Login problems -'fetching player - timed out'

Postby hhhenry » Thu Jun 21, 2018 3:04 pm

In February, I lost my terebyte drive. Most was backed up but not game installations. Recently reinstalled Deep Island.
On the dark screen with the bars at the bottom - preparing to link -'authenticating' fine; Preparing to link Fetching player freeze and 'times out'. Kill with task manager and restart, and everything is fine.

This continues and happens first login every day. Does not happen for subsequent logins that day.

If it works the second time, this sounds like a network issue to me -- really slow DNS, or something like that? Do you have some kind of "personal firewall" installed? Those tend to break Uru because they are confused by how it does networking.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

No on personal firewall - just Norton.
I can sometimes finesse the thing if I hit Task Manager right when it happens. Task manager comes up and Uru launches as normal.
Norton isn't a change but the re-installation is.
