Can't create new Character

I downloaded the game and the launcher. When I start the launcher, I get an error, but the game launches.... I can configure the settings and everything, but I dont see any way to make a character.

The error that I get during launch is:
Data.myp:
System.InvalidOperationException: Category does not exist.
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName)
at MYPHandler.MYPHandler..ctor(String filename, del_FileTableEventHandler eventHandler_FileTable, del_FileEventHandler eventHandler_Extraction, HashDictionary hashDic)
at RoRLauncher.Client.UpdateWarData()

Also, here is a pic of what I see when I launch the game

EDIT: OK, I found my problem.
For anyone else with this issue, this is what you do to fix it....

1. Go to start, and type in the search box "cmd". Right click cmd, and run as administrator.

2. Type in the command console, "cd c:\windows\system32", and hit enter.

3. Then type "lodctr /r", and hit enter.

Seems like problem in yours antivirus. Was the same with me. Add client folder to exclusion of antivirus. If not helps redownload client add in exclusions and then only start game.

Are you still getting an error during start-up?

When you get this error <login timeout> and the server ISN'T down!

(check it on the website first or if other people have this problems too) please download http://www.chip.de/downloads/Hotspot-Sh ... 00785.html

Then just start the game and it should work.

(Own risk)

Try right click on client folder and push "Properties" -> "General" if there is mark "Only for reading" remove it. It must help. I can call some options not like they are named in real cose I have russian windows.
