Return of Reckoning

hello, new here...just registered and downloaded the game an hour ago and i got this error after verifying the game via launcher

-Disconnected from server. Error: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

or is this still region limited that i need to use vpn to play?

i have decent internet connection btw..

Check the antivirus/firewall section on the installation thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45103&sid=e225c63f2 ... 6dfe418cf1

if that doesn't help, make sure all your windows updates are done and nothing is in middle of updating. restart your PC and try again.

if still doesn't work, can you try with a VPN

edit: The game isn't region locked, but some ISPs are just awful with the routing or have weird blocks of their own

the game downloaded WAR file from 4/2k then this pops-up
Even after restarting and follow few steps like whitelisting and reinstall Dx9 this still pops-up

Still not much info to go by.
you can host the images on imgur.com and link here for example

screenshot of your RoR folder with file list and sizes would be nice to have also
