Fixed. The problem was a firewall issue. I have ZoneAlarm installed but I had it disabled in startup programs. So my windows firewall was kicking in but was not set up to allow the launcher through.
Solution:
- Started ZoneAlarm
- Restarted launcher
- Allowed the launcher exe through the ZoneAlarm firewall.
- Works fine now.
I changed my DNS, added -http=XXXX to the shortcut launcher, reinstalled the launcher loads of times, checked SSLXX, TLS XX in internet options…nothing worked. Check your firewall first if there is a connection issue!!.
Now to finish my game
