to find the missing update to install it again, but it seems to be hiding.  I've even gone into the game and pressed the "Download Updates" button from the front menu, but again, nothing pops up on Impulse.

I really want to play multiplayer, but this byzantine updating process is really frustrating me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
