My friend helped me figure it out and now the game works again. Turns out I had Norton anti virus(that I have never had issues with in the past considering I no longer subscribe to them_ running in the background and it kept detecting the game as a threat. After uninstalling the game I was successfully able to log in.
If it's a free version, it's best to uninstall it Free versions are more "sensitive" in an attempt to encourage users to get the paid versions (bunch of alerts or results about virus)
Guys for real.. it's been 3 days without any actual solution.. few people already confirmed we have the anti virus disabled yet it's not solving any issue here.. can we state the problem and try to make a new patch to fix it please? I'm really thinking of quitting if nothing happens.. and please don't just edit the title as "solved" while it's actually not..
Did you read his reply? I mark it as [Solved] cause the thread owner identified the cause of issue You can make a new thread if it persists for you, I can't keep this thread open for you if his issue is resolved
What if I told you it didn't work for me?! I have tried uninstalling the anti virus and guess what? nothing happened.. so it's NOT the anti virus issue here..
As per my previous reply, create your own thread I am not saying the solution will work for you 100%, I am saying his issue was resolved so I mark it as [Solved] I am not running around closing every thread and saying no problems exist, please refrain from further hijacking or derailing of threads
