Hi Guys,

I have tried all the tips / stickies but to no avail. I have unticked the read only file for the warhammer folder, have all the correct files placed in the folder and I am running the ror launcher as admin. I have also tried the game with and without my VPN client but still no joy :( The game loads to the title screen and the box that usually says connecting etc is just blank then after about 10 seconds i get a timeout and have to exit the launcher :( I have no idea what else to try i have re downloaded the game , launcher and changed the settings :( Is there anything else i can try as I can't think of anything else any help what so ever will be appreciated

Ok It seems I have it sorted, for some reason the game doesn't like logging in from the UK, I have changed my VPN to the Netherlands and it works!

But do you have to always use the VPN now to play? I do and it's annoying because I am constantly experiencing lag.

Surely there is a proper fix to this? I can't believe that there wouldn't be.

If you have to use a VPN to play the issue is definitely not on the user end. This issue seems to be happening to a lot of people, myself included.

Yes always have to use a VPN now the game client just won't log in via my ISP in the UK. It doesn't really affect me that much tbh as Ive been paying for a VPN for a while with unrestricted speeds and some good servers, but it would be interesting if we knew what the cause actually was?

Might i ask which vpn? Im using cyberfox (i think? Or cyberfire) and it is laggy during evening even with a london server. Can rarely play smoothly.

I also tried easy-vpn .

I actually use IPVanish it is a USA based provider but after trying numerous others this one seems to be the most stable with the highest speeds ( In my situation based in the UK )
