    If the problem was server wide I would have expected more posts on here which is rather puzzling.

    Same problem, I was able to login for about 30 mins after the servers came back up then I was booted, game reported I was disconnected from server, but my internet was running fine.

    haven't been able to login since, says connection to account server has timed out.

    tried launching game client from Arc and separate, ends with the same thing.

    could the op change the topic name to "account server timeout", or something like that, to get someone's attention?

    I'm having the exact same problem. Can't get on at all. Since this only appears to affect a small percentage of players, I'm not holding my breath for a fix.

    ive had something similar like this happen to me on patches on the past. try going to your fire wall and turning it off while activating the launcher. it seems that something in the patch sometimes resets your fire wall so that it cannot update the launcher or verify your patch files.


    not sure what the problem is. but once you turn off the fire wall temporarily and launch the launcher. it starts to verify the files and usually the game will then launch for me after that.


    then turn you fire wall back on don't for get to turn it back on. ! hope this works for some of you. I TRIED IT YESTERDAY AND IT WORK FOR ME.

    good luck to you all!
