I'm having the same issue... I'm not sure what the problem is, but here's a traceroute. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the first request timing out or not.

Same here. Ever since the last patch I cannot get past the login screen. It gets to the Legacy of Romulus screen and then the game just shuts down and becomes non-responsive and closes itself.

Rumor 1 -- europe has misplaced the entire internet.
Rumor 2 -- LA, and possibly the patch server, are behind a borked router or something.
I dunno, I am just saying ppl having problems right now, and yours might be related.
