Can't connect with EC

[k0t]

Hey guys!

I know this topic has been around but I just felt like creating a new thread hoping someones able to help me.

I can connect/play with the regular 2D Client just fine.

I recently installed the enhanced Client and can't get past the login screen. (beside the fact that some characters aren't showing)

Once I enter my account infos and hit "Login" the client just does nothing ... the top bar shows my account name but nothing more.

I tried running the client as administrator, added exceptions to the windows firewall and to avast antivirus aswell. Also tried turning everything off ... nothing. I also don't have a Nvidia gfx card which seems to cause trouble sometimes. (using ATI Radeon)

I can't see any other reason that could block the login.

Has anyone experienced the same problem and maybe found a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Alex

Should add that I'm using Win7 x64 maybe.

Computer guru - I ain't. There's been a rash of crappy little things going around and I think it has to do with a MS update, but hey I'm a truck driver.

Try this, go to the control panel, select personalization and appearance then folder options. Tell it to show hidden files. Can't hurt anything.

But what would that change? :x

I'm having the exact same problem. I had to reset my computer to factory settings a while back and just recently reinstalled EC. I can't get past the Login screen. I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling again but it didn't help. Any suggestions??

** I browsed further back in the message board and found the solution to my problem.***

if anyone is playing this game and having this problem this may be why.
You may have a motherboard with an Nvidia chipset. If you do, try to locate under add remove programs/drivers
Nvidia ForceWare Network Access Manager
Uninstall this and reboot.
It's semi-hardware based (implemented inside the chipset) so it has some advantages over a software firewall. however, having multiple firewalls can sometimes cause problems.
This solutions works 100% for me. I hope it helps you all and that this gives EA a bit of insight.
