Return of Reckoning

So it worked fine this morning, I created a dwarf engineer, did some of the beginners quests, got to level 3, then logged off to do some work. It all started to mess up when I created a new character, a squig herder. When I first created him, the game decided to stop working. I logged back in, chose him, then pressed play. When I got into the game, there were no NPCs, monsters, or players. I logged back out, and tried my dwarf. It sent me back to the front page, but it now had a play button, and showed my dwarf. I pressed play, it loaded, and suddenly my dwarf was in some no-where zone, the entire screen except for the UI was black, the map should me at some weird intersection of 4 map corners, and when I went to the big map it had no idea where I was. I quit the game, tried to play as the dwarf again, and the same thing happend, only now the entire screen was now the skybox. After I quit, again, I could no longer log in. I found the server, but the login always failed. And now the launcher isn't even working anymore. Little help please?

Edit: Ok, so I reinstalled it, and I can launch the game, but now I am getting critical errors. And when I try to launch it after that, it won't.

Seems to be something going on. There seems to be a few of us having the same issue,

I fixed it! Had to download Hotspot Shield. Probably was the router.

Got a link?
