[quote="KIYTON"]Since around 2pm GMT time I have problems logging into the game. It says "Checking for updates" and then after about 30 seconds it says "Network Error: Socket operation timed out" and then says "Could not load the news page. I tried reinstalling but when I did, my Anti-Virus had a hissy fit and refuses to let me install it. Now the problem is, The play icon will not show up after 30 seconds and it still gives me these errors. Cheers in advance[/quote]

Check theres an exception in the Firewall and the folder is excluded from virus scans.[/quote]

[quote="KIYTON"]Thanks for the info. I tried the manual way to allow it to run but it wouldn't work so I turned off Nortan's annoying "Smart Firewall" and now it works. Thanks again and much appreciated :D[/quote]
