Black box on WAR start screen

[Prosthetics]

I'm going to keep this post for you guys as it might help some bug reporting but leaving the window open did indeed eventually allow a connection!

I've looked at the stickies and I'm really hoping there's an alternative solution to the black box issue than VPN. The issue just constantly persists, despite my netstat saying there's an established link to the login server:

Incidentally, this goes without saying but it's worth saying anyway, the work you're doing here to resurrect this game is just fantastic. I imagine we all underestimate the volume of effort that goes to re-creating the server-side code for such a huge and amazing game!

PS. my optimism was a little early, while it did eventually get past this hop, it didnt go the full way to letting me select a server and create a character.
